As we are only starting the analyses of received feedback in March I’m not able to give you in-depth answers to your valid comments yet. However, as a short remark I can state that until now our work has focused on providing a practical Information Package structure proposal to support discussions between digital preservation experts and software providers. With these stakeholders in mind we have, for now, assumed that OAIS is known to reviewers and there is no need to explicitly discuss relations between our work and OAIS in the document. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>Saying that we are also aware that the final version of the Common Specification (due in January 2017) will need to be much more detailed in regard to OAIS and as such it is our intention to add relevant sections after we have finished the current feedback phase. If you or your colleagues are interested in monitoring the process please let us know and we would be more than happy to provide you with next versions of the document already before 2017. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>Best regards, <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>Kuldar Aas<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>---<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>Technical Co-ordinator<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>E-ARK Project<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.eark-project.com">http://www.eark-project.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><i><span lang=ET style='color:#1F497D'>---<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It looks as if they realise that they still have a lot of work to do.
