2.   Proposal for Committee minutes website - Brian Miller

 

Brian passed around a proposal to implement an internal website for CITPG committees. The website would allow secretaries to set up agendas, type meeting notes, and compose the official minutes using a simple “point and click” interface. Brian further explained how the website would allow committee members to make comments on the minutes; if possible, the minutes could be approved electronically.

 

Paul suggested getting something in place to see if it works before making a motion. He offered to set up a prototype.

3.    Document Management Subcommittee - Karl Altenburg

 

Karl passed out a report outlining the activity and progress of the subcommittee. Document Management Report April 2005

 

The University archivists provided several leads and insights into document management on campus and elsewhere. They will provide archiving of documents and will assist in paper document handling. When given an electronic document, they create a paper copy and archive it. They did note that there is no national standard format for electronic document archiving. They indicated a desire for direction from the state or the development of a NDSU Office of Records Management and noted that UND already has such an office.

 

Comments:

  Need for standardization

  Who pays for it?

  First, we need to know what things need to be archived and how to archive them

  

  The NDSU Policy Manual addresses record retention and provides a record  retention schedule under Section 713: RECORDS RETENTION

 

  Karl will look into requirements and solutions.
