<div class="m_-3575682285322191275moz-cite-prefix">Mark's and my emails seem to have
diametrically opposed impressions of the paper. It sounds like
Mark thinks she's discarding DCs. <br>
<br>
He may be right, but I think we need to applaud her effort, and
show her that we want to use her criticism to improve life for
TDRs. She clearly understands that Designated Communities are not
collections of users, nor even necessarily tangible. They are
abstractions and in this case abstractions that are particularly
difficult to define. <br>
<br>
I'd opine that she isn't challenging the notion of a Designated
Community so much as calling for help in establishing guidance for
TDRs to define their DCs better And I'd agree with that. It's
been 7 years since the Test Audits, and John and David have been
doing live audits to add more specifics to our experience base. To
my knowledge, nothing of any of our joint experiences has
suggested that TDRs' responsibility to define and serve Designated
Communities is understood, nor do have auditors been given tools
for how to guage the TDRs' definitions (and evolution of the
definitions), or service to Designated Communities. <br>
<br>
The guidance that I think is needed is to provide some tangible
examples, perhaps illustrated by one or more Use-Cases, to show
how a TDR can clearly define Designated Communities (yes,
plural..that's another argument, I know) and more or less
rigorously apply those definitions so that they can be used to
satisfy audit requirements. Maybe David could update his Book.<br>
<br>
I don't think it should go into the revision of OAIS, but perhaps
a later update to 16363 or a separate pamphlet or annex.<br>

If she attended PTAB training, we need to review the sections
that cover Designated Communities. She does not appear to have a
good understanding of the purpose of a Designated Community.
