The mid-year meeting of EDRM – the inventors of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model and the leading standards organisation for the eDiscovery market – is holding its mid-year meeting in St Paul, Minnesota from 9 to 11 October. The meeting is sponsored by Relativity and NightOwl Discovery amongst others.

There are further details and a tentative agenda here and those interested in taking part in achieving and revising the goals of the EDRM projects might like to take this opportunity to sign up and attend.

EDRM has also published what it calls the Privacy Risk Reduction Model, a process for reducing the volume of private, protected and risky data as part of the information management, identification, preservation and collection phases of the EDRM.

This will be of interest to anyone concerned with a collection of data which may include private, privileged or proprietary information.
