> Subject: Call to all Senior Local Authority DP, FOI, Audit and
> Security Policy Professionals
>
> Dear Professional,
>
> First and foremost my heartfelt apologies for the generic style of this
> message.
>
> You are one of a core group of people we have identified on our research
> records as being a senior professional involved with Data Protection,
> Freedom of Information, Internal Audit, IT Security or otherwise involved
> in the 'softer' side of Information Security, governance and best
> practice.
>
> For over a decade now, Baptie & Co
> <https://www.baptie.com/home.asp?xyzzy=2> have organised the annual Net
> Focus forum for professionals such as yourself to come together in a
> closed, secure environment to debate best practice, to benchmark their
> existing policies and safeguards, and to look at the direction they need
> to be taking to stay ahead of the 'game'. A chance conversation at this
> year's Net Focus UK last month has led to the bones of a specific Working
> Group for the Local Government sector where members can debate the issues
> that effect them most, including more specialist issues such as FOI which
> are only really touched upon within the more general forum. The Working
> Groups will give members an opportunity to bring their own issues as well
> as expertise to the table, to get answers from a group of the most
> switched-on people in the profession, and to be seen as an important part
> of a body which produces leading white papers and sets the industry
> standard in it's field.
>
> Dr Michael J L Patrick, Strategic Development Manager, Somerset County
> Council has agreed to stand as the Founding Chair of the working group,
> and we hope to have the inaugural planning meeting early in the New Year.
> All relevant senior professionals within the field are warmly invited to
> join us, so please feel free to circulate this message to other you feel
> would both gain from joining, and be able to make a valuable contribution.
>
> About Michael:
> Qualifications
> PhD, MIBiol, MI Env Sci, MCIWEM, MIFM, MRSC, DipSM, MIIRSM, MIOSH,
> Dip2OSH, ARPS, Fellow Royal Microscopical Society
>
> Dr Patrick qualified in biology, analytical chemistry and applied
> environmental sciences, did his doctorate in the water industry, and spent
> many years in international consultancy. Over this period he also
> developed a strong interest in computing, doing graduate projects in
> simulation as well as starting a county club. More recently he has been
> employed in local government, initially in Health & Safety and Working
> Environment, and after several years working on facilities related
> application development was seconded for three years to introduce Somerset
> CC to Information Management(IM). He is now Strategic Information Manager
> with interests in IM, security, enterprise and related architectures,
> outsourcing and client-partner relations and ICT management. His leisure
> interests include photography and electronic music.
>
> What do I need to do?
>
> To be involved in the first meeting, you should drop me a short e-mail
> indicating your interest, we will register you in the Net Focus community
> and, as soon as a date is fixed, we will send you details, co-ordinates
> and passkeys to join. Whilst in the community, why not browse the library
> of pre-recorded webinars, library of white papers, etc.?
> There is no cost.
> The meeting is 'virtual' and can be accessed from your own desk, and will
> take an hour of your time.
