Dear all I am starting work on drafting a Corporate Electronic Records policy for my organisation. The intention is that this will be (hopefully!) approved by our chief officers' management board and will sit within an Information Management strategy. I've looked at the PRO guidance on producing a policy but would appreciate looking at ones that have already been completed. If you have, or a working on, an electronic records policy please contact me as it would be helpful to gain tips/suggestions on how to go about this. Additionally our IT section is currently updating our email policy and I've managed to get them to agree to me having a look at it before it is approved. Currently there is no records management element to the policy with the emphasis on deletion to free up mailbox space. Again if anyone has produced or been involved in an email policy I would be grateful for suggestions or the possibility of being able to look at such policies. Sorry to ask so many questions in one post! I will of course share comments with the list. Thanks in anticipation.
