Anyone looking at the impact of the FOI in relation to the impacts on the private sector ie where a public authority may have entered into contracts with private sector.
Such contracts could be substantial ie an Insurer entering into an agreement to provide insurance cover for a public authority.
The timing of an announcement of such a contract may need to be made within Stock Exchange rules.
What stops an FOI request by an individual in discovering the information prior to the announcement?
Such information flow possibilities are a security concern in private sector
Be interested in any feedback from anyone who has looked into potential security conflicts in this area.
Are there any other JISCMAIL groups specifically discussing Information Security or FOI?
