Recently, The Sedona Conference, a research and educational institute, published its 2016 Public Comment Version of The Sedona Conference Commentary on Proportionality in Electronic Discovery. This is the third version of this publication, which reflects the change and emphasis on proportionality under the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Commentary sets out six principles of proportionality guided by the Rules and case law.

Input to this public comment version is welcomed, and a subsequent final version will be published. Public comments may be made through January 31, 2017 to comments@sedonaconference.org.
