Abstract:

This report synthesizes the results of the MoSCoW prioritization exercise conducted by the APTrust Preservation Storage Criteria Task Force, with additional feedback gathered from members at the Fall 2025 Member Meeting. It provides a comprehensive, community-informed set of requirements for preservation storage that balances security, transparency, and trustworthiness with practicality, sustainability, and long-term scalability.

The feedback reaffirmed strong priorities around security, transparency, and resilience, while identifying secondary priorities in integration, documentation, and sustainability.
