[Esip-preserve] Anybody out there yet?

[Ruth Duerr]

Hi Bruce,

I'm glad to see that retirement hasn't diminished your zeal for this  
topic.  You are anticipating one of the major topics of our first  
cluster telecon which should be held either the end of next week or  
the beginning of the week thereafter.  I haven't sent an invite out  
yet as I am waiting for telecon details.

I should note that actually there are several bits of the government  
authorized to archive various things.  NOAA is definitely one of them,  
NARA another, but USGS, NASA and other agencies have responsibilities  
in certain areas too.  As you might expect the law isn't entirely  
consistent or clear and how funding traces to the legal language is  
yet another ugly story.  But that said, if the cluster members agree  
with your suggested agenda for the summer meeting, I think USGS at a  
minimum needs to be added to the list.  Moreover, I could probably  
drum up someone at the LOC.
