The website is still under repair. A few weeks ago we embarked on a new mission: to make electronic recording a reality in Massachusetts. We've made some significant progress with our planning. To resolve many of the practical questions that arose when we first met with the potential users, we've decided to set up a test system within the registry. This will include a mock law office that we can use to record documents electronically using a test data base which will allow us to test the system and our procedures, all under the observation of potential users who visit the registry. Unfortunately, our enthusiasm for electronic recording has been tempered by the current problems with the website. The two must go hand-in-hand, so until we repair the website, fully investigate what happened, and put better preventive measures in place, we'll be moving slowly with electronic recording.
