Minutes

I. Members of the committee introduced themselves. Charlie Arp, chair, gave an overview of the Electronic Records Committee, explained what general schedules are, and charged the subcommittee to create general schedules for electronic records of an administrative nature common to all applications.

II. The committee agreed to use the general schedule for electronic data processing records from New York State Archives and Records Administration (NYSARA) as a starting point for discussion.

III. The committee agreed that the general schedules should pertain to administrative records that are created by computer applications and processes. Examples include log files, spool files, audit trails, etc.

IV. The committee agreed that a fourth section for administrative electronic records should be added to the current General Schedules. Cross references could then be provided to the first three sections of the general schedules where applicable. It was also suggested that the front matter for the general schedules should explicitly state that the general schedules apply to all records, regardless of media type.

V. The committee reviewed the NYSARA general schedules. A list of record series that were agreed upon will be mailed to each committee member for further discussion.

VI. The committee agreed that the following records should also be discussed for inclusion in the general schedules: web pages, mail logs, fax logs, voice mail, video conferencing.

The committee will continue to work via the listserv (erc-gs@regents.state.oh.us) to agree on the list of record series to be included in the general schedules and to define each series.

The next meeting of the committee is scheduled for Tuesday, 16 March 1999 at 1:30pm in the Archives Library Conference Room at the Ohio Historical Center. At that meeting, the committee will begin assigning retention periods to each record series.
