   Jacquie,


   I held a meeting this morning with Keith Briffa, Tim Osborn and Phil Jones, to discuss a
   FOIA request which had come from one of the contributors to the climateaudit.org website.
   Dave Palmer, the University's FOIA expert, was also present. It was agreed that I would
   alert you to this for your information. (You may recall that I alerted you to a number of
   similar requests from another contributor to the website last year, involving Phil.)


   We have agreed a plan of action to deal with this request within the regulations. The
   request is unreasonable as it currently stands (it asks for all letters and emails between
   Keith and 19 individuals worldwide and 5 organisations over IPCC business). I will keep you
   posted on this as necessary.


   Best wishes


   Michael
