Does anyone have knowledge of interpretations around the US Government v
Phillip Morris USA or other relevant legal issues related to Records
Management policy and practices.  I looked on the ARMA site and need
instructions on how to access the List archives.

We have developed a new RM policy with input and guidance from a Records
Management Consulting firm and a designated Company RM Oversight Committeee
that includes Records Management, Legal, Audit, Tax, CIO, Controller, etc.
All have approved the new policy except the CIO group.  They are posing
questions and concerns around ability to actually comply with the policy
once it is approved.  For example, here is one of the comments:  "concerned
that we are almost certain to have a medium level non-compliance...need to
ensure we are not creating a problem for ourselves... it would be worth
exploring interpretations eg are the issues that arose in the US Government
v Phillip Morris USA related to failure to comply with internal
processes/policies expandable outside this particular scenario?"

Thanks for the help.
