<<We'd like to do use an electronic approval form where various levels of
management only forwards the form to the next level and subsequently us only
if they approve.>>

The problem I see with your proposal is that it would provide you with no
feedback if some manager disapproves of the destruction.  You would only
have a void of information, not knowing if the right managers received the
form, whether or not they considered it, and, if they decided not to approve
the destruction, what the reasons were.  You wouldn't know what the manager
wanted done with the records, nor how much longer they should be retained.
I'd suggest the form come back to you, regardless of whether they approve or
disapprove.
