1. The Commission has taken note of the media reports regarding an exercise being conducted by Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF) to evaluate the performance of the Information Commissions and Information Commissioners. It is also learnt that the said organization has plans to award certain Commissioners on the basis of certain evaluation parameters. That being so, there appears to have been a concerted effort to denigrate the performance of many Commissions and Commissioners, including the Central Information Commissioners, on the basis of an unscientific and untested methodology. 2. The Commission has also taken note of the critical analysis of the above exercise made by Prof. M. M. Ansari, Central Information Commissioner, as well as members of the public, wherein the flawed nature of this exercise has been highlighted. The Commission has on the other hand appreciated the comprehensive and scientific study of the functioning of the RTI regime until 2008 by the NCPRI & RaaG. 3. The Central Information Commission always welcomes critical evaluation that is bonafide, scientific and objective. The PCRF exercise is however, suspect. === RTIwanted
