Dear Friends, I mentioned here in the past that we are negotiating with the government the creation of an FOI commission/central unit.
I have a meeting this coming Monday with the person in charge of these discussions in the treasury. I have to convince them to allocate a significant budget (the current Justice Ministry proposal talks about $1million) and human resources (the current proposal is for 7 people at year 1 and 10 at year 2). For this I would be grateful for any data about the budget and composition of similar agencies in your country. Notice that we are talking about an FOI unit and not general Information comission/unit. So if you have an information commission in general (data protection), then it would be helpful if you have information on the specific budget of its FOI section. Thanks, Roy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
