US Herk,
Document ownership is the elephant in the room. When we abolished our separate ministrys and several organisations lots of arcade documents that were extant lost, as a stroke, their sponsors. Of course initially this did not matter. The ship maintained a steady course and things evolved more or less as intended. You can imagine what happens next . . .
Many years later I, and my colleagues, were required to write two short entries, one for the public and one for a wider service customer, which would be produced as pamphlets.
I asked who would have ownership of the pamphlets - a lemon. I then acquired a copy of the pamphlets and was dismayed to see that 5 similar units had produced wildly differing entries and no one had edited them for conformity and uniformity. A few years later, after the inevitable changes, the pamphlets were still in their original form, orphaned and ignored.
