Report on Sustainable Digital Preservation
During the past year, I have been serving as a member of the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Digital Preservation and Access, which is being funded by US National Science Foundation and the Andrew Mellon Foundation, and supported by a number of other key organizations. This Task Force has recently released its first-year report, which can be found here:

http://brtf.sdsc.edu/biblio/BRTF_Interim_Report.pdf

Note that much of this report is concerned with establishing definitions and surveying and synthesizing the current state of knowledge (or, sometimes, lack of knowledge) as well as practical experience gained from a number of digital preservation programs that offered testimony to the Task Force; there  will be  a second year report containing conclusions and reccomendations that builds on this one.

For more information on the committee and its work, you can visit:
