Framework for the Management of Information
Information Management Resource Centre
Quick Reference Cards on how to manage e-mail messages are now available as part of the Management of Information Guide for Office Activities. An interdepartmental working group developed this draft e-mail guidance. Various Treasury Board Secretariat policy centres have provided feedback and legal opinion is now being sought.  The questions and answers are generic, a quick "rule of thumb". Institutions may need to modify answers for their own specific situations. As this is an evolving guidance, we are seeking your feedback and additional Q's &A's that are non-institutional specific.

Treasury Board Secretariat
On April 3, 2002, Treasury Board Ministers approved the MGI Policy that came into effect on May 1, 2003.  Over the coming months, Treasury Board Secretariat will work with departments and agencies to identify specific Information Management (IM) gaps, determine the resources required to bridge them, and target priority areas where collaborative efforts, tools, and guidance are most urgently needed.  This analysis will be used to develop a multi-year, staged approach to the implementation of the MGI policy that builds on the work underway within departments and central agencies.  We will return to TIMS, TBSAC, and TB Ministers with a proposal for phased implementation.
