I will chime in here.  Assuming the name signed on this post is "real" you
are neither a member of ARMA International (www.arma.org) or the Institute
of Certified Records Managers (www.icrm.org) as your name does not appear in
either membership database.

There are in fact codes by which many members of the RIM community abide by,
and that call on its community members, to at minimum bring to their
employer's or client's attention questionable RIM practices in some cases.

Subject: Re: [RM] Disposal Alternative

In part:

"As far as integrity goes, my obligation is to my employer, not some higher,
abstract, undefined, obscure ideal. I live, very much, in a real world.
There is no code of ethics that restict my doing this as long as it is
legal. I suppose my question to best records manager is not whether this is
legal (aside from Mr. Montana I don't think anyone on this list is qualified
weigh in) or ethical (nobody on this list can address that) but rather does
this constitute a new and possible disposal model or electronic records."
