The FIS ER E-signature project was operational from June of 2008 through June of 2009. During the active period project collaboration was facilitated by this wiki space. As a final deliverable of the project, this wiki space has been re-oriented to provide guidance and structure to future e-signature initiatives. While the focus has been changed, most of the original content has been preserved under the assumption that the guidance and structure may be most useful when seen in the context of our project activities. In a few places the original documents have been edited to change present or future tense to past tense, or to annotate original deliberations with the benefit of hindsight. But mostly the original content has been left in place as it was drafted during the project, and, the refocusing for future relevance is primarily concerned with providing the roadmap, checklist and examples of deliverables sections.
This site is wiki contains the deliverables for this project. Rather than deliver a paper project completion report, completion is being marked by publication of this document on the wiki. However, this wiki is not necessarily static. It will be maintained under the assumption that each NMFS e-signature implementation must be individually vetted through the Agency's e-signatures policy (32-110) and procedural directive (32-110-01). This Ongoing maintenance of this site should make it possible for e-signature projects to leverage experience from other practitioners and jump-start a new e-signature initiative.
This e-signature project has satisfied its stated objectivessuccess criteria:
- We understand eSignature opportunities and challenges, preferably understanding these in more than one context (for example, in the context of an eLogbook, and in the context of a permit application)
We performed an e-signature due-diligence and documentation exercise as specified in the the Agency's e-signatures policy (32-110) and procedural directive (32-110-01) for five distinct e-signature pilot projects:
