We are now addressing the distasteful task of sorting through the mountain of
files accumulated during the Conoco litigation. Kathy is taking the lead on
reviewing our document retention policies and advising Britt and I of what
she thinks we can destroy and what we need to keep. In some instances, the
appropriate approach is not entirely clear. Have you folks run across any
"document retention policy specialists" that she ought to talk to? We have a
fairly detailed policy applicable to "Interstate Law" (which I guess means
GPG law--the policy document is fairly old) but I'm less clear on what
authority or right Legal has to enforce the doc. retention policy as to other
groups. Rod Hayslett suggested during Conoco that it would be good if Legal
followed up now and then and made sure that pack rats were following the
policy. His comment arose from a little situation in which we were served
with requests for "3 year plans" and Rod was displeased to learn that some
folks had kept old plans from 10 years ago. He (and I suspect all of us)
would be happier if that didn't happen again. Any thoughts? Thanks. DF
