69 Page three STAGE TWO : the National Plan . The Board next oversaw the creation of a national plan to address the problems identified in FILM PRESERVATION 1993. The process of arriving at this plan was unprecedented and historic in nature. For the first time, archivists, educators, filmmakers, technical specialists, and entertainment industry executives all came together to discuss, negotiate, occasionally to argue, but ultimately to find solutions to film preservation problems. More than thirty people directly participated as members of five task forces and committees, which met in person or by conference call more than twenty times over a period of six months. Through the task force and committee members, the discussions reached out to hundreds of others working in all the professions and disciplines mentioned above. The resulting plan, which was published in August of 1994 under the title REDEFINING FILM PRESERVATION, represents the consensus which emerged from this process. 1 think I am safe in saying that it is widely supported by all elements of the film community involved with preservation. The hallmark of the plan is the recognition that the preservation of America's film heritage requires a comprehensive, meaningful and ongoing partnership among public and non-profit archives, the film industry, the creative community, the educational community, other segments of the private sector, and the government.
