 The Mission Operations and Information Management Services Area (MOIMS),

 CONSIDERING that
 - Many CCSDS member agencies and other organizations are currently producing
 digitally encoded information at an increasing rate, and that
 - These collections are held in a number of digital repositories (archives),
 and that
 - So far there have been no independent criteria to objectively judge
 whether or not any of these archives have been adequately protecting their
 digital holdings, and in particular whether the information in those
 holdings will remain understandable and usable by their Designated
 Communities in the future, and

 RECOGNIZING THAT
 - there is a demand for a standard against which Repositories of digital
 information may be audited and on which an international accreditation and
 certification process may be based,

 Resolves that

 a digital Repository Audit and Certification Working Group be formed in
 accordance with the attached charter.
