Add Keele to the list !

I've heard that one Uni is refusing to comply on the grounds of 
commercial sensitivity but other universities are gathering information 
to respond.
Some are awaiting clarification on whether it would be possible to 
submit copies of contractual documentation rather than emails and 
correspondence on all the operational issues involved in the design and 
construction of websites.

Best,
Chris
