Thanks @smellems ! I'm going to hold off landing this for now, because we're looking at moving the Mandatory Procedures appendix soon ™️ . These changes should be made, but I don't want to go through the publishing folks twice |

@nschonni any news on this? It would be nice to have up to date links in the guides. |

I believe the changes are in line with the updated set of directives and standards from TBS.

| The Directive on Management of Information Technology states under [C.2.3.8.1](https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=15249§ion=procedure&p=C) and [D2.2.1.4.2](https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=15249§ion=procedure&p=D) that 'where possible', use open standards and open software first. As well the [Digital Standards state](https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/government-canada-digital-standards.html) 'Leverage open standards and embrace leading practices, including the use of open source software where appropriate'. | ||

The appendix A is now archived. I believe the reference should now be pointing to the Government of Canada Enterprise Architecture Framework?

I think we should remove the "Defining Where Appropriate and Where Possible" section. Its about using OSS, but then gives the example of why most source code can be share or made open.. And its out of date..

@nschonni I changed the links to the updated Directive and the EA Framework. Do you think the Guides on canada.ca can be updated? |

Replacing links to Directive on Management of Information Technology with the Directive on Service and Digital.
Can it be updated on the site?
