Dear All, This is just to say a big 'thank you' to everyone who has participated in the survey conducted by UMIST and Sibilo to ascertain the problems faced by information officers in servicing Subject Access Requests and those foreseen by the recent introduction of the FOI Act. However we need more responses urgently for a set of credible findings which will be released on February 23rd, to coincide with the Information Commissioner's vist to UMIST. We hope to have a presentation of the results just before the Information Commissioner's talk titled 'Developments in Data Protection and Freedom of Information'. A copy of a questionnaire can be downloaded from http://www.sibilo.co.uk/dl.asp?SIAMS_Survey.doc The questionnaires are much easier to use when first printed and filled manually. The address to which completed questionniares can be sent is: SIBILO Portland Chambers 131-132 Portland Street Manchester M1 4PY Alternatively, you can fax it to us at: 0161 228 0116 Any help will be appreciated. All respondents will receive a free copy of SIBILO's Data Smart software worth £145 and the opportunity to win a bottle of champagne. Thanks, Kind Regards, Ugo ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
