News from the Information Authority - 24 February 2010

The Change process for the 2011/12 ILR is now underway. For 2011/12 the information authority has reviewed the process and a new criteria and change request form have been developed. These documents are now available to download from the information authority‘s website. The 2011/12 process will also see the introduction of a stakeholder panel before requests go up for consultation.

Any requests for change will need to be submitted on the new "Request for Change" form between now and 18 June 2010. Later this year, providers and stakeholders will be encouraged to share their comments on the proposed changes, and more information on this process will be communicated through future editions of Inform, feconnect and the information authority‘s website.

Paul Kelman, Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the information authority commented "If you are considering submitting a request for change to the 2011/12 ILR please engage with us as early as possible as we are keen to hear ways of reducing complexity."

Further information on the Change Request process, including the full timetable for developing and publishing the 2011/12 ILR specification can be found on the information authority‘s website.
