Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you please detail, for each year since your public website was
launched, how much money has been spent on creating, developing,
and running it.

Where possible, please break these costs out by function (for
example, development, design, updates, changes, hosting,
co-location, domain registration, licensing etc). Where the costs
have been incurred with external providers, please list the company
in question. For internal staff time, if this is not recorded
and/or charged explicitly, please provide estimates based on
salary/overheads of people involved.

Yours faithfully,

Nick

One small folllow-up: There are no dates listed with the Domain

that same price each year?

Thank you,

Hi Elaine,

Thank you for this clarification. However I am confused by your
statement that the domain registrations are one-off costs, as
domains expire after one year. For the most recent I assume you
simply mean that you have only so far paid one year's fees as the
domains are newly registrated, but for the domain registered in
2003 am I to assume that the further fees for this are rolled in
with some other charge?

Yours,

Nick
