Linda and Gary,
Just to let you know that there is a (.) between me and us and not a (/)
diagonal.
I hope this helps!
Michael

Hi Gary:

I have no idea why the links did not work.  Did you try to cut and paste
method?

Linda

What a timely post! I just sat in a meeting about our upcoming phone
system last week.

Linda -- I could not get either of your links to work. Any idea why?

Thanks,

Hi Nolene:

I have just done research on this new technology.  Below are two sites
that were helpful:

From the State of Maine, they went the non-record material route--What
about Voice Mail?

http://www.state.me/us/sos/arc/general/admin/email.htm#voice        

A journal article written by Paula K. Royalty, "When is a Phone call not
a phone call?  Legal issues arising from business use of VOIP". 

http://www.1ctjournal.washington.edu/Vol1/a001royality.html 

So far, we decided the non-essential record route for our policy of
deleting these messages at will.  If the message is an essential record,
then request senders to re-submit information as e-mail or written
communication.  This policy was reviewed by our legal counsel and
supports this method.

I hope this information helps you.

Linda

Subject: Voicemail to .wav redux

Back in 2002 there was a discussion here about phone systems that
converted all voicemails to .wav files and were those records. The
original post was regarding government and public records. The gist of
the thread seems to come down to the good ol' "it depends."
 
Our company is rolling out a new phone system that will convert every
voicemail to a .wav file and email it to the person who got the
voicemail. This system will be activated Monday at the corporate offices
and apparently has already been rolled out is some of our divisions. We
are a public company in 7 states.
 
The attorneys just found out about this today and are scrambling to come
up with some direction for employees about how to handle these emails.
The options go from turn off the option to full content-based retention.

In the 2002 thread, some states said that they specifically defined VM
as a non-record not subject to FOIA (Florida and Oregon were mentioned).
Has this held up? If that can be done for voicemail, why can't it be
done for email?
 
I'm interested in finding out how other public companies are handling
these VM to .WAV systems. It's all well and good to say these things are
records, but how are companies actually implementing such a policy? Or
are they going the "non-record" route?
