Council Member Wilson asks whether DORIS assesses deleted substantive messages

Thank you.

So in relation to the signal activity, that's the topic of this hearing today, has Doris assessed whether substantive government messages were deleted before they could be preserved?

How do you assess that?

for any agency that may engage in signal activity?

Thank you for that question.

Doris does not monitor active communication channels within government employees, so we're not able to do that work.

But we do anticipate that each agency has received the training that they need to make those delineations on their own.

So there's, if the, if a user, if the impetus is on the user to decide whether a message is transitory or substantive, there is, there is training provided to those agencies so that their

staff can make that decision?

Thank you for the question.
