Hi Sunil, - I am obviously responding to the Notice u/s 11 (1) served to me by the PIO of this PA. Let the PIO decides whether such open disclosure of en masse data on members of this group is in larger public interest or not. - I cannot invoke exemption clause myself. It's the PIO's job. - Additionally whether to create a database and publicly share the same comes under PA's domain u/s 4. PIO can only share pre-existing data. PIO cannot create information. - Somewhere I also read that this group too encourages anonymous and pseudonymous membership. So much of the data available could be quite useless or redundant. - And what more information is necessary. Don't you think Name/email/telephone is enough. - Yahoo Group offers an online form and database creation option. The same can be used to collect, compile, share information about members (Voluntarily, of course)
N.B. If Atul wants to collect and compile a database then it's ok with me personally. I cannot say about other's though.
