<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Thanks again to all participants, and to those who have forwarded comments and amendments to the workshop record. I have attached a summary of the workshop recommendations and notes, which will be included into the DIRISA proposal to DST as an Annexure to illustrate the needs and concerns of a potential user community.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I would also <B><U>ask those of you involved in institutional repositories and libraries</U></B> to please fill in a short survey (9 questions, mostly multiple choice) that we want to use to gauge the feasibility of a shared preservation management platform on the DIRISA infrastructure. The survey can be found here: <A href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H8HRCX8">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H8HRCX8</A> , and I will keep it open until about 9 March. Also forward to other potential users that you may know of.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Note that the shared preservation infrastructure probably supplements and supports ‘live’ digital repositories, by taking care of physical and format preservation management, and providing a disaster recovery/ off-site archiving facility, amongst some of its tasks. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Many thanks for your help.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
