I"m looking to develop a document retention policy for our organization.  The main focus of this would be email retention.  I'm curious how long everyone retains emails is it months or years?  We work on some large projects that can last upward of 3+ years so a policy of retention for months doesn't seem feasible at all.  If anyone is willing to share a sample of their retention policy that woudl be greatly appreciated.

Brett Taft I'm curious Cesar are you doing that for electronic documents as well?  Areas of most concern is documents that are in individuals email accounts

brett,

 We piggy back the state statute of repose period.  7 years from completion of the project in our case.  Hope this helps.

I too would be interested in this policy as well as all other document retention policies.
