The IMRM menu drop down on the EDRM web site has been blank for quite a while, and I am glad that you are stepping up to the plate and moving it forward!

Thought: Understanding Retention and Disposition are critical to IMRM, as legally reducing the amount of information exposed to discovery is the best way to reduce discovery's cost and intrusion. The IMRM should make clear that destroying records, data, information *according to legal requirements* is safe, and a key part of managing ED risk.

Question: Aren't there plenty of well established models for structuring and implementing RIM programs already? Are there too many? Can one of those be used?

Thought: It is very important to make the corporate policy and procedure creation / maintenance process an important part of IMRM, especially the enforcement part. As a sub-component of the EDRM, active policy management in RIM goes a long way in court to establishing "Good Faith", and provides a lot of bang for the litigatory buck. Policy training and enforcement also make it much easier for employees to know what they are supposed to be doing with information in its lifecycle.
