Operation of The DLM Forum
Any person or organisation can apply to join the DLM Forum; membership is subject to payment of an annual fee. In 2008 there about 60 members, including national archives, consultancies, academic institutions, records management software vendors and end-user organisations.
Until 2010, the legal entity of the DLM Forum was the DLM Network EEIG. In early 2010, the DLM Forum formed the DLM Forum Foundation, a limited company registered in England and Wales, to replace the EEIG as its legal entity.
The DLM Forum is governed by its Executive Committee, which consists of 7 to 9 elected members. The current chair of the DLM Forum Executive Committee is Toivo Jullinen, National Archives of Estonia. The DLM Forum established in 2008 a MoReq Governance Board for the maintenance and control of the MoReq2 standard and certification process.
The DLM Forum usually holds member meetings twice a year; generally these meetings are held in the country then holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. It also organises a major conference every three years; these conferences generally attract about 300 to 400 delegates from Europe and elsewhere. Recent conferences have been held in Barcelona (Spain), 2002, Budapest (Hungary), 2005, Toulouse (France), 2008 and Brussels (Belgium), 2011.
Numerous papers such as the constitution, presentations from conferences and member meetings, tranlsations and products are published on the DLM Forum website.
