How about a third alternative: Retain only until they've been
transcribed, or until the minutes become official (if approved by
attendees, the board of directors, or other reviewing body).

Subject: [RM] Retention of conference call voice recordings

Greetings:

I've just been asked by our IT and Corporate Information Security
departments to find out what folks are doing with recordings of
conference call meetings.  So far, in our organization, these recordings
are used by the meeting chair (owner), secretary or scribe after the
meeting to ensure they have captured everything in their meeting
minutes, action items, etc. 
The meeting minutes document is considered the official record.

There are two approaches being considered 1) keep them indefinitely (not
my first choice), or 2) set an arbitrary deadline of lets say 60 days
and then destroy with confirmation from the "owner".

I've read through a number of RECMGMT listserv threads and ARMA
publications but their focus seems to be "Voice mail".

Thanks,
