- Programs to develop a statewide or regional capacity to preserve email within existing repository infrastructures
- Specification planning processes for beginning-of-lifecycle email capture tools (i.e., those that capture at the time of sending or receiving)
- Testing mechanisms for data loss/transformation when moving email from one tool or environment to another
