Muir Russell's panel have published the minutes of a prelaunch meeting from a month ago. It's not hugely exciting but a few points are worth making:
- They have two PR people on the team
- Boulton's history at UEA was discussed, but Philip Campbell didn't raise the subject of Nature's part in the back story
- "It was recognised that the questions were to be answered with respect to the standards and practices of the day".
- "It was noted that it had historically been difficult to secure funding for curation of data"
- "Muir agreed to approach the ICO in order to clarify where the review stood with respect to FOI"
- "William, Kate and Jim agreed to speak about how submissions and correspondence to the review should be filtered. A protocol for this should be prepared."
Does anyone else get a vague sense that solutions are being worked out?
(As an aside, I might point out that protecting the PDF file so that the contents can't be copied and pasted is rather irritating). [Update: I've got a work around for this now - thanks]
