Deidre,  Can you expand you definitions of "retention" and "records" 
programs a little because all the things I've seen are the oppsite. 
Retention management is simple time based  retention of 
records/information and more closely follows the what would be called 
"traditional" RIM, where Records mangement  greatly expands the criteria 
to including Authenticity,reliability,etc..  Records management would also 
involve the idea of cradle to grave life-cycle model  and management of 
the information/record through its entire cycle instead of just after it's 
declared a record.

My 2 cents
