From: "Rice, Andrew" To: Roger Clarke Subject: RE: Letter of Reply [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 03:35:19 +0000 UNCLASSIFIED Dear Roger Thank you for your letter of 29 November. Perhaps it is a question of terminology, but my offer of a "briefing" was a genuine offer to consult with you. As I noted in my letter, there is still an opportunity for the Australian Privacy Foundation to provide its views on privacy protections for the Document Verification Service (DVS). Should you reconsider, our offer still stands to meet with you to hear those views and we undertake to consider them in our planning for offering the existing DVS service to the private sector. This offer shows we have an intention to consult the Foundation (as a public interest advocacy organisation) and that we will take notice of what the Foundation might have to say on the matter.
