Saving Government Email an Open Question with December 2016 Deadline Looming

Via National Security Archive: “The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Department of the Treasury’s Comptroller, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are among a handful of agencies that have already admitted they will not meet the December 31, 2016, deadline for electronic management of official government email – like Hillary Clinton’s – in their mandatory, annual self-assessment report to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). One in six agencies did not even bother to turn in their own self-assessments, which were due by January 29, 2016, according to a new Email Alert released today by the National Security Archive at www.nsarchive.org to mark Sunshine Week. The questions in the self-assessments – formally called Senior Agency Official reports – are simple:  “Is your agency going to meet current NARA and Office of Management and Budget guidance and manage all email electronically by the end of 2016?  What steps has your agency taken, and what steps will it continue to take, to meet this goal?”
