This statement about the duty to document was developed by ICA and the International Conference of Information Commissioners, supported by ARMA International, CODATA, Digital Preservation Coalition, Research Data Alliance, UNESCO Memory of the World and World Data System. The statement is built on three principles: Decisions must be documented; Records and data should be secured and preserved in all sectors; and The security, preservation, and access to digital content should be facilitated during the shutdown.
