Here is my take on the programme, but the titles are very approximate or
nonexistent. Peter, can you please give us more accurate titles.

Lecture Theatre for the meeting.

After discussion with Alison and my colleagues involved in the
disclosure review.we are currently working with a date of 9 January.
However Alison has still to confirm with HSUG colleagues that this is
OK. Can you pencil in the date in the RSS room bookings for the moment
and she will get back to you to confirm.
In drawing up the programme, we are assuming a 2pm start and a 5 pm
finish.
Does this timing clash with any morning, lunchtime or evening meetingsin
the lecture theatre?
I have given Alison a list of suggested speakers and timings. We will
finalise these in time to get something to you this week for RSS NEWS, .

Dear all,
Hope you are enjoying your dinner. I am about to go home and play music
in a pub as usual. I will get back to you about all this and contact
other HSUG committee members, but probably not before Monday.

Subject: RE: meeting on disclosure control
Dear All
Just so there is absolute clarity on this issue.
Peter Goldblatt rang me yesterday and asked me whether the Society
could organise a meeting on disclosure control with respect to
health
stats to coincide with an imminent ONS consultation on the
subject.
I spoke to Paul Gentry and we discussed which section/ group
within
the Society might be asked to champion this. It seemed relevant to
both the Official Statistics Sections and the Health Stats User
Group. Looking down the membership of the OSS Committee, we noted
Alison's name. She seemed to us an ideal person to ask to organise
the meeting since she also has (we believe) links into the HSUG.
Paul
was left to contact Alison and I rang Peter to say what I had
agreed
with Paul. From Alison's email, I assume that Peter then rang
Alison
direct.
We are therefore hoping that Alison will be responsible for
organising the meeting with help from Peter in identifying
speakers
and discussants, from Jonelle in rooms and catering, and from Paul
in
marketing and advertising. As far as I know, HSUG has not yet been
approached, and if Alison could do that, that would be helpful;l.
Could Alison also get sanction from the chairs of OSS and HSUG for
this to be a joint meeting.
With respect to costs, RSS will provide the room and refreshments
(tea/ coffee). I asked Peter whether ONS could meet speaker
expenses
and he was sympathetic to this, without obviously signing a blank
cheque. Perhaps this aspect could be reviewed when the slate of
speakers and discussants is in place.
I hope the above works! The Society does want to be flexible in
responding to needs for timely meetings and this seems to be
exactly
the sort of process which is required. But the main load will fall
upon Alison and part of the reason for this clarification email is
to
make sure that she knows what we think she is taking on!
Best wishes
Ivor

Subject: RE: HSUG meetings
I did this in response to a phone call from Peter Goldblatt, who
said
he had already talked to Ivor who was going to talk to Paul. Peter
talked to me as I presume he tried to get Deana who was probably
out
of the country and I emailed Andrew as user group person. So there
is
only one meeting.

HSUG

Goldblatt is actually already being taken care of?

following

Dear Andrew,
The subject of the meeting has now changed. It is now on
disclosure control and Feb 9 would be the latest possible
date.
Peter Goldblatt has already talked to Ivor about this. Can
you
please tell me afternoons and evenings from Jan 9 to Feb 9
which might be possible. We are still interested in Feb 9 as
now the latest possible date.
