Our Legal Department has been tasked with spearheading the establishment
of records policy and the re-write of the current records manual, so
they are very much involved. At this time, my position and the
archivist position are part of a steering committee which also includes
IT, and we make recommendation to a committee run by three top positions
in the organization for their approval. The steering committee meets
regularly to address topics of concern. Before the Legal Department
created the Steering Committee, the records manager worked with a rep
from IT, a volunteer from National Archives, and a consulting company to
establish retention guidance based mainly on NARA's General Records
Schedule (GRS).

Subject: [RM] Determination of Retention Periods
Good morning from sunny/warm Phoenix - I want to get a feel from the
membership as to whom in your organization is/was responsible for
establishing, reviewing and approving records retention periods. The
answer may/should be obvious, but I have had some discussions recently
regarding a lack of Legal Department involvement in this process. If
you are willing to share this information, I would like to know the
stance and level of involvement/responsibility your Legal Department
takes in this matter.
Thanks
Blake E. Richardson, CRM
