In response to Chris' email I would also like to be kept in the loop as this would be an excellent idea, providing we can adopt it in reality. Your comments on or off list would be gratefully received by me. Kind regards Trish Bailey Records & Standards Officer e-Business Team Community Governance Portfolio Borough of Telford & Wrekin mailto: [log in to unmask] tel: (01952) 203017 fax: (01952) 201053 www.telford.gov.uk ________________________________ From: Campbell, Chris (CCM) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 23 July 2004 11:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: default retention requirements I am reviewing retention management in the British Council and am considering simplifying things. I am proposing a default of something like 2 or 3 years for everything except clear exceptions (contracts/legal/h&S/personnel/known historical classes etc). The aim is to simplify things for the users - who are strangely reluctant to embrace the subject of records and archives management to the level that myself and the users of this list have :-) Has anyone considered the same? What is the minimum number of retention rules one can safely impose?
