Dear colleagues,
I have been asked by someone in Turkey whether he can mirror on
his local (public) Web site the messages sent to a jiscmail list
that I own, so that the students and staff at his academic
institution can follow the list without clogging up his limited
bandwidth by all being subscribed individually. It all sounds
very worthy etc, but...!
His argument is that as there is already an archive accessible
world-wide from the jiscmail.ac.uk Web site, there aren't really
any further DP considerations. I'm not happy with that argument.
At the very least I feel I would have to inform the list members
that personal data (name and e-mail address at least) of
contributors would be being stored and displayed via a Web site
in Turkey as well as the UK, although how would I deal with it if
someone objected? What other issues should be considered here?
On one level I realise that this is all rather petty stuff, and for
all I know, this sort of thing is going on all over the place, but
as the list owner in this case, I would like to try to do the
right thing!
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Adrian
