I'm talking about an Intranet page, internal to the company. Some companies take that to extremes, and most of the access to company documents is through the Intranet pages.
There are probably as many file retention and naming conventions as there are blades of grass in your lawn.
I've never looked for standards, I've always evaluated the company's needs and formulated a policy. That's why I was talking about creating a
Strawman specification that you can distribute for comments and improvements. You don't have to take it onto yourself to do all the thinking, let some other people chip in. In addition, if the users have a hand in formulating the policies, they're a lot more likely to accept them when they are put in place.
