Very close.  But what is fed is not a "policy" but an nsr time.  So you
could give an explicit date or a relative time.

In your example, 'year' will not be interpreted as a policy, but as the
time represented by "one year from now".

You could replace "year" with "two years", and it would be interpreted
as "two years from now".

Give it a try and examine the retention:
# mminfo -av -q 'ssid=<ssid>' -r 'ssbrowse,ssretent'

With modern versions of networker, I belive that is correct.
