= CLOCKSS: Succession Plan

A Memorandum of Agreement, under which Stanford University Libraries and OCLC would act as successors to the CLOCKSS Archive, is in the final stages of review and negotiation. This is a short term approach to provide transition planning. The Memorandum of Agreement requires the Board, once it comes in to effect, to draw up specific Succession Guidelines. The timeframe is the 1st quarter of 2014.

One long-term approach under discussion is the creation of a Trustees Board comprised of national libraries and other members of the CLOCKSS's Designated Community. Discussions are underway with several interested parties. This Trustees Group would act as advisors to the Library Archive Node sites in the transition of the management and operation CLOCKSS's archive nodes and content to new stewards, or the shutdown of the network to provide maximum protection of the archive content. The objective is to keep content protected, and, possibly, available for its intended purposes. The ultimate restriction is to protect the content from unwanted and unwarranted release. The timeframe is 1st quarter 2015.

	The CLOCKSS Board formed a Trustee Committee, which is responsible for developing, maintaining, and implementing if necessary the Succession Plan. The Trustee Committee currently includes Stanford U., U. Alberta, U. Hong Kong, Institute of Physics Publishing, and Wolters Kluwer; the membership is on a 3-year rotation, with Stanford having a permanent seat. The Committee developed a Scenarios paper, to explore the events that could lead to the invocation of a succession plan. Having defined those scenarios, the Committee then adopted actions to be taken in case of the different events. The primary action is the formation of a 4-library network that would continue to preserve the existing CLOCKSS content by running four LOCKSS nodes; the four libraries are Stanford U., U. Alberta, U. Edinburgh, and Humboldt U. A legal agreement was signed jointly by CLOCKSS and the four nodes in mid-2018, and the Succession Plan Agreement was announced publicly in early November 2018.
