I think if the repository is used by a U.S. company, then the records must be produced during litigation if they exist - whether the repository is offshore or not.

Subject: [RM] Disposal Alternative

It is my undertanding that there are currenlty two valid disposal alternatives for records. The first is documented destruction and the second is sending records to the archives.

Hypothetically, there is now a third method. Dispose of records to a repository outside US jurisdiction. Electronic records, created, used and maintained outside the US,can be disposed of by transferring records into a storage server that is not subject to US authority. The records could be maintained and even used as long as they are never moved within the US jurisdiction.
