Deadline for registrations: 27 April

The DLM Forum will hold its next meeting in Copenhagen from 31 May to 1 June 2012, at the stunning Danish Royal Library (pictured right; our thanks to Jeroen Pulles for the image). This meeting is an important opportunity for DLM Forum members to hold the Executive to account. Registration for the meeting is available at the Statens Arkiver (State Archives) website. A preliminary programme is published in the same place and on the DLM Forum website (or click here). The meeting could be important for the future of MoReq and the Forum, and members should strongly consider attending.

Lots of MoReq2010 news...

Meanwhile, the DLM Forum has been exceptionally active. In the last few weeks, it has:

announced that the Moreq2010 project is now "complete" (even though MoReq2010 is evidently far from complete).
appointed an "analysis company" as an accredited test centre.
appealed for volunteers to joing the MoReq Governance Board.
advertised for a Managing Director.

Something must have spurred the Forum into action...

The appointment of a Managing Director sounds like a particularly positive move. Assuming that the funding is available for this post, the appointment of an entrepreneurial executive could be just what is needed to lift the Forum out of the doldrums into which it has sunk.

For detailed analysis of the MoReq situation in February 2012 see our 'Tightrope Balancing Act' paper, downloadable along with other MoReq2010 resources from our MoReq2010 page. The paper is now partially overtaken by events, but its sentiments may still usefully influence analyses of the situation.

You can use the resources on this site:

to learn about MoReq
to inform others about MoReq
to prepare presentations and other material that refer to MoReq
to see how widespread knowledge about MoReq is, and to prove how influential MoReq has become

In other words, there are lots of resources that can help you do your job, by helping you to convince management, by telling you what others think, what others do, and by providing pionts of contact.

MoReq has become a worldwide phenomenon. Articles, web pages, presentations, adaptations and other resources about MoReq are published continually. MoReq conferences are held, training delivered, and policies published... and this all around the globe, not just in Europe.

Tens of thousands of resources mention MoReq. We cannot include all of them on this site, and even if we could we would not. We try to include here resources that are useful in some way – because they illustrate a point, because of their language or provenance, because of their content and so on.

Please send us any additional resources that should be included on this site.We are very interested in your feedback as well.

To navigate this site, and to find useful resources, use the menus at the top of left of each page: or use the site map.

We hope you find all this helpful, and that you will let us know how you get along (and that you will contribute more resources!)

This site contains a large and growing collection of material about MoReq.
