Hi everyone, so I had assumed I knew the answer to the following question until I did some research on it and found several different sources that contradicted each other.

The question - Is a Records Retention Schedule (RRS) a policy?  If so, how do the business users know how to apply the RRS (i.e., shouldn't a policy be able to stand on its own?)?

OR, is the RRS a corporate document that is governed by a RIM/Retention Policy?

OR, is the RRS a policy that is governed by a RIM/Retention Policy?

OR, is there some other terminology/system that define the nature of a RRS?

I have looked at multiple "authoritative" resources, and they all seem to differ in some manner.

Thanks for any input - this is more of a question of curiosity as to the experts' opinions on the Listserv at this point.
