Dear Colleagues, Attached you will find a document that a member of the finance team will be discussing during our session starting in a few minutes. In addition, you'll be hearing an update about ongoing discussions between registrar and PSWG members of the IRT related to the draft LEA disclosure framework specification. This language was discussed informally among a smaller group this afternoon. Registrar and PSWG members of the IRT appear to be nearing agreement on a proposal for presentation to the IRT that would include a 24-hour time frame for provider responses to high priority LEA requests, with some additional requirements for documentation demonstrating that the request is high priority. The updated draft language for Section 4.1.2 for further discussion (deletions shown as strikeouts, additions in blue) is currently: * "Where a disclosure request has been categorized as High Priority, this must be actioned responded to within 24 hours, in accordance with Section 4.2. The LEA Requester will detail the threat type and justification for a request with a Priority Level of High Priority." In addition, staff was asked to provide suggestions for additional details that can be specified about what goes into a High Priority requests. Staff has proposed the following as a starting point. * "For High Priority requests, in addition to the requirements specified in Section 2.1.*, LEA Requesters should provide specific information demonstrating that the request is necessary due to an imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure or child exploitation". (Note: Section 2.1 is the section that lists all the details currently needed for a request.) We will be discussing these during the session and soliciting further feedback on the list afterward.
