This is also important for providers who are submitting DRIPs who may require subsequent changes following a response from the CAC. Currently a provider submitting now that was "knocked back" for some or all of their DRIP would be technically in breach of their requirements come October 13th, even having completed a DRIP and John's requests would provide certainty around this.</div><div><br></div><div>You have the option to be a co-signatory to this letter if you wish. I believe one of the issues to date with Data Retention has been the inaction by large parts of our industry who have not actively and effectively engaged with government and so they have been able to "ignore" the small providers of the industry. Perhaps this is one way of drawing the government's attention to the "long tail of small providers".</div><div><br></div><div>This has been discussed on the isp-sig list, but if you would like to be a signatory on this letter please get in contact with John.</div><div><br></div><div>
