Unwittingly, I chatted about the practical implications of this question with a dear friend of mine earlier today
I have internalized a concept about Records Management and eDiscovery for several years, but it has been made evident to me from working on recent projects that this view of the world of RM is not universally shared. Because of the changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure some years back, Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is now discoverable in court cases, regardless of whether it is being treated as an official business record of the organization.

Especially since these are of a more "general" nature, you have to wonder what they will include that should be considered permanent which were not before. There are many reasons why a restructured GRS is needed and NARA outlines this in their proposal. One of the biggest ones which be of particular of interest to AIIM's ERM community is that the new GRS will have retentions that are applicable to electronic records, something which the current GRS lacks. I am only touching the surface here, but if you can access a PDF of the proposal here as well as read NARA's announcement here
I had the privilege of having a breakfast meeting with the previous Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the United States, Vivek Kundra, last year and it was refreshing to hear his ideas about how “Big Government” should take the “lean” methodologies and best practices approach from private industry as well as his ideas on how to cut out a lot of the “fat” and red tape
