Re: [Wikimedia-l] Records Retention and Destruction Policy

Hi Andy,

Great to hear you are doing this work with Charity Navigator. Very cool! To 
answer your question about the Foundation’s 990, the policy you linked covers 
user data and does not apply to this specific 990 question. However, we do now 
have an internal policy. It was not finalized in time for periods covered by 
past 990s, but we will be reporting this policy in future filings.

Thank you for checking!
-greg

[Wikimedia-l] Records Retention and Destruction Policy

2018-02-20 Thread Andy Mabbett
I'm liaising with Charity Navigator, to import data about US charities
into Wikidata.

As an example, I've been looking at their page about the WMF

   https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary=11212

and note that their otherwise excellent rating of the foundation is
reduced by four points (the maximum is 100) due the apparent absence
of a Records Retention and Destruction Policy, "as reported by the
charity on its Form 990".

However,

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_retention_guidelines

suggests that this is an error. Is the policy really missing from the 990?
