Gordy,
I would define the term in policy. Per Merriam-Webster...
Definition of DISPOSITION
1 : the act or the power of disposing
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disposing> or the state of
being disposed <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disposed> : as
a : administration
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/administration> , control
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/control> b : final
arrangement : settlement
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/settlement> <the disposition
of the case> c (1) : transfer to the care or possession of another (2) :
the power of such transferal d : orderly arrangement (see 1dispose
<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dispose%5b1%5d> )
Definition of DISPOSE
intransitive verb
1
: to settle a matter finally
2
obsolete : to come to terms
- dis*pos*er noun
- dispose of
1
: to place, distribute, or arrange especially in an orderly way
2
a : to transfer to the control of another <disposing of personal
property to a total stranger>
b (1) : to get rid of <how to dispose of toxic waste> (2) : to deal with

I use "disposition" to cover any arrangement or transfer during or after
active use up to and including disposal i.e. destruction.
