The museum that I work at is  reviewing its deaccession policy.  We have a
requirement that after the  staff and trustee committees review and finalize
approval of deaccessions, the current policy requires a two year waiting
period before the items are AGAIN brought before the board to re-confirm the
deaccession.  This strikes me as excessive. Can anyone tell me of any similar
policy at another museum, and if so, what is the justification for it? Thank
you very much.
