From: Keith

15 May 2009

Dear Andrew,

With regards to submitting my family name:

The ICO guidelines (and they are only guidelines) quite clearly
state that:

"Although one of the underlying principles of the FOIA is that the
identity of the
applicant is not taken into account, it can be relevant in certain
circumstances.
For example, when:

• a request is being made by the applicant for his/her own personal
data
and so would be exempt under section 40(1) of the FOIA (and would
comprise a subject access request under the Data Protection Act
1998);
• a public authority has good reason to believe a requester is
using a
pseudonym to shield his/her identity in order to avoid the
possibility of
the request being considered as vexatious or repeated; or
• determining whether to aggregate costs for two or more requests
in
accordance with the Fees Regulations. "

The guidelines are quite clear in stating that the identity of the
applicant is not necessary unless certain circumstances dictate
otherwise.

None of the above examples apply to me nor my right to request
information.

Noun: pseudonym
1. A fictitious name used when the person performs a particular
social role
[WordWeb.info]

I publicly swear that my given name IS Keith and that is the truth.

This request is sent via the public website:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com and it is good practice not to
publish full personal details on the internet for obvious reasons.

I have used this website and received information on numerous
occasions without the need to submit my family name. My family name
has no relevance to my request nor your obligation to comply with
my request.

I am not aware of any special circumstances that apply to my
request requiring my family name, so therefore reject your
statement that implies that there is and conclude that there has
been a misinterpretation of the ICO's interpenetration of the FOIA
by someone in your office (an honest mistake).

However, if you insist on implying with absolute authority that you
can only process my request on receipt of my family name, I will
take that as an obstruction of my right to public authority
information and will act accordingly.

I hope this information satisfies you and that the "common sense"
approach is used, as recommended by the ICO.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Keith

A Beaumont
