I really enjoyed the November RecordDNA session. It was my first time
in Westminster Hall, and I had the opportunity to ask Nick
Thomas-Symonds MP, Co-Chair of the All Parliamentary Archives Group,
whether he thought that records custody technology was capable of
keeping his personal and medical information sufficiently intact if he
were to by cryonically supercooled and vitrified in preparation for
allowing interstellar colonization efforts to select colonists from
our generation. His response was encouraging.
On less speculative notes, I was also able to recommend CC-BY as the
appropriate default license for public sector and individually
published works of authorship, how to work those licenses with
authors' rights to exploit their popular work, and how to work them
with the right to be forgotten.
I obtained some vocal agreement with, and no dissenting views
expressed out loud against, the idea that compulsory royalties should
be distributed in an incidence countering the greater income
inequality brought about by the consolidation arising from mass
consumer copying technologies. In the 1970s there were about three
times as many professional musicians, artists, mass market authors,
but modern compulsory royalties schemes which do not always distribute
those royalties in ways that make up for publisher consolidation and
mass consumer copying responsible for the decline.
There are some blog posts here:

I understand they will be summarizing all participant comments and
their proposed dispositions of them some time soon on that blog.
Best regards,
Jim

Subject: Free Parliamentary event - RecordDNA – developing an
international research agenda for the future digital evidence base
To: FREEDOM-OF-INFORMATION(a)jiscmail.ac.uk
There are just a few additional spaces left on this event due to last
minute cancellations. This free event aims to share the findings of
the RecordDNA international research network. These include the ideas
gathered from multiple disciplinary stakeholders – both practitioners
and academics – about the components of a digital record and their
vision of the ‘ideal’ useable digital evidence base. The key aim is to
gather further input about the research and practice needed to deliver
the vision in order to finalise a research agenda. This work will
inform policy makers and build future research partnerships.
The task is significant and challenging. The RecordDNA project team
has therefore engaged people around the world in workshops and
crowdsourcing activities. This is the final event at which you can
hear about the work and add your ideas to the question ‘what research
and development is needed?’
The event will be held next to Westminster Hall, UK Parliament 11-1pm
on 30 November 2017. To secure one of the limited number of places
