Hi everyone!  I haven't posted in a while, mostly a lurker 8 ), so I'll give you some information about me!  I've been in RM for 25 years, working with both private and public entities and have spent the last several years at Sprint as a Records Manager.

My questions are:

Is the retention of your Retention Schedule itself permanent?  If so, what is the basis for this retention:  business reason, regulation, best practice or something else?

Here at Sprint, and most of the other places I've worked, the retention of the Schedule itself is permanent.  But recently, I was asked why is the retention permanent.  I know the reasons why I think it's important to keep each version permanently, but couldn't come up with a definitive regulation, standard or best practice.   Not even Google (or Bing) came through for me.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
