Dear Mr Corbin

I am writing in response to your request of 11 August 2009 in which you
ask for information about involvement of the Office of the Scottish
Information Commissioner in a proposal by The National Archives to phase
out the OPSI brand and the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI). You
specified that you would like to receive the following types of
information, related to this issue, recorded for the period 1 July 2009 to
present:

1. A list of written documents (including emails) received by our office
from the National Archives
2. A list of written documents (including emails) sent by our office to
the National Archives
3. A list of scheduled meetings between the National Archives and our
office

The Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner does not hold any of
the information which you have requested - we have had no correspondence
on this issue, nor held any meetings with The National Archives or OPSI in
the period in question.

Although you specified that you were making the request under the Freedom
of Information Act 2000, I have responded to it in accordance with the
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) which applies to the
Scottish Information Commissioner. Under FOISA you have the right to ask
the Commissioner to review his decision about your request. If you wish to
do this, you should make your request for review to the Commissioner at
[1][Scottish Information Commissioner request email] or by post to the address at the foot
of this email, within 40 working days of receipt of this email. Your
request must be in a recordable format (letter, email, audio tape, etc).
Please say why you are dissatisfied with this response. It would be
helpful if you would include the following case reference in your request:
200901434. You will receive a full response to a request for review within
20 working days of receipt.

The Your Rights section of the Commissioner's website
[2]www.itspublicknowledge.info provides useful advice about using your
rights to access information. Our enquiries telephone service is available
Mondays to Fridays 9.00 am to 5.00 pm on 01334 464610.
