nestor endorsement of TRUST Principles

Nestor - the German-speaking competence network for digital preservation - welcomes the TRUST principles as outlined in the white paper (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-020-0486-7) and joins the call for endorsement by the Research Data Alliance (https://www.rd-alliance.org/rda-community-effort-trust-principles-digital-repositories).

nestor clearly sees the need for further development of the principles as they move into practise. As part of this, an ad-hoc WG TRUST discussed the principled and has released the statement "nestor endorsement of TRUST Principles".
