> 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?
