There is a very active FOI list that you can access at the URL below: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/FREEDOM-OF-INFORMATION.html Please respond to [log in to unmask] Sent by: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] cc: Subject: Re: [data-protection] Pending Trays / FOI There is a list called [log in to unmask] but I've so far found activity to be very low. Rachel. -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of datap Sent: 25 January 2005 09:23 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [data-protection] Pending Trays / FOI Sorry this is not really on this subject, more picking up on something Ian said below - I have looked for an FOI list on the jiscmail website and was unable to find one (except for Wales and Northern Ireland). I accept I am probably being fuzzy-minded (it is Tuesday morning after all) but can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Tanya >>> Ian Welton <[log in to unmask]> 24/01/2005 16:44:00 >>> This would seem more of a question for the FOI list, but imagine there may be many valid ways; such as formulating a request for outstanding/pending information within a specified function(s) or asking for information received within a specified time period which may still be held within the physical in/pending trays of specified function(s). What do managers ask? The subject access rules would of course, post Durant, not seem to apply to some of the personal data held in that way, although I would stand to be corrected on that.
