[Moims-rac] Proposed amendment to B1.6

[Lambert, SC (Simon)]

At today's Megameeting (transcript on wiki) some changes were proposed
to B1.6, which is now proposed to read:

----
B1.6 Repository provides producer/depositor with appropriate responses
at *agreed* [was: predefined] points during the ingest processes. 

Based on the initial processing plan and agreement between the
repository and the producer/depositor, *if it is appropriate to have
such a plan,* the repository must provide the producer/depositor with
progress reports at *agreed* [was: specific, predetermined] points
throughout the ingest process. Responses can include initial ingest
receipts, or receipts that confirm that the AIP has been created and
stored. Repository responses can range from nothing at all to
predetermined, periodic reports of the ingest completeness and
correctness, error reports and any final transfer of custody document.
*Producers/*Depositors can request further information on an ad hoc
basis when the previously agreed upon reports are insufficient. 

Evidence: Submission agreements/deposit agreements/deeds of gift;
workflow documentation; standard operating procedures; evidence of
"reporting back." 
----

The rationale is that there has to be flexibility to accommodate
different situations such as web harvesting (no feedback required) as
well as more formal arrangements with depositors.

With these amendments I think that the feeling is that B1.6 can be
considered mandatory.
