Dear information.rights,
Thank you for a swift reply to my question although it leaves me very puzzled. Why do POL encourage Mails segregation,( and have an entire department in the NFSP constantly explaining and promoting mails Seg,) if they receive no financial benefit for doing it? How does POL find the money to pay SPM's for mails seg? .Is it a carrot/stick relationship whereby RM agree a figure per year for Mails acceptance and that figure may be reduced if Mails Seg targets within that agreement are not met? Is that the case? If so what size have the financial penalties been since the targets were first introduced? . Would the Inter Business Agreement (MDA1) which was signed in 2012 help clear up the mystery?
Yours sincerely,
john o'sullivan
