IGRM Project established at EDRM kickoff meeting in May 2009
Agreed-upon objective, scope of project (broad; not limited to e-discovery)
Organization into 6 sub-groups to research and gather input from a wide variety of resources (organizations, experts, and industry professionals):
SG1 = Technology industry analysts
SG2 = Industry trade associations: ARMA, AIIM, ISACA
SG3 = ECM vendors and other IM vendors
SG4 = Standards and certification organizations: ISO, ITIL, DoD, etc.
SG5 = Healthcare (AHIMA, HIMSS)
SG6 = Corporations
Varying levels of progress have been made with each of the sub-groups; but for the most part, each sub-group gathered resource material, conducted preliminary research, and engaged in dialogue with target sub-group audiences
Developed multiple preliminary IMRM framework(s) for internal review, comment, refinement, further development
Developed and decided on primary IMRM framework (Level 1) diagram (currently in development but available to make public as an initial draft)
Released version 1 of draft IMRM framework for public comment
Goals
February-May 2010: Public comment period:
Obtain comments via multiple sources; in addition to general public comment, we will seek feedback via: (a) outreach activities of each of the 6 sub-groups, and (b) additional proactive outreach methods, which may include a structured, formal feedback mechanism
Develop and produce draft working definitions document based on research and activity across all 6 sub-groups to accompany framework and describe components
Intake comments; develop and refine framework and supporting materials; repeat as necessary (within reason)
May 2010 (EDRM annual meeting): Official launch of IMRM framework
