The first part of the query will be answered in line with the answer given to other requesters for the agreements. In regards the second part, I will need some assistance as noted below 1. A copy of policies and procedures regarding employee responsibilities regarding entering into confidentiality agreements. Steve, do we have any contracting policy on this? Phil - anything with CRU on responsibilities regarding entering agreements on behalf of CRU? I don't think we wish to state that we don't have any policies or procedures in place, but I'm not sure what to actually put here... 2. A copy of policies and procedures regarding employee responsibilities regarding the preservation of written agreements. Ah, records management rears it's head....We have a general statement on our website regarding our responsibilities for RM but we do lack any overarching records retention schedule or policy - Phil, does CRU have anything in-house? 3. A copy of policies and procedures regarding employees entering into verbal agreements. See question 1; same issue here although more likely to have a `nil' response here - consequences of that? 4. A copy of instructions to staff regarding compliance with FOI requests. We have web guidance that can be referred to, and a brochure that I distribute that could go here.... and a statement regarding the training on offer Cheers, Dave ______________________________________________________________________________________ From: steven mosher [mailto:moshersteven@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 8:16 PM To: Palmer Dave Mr (LIB) Subject: FOI/EIR request Dear Mr. Palmer: Pursuant to the Environmental Information Regulations, I hereby request the following information in respect to any confidentiality agreements affecting CRUTEM station data involving station data in NIGERIA, NETHERLANDS, NORWAY, NEPAL,NAURU 1. the date of such agreement; 2. the parties to the agreement; 3. a copy of that part of the agreement that prevents further transmission of the data to non-academics or others 4. a copy of the entire agreement In addition, I hereby request the following information: 1.
