Joint report of the Town Clerk and Chamberlain.

Members considered a Joint Report of the Town Clerk and Chamberlain regarding the Sub Committee’s Work Programme for 2017, and the following points were made.

·         The IT Director noted that the Right to be Forgotten would come into effect from May 2018, and so would feature as an item at a future meeting of the Sub Committee.

·         The Telephone Maintenance Contract had been awarded and so would not be referred to the Sub Committee in July 2017.

·         In response to a question, the IT Director replied that the General Data Protection briefing due in July 2017 was to ensure that all Members of the Sub Committee were familiar with the issues involved in data protection.

·         In response to a request from a Member, the IT Director agreed that future iteration of the Work Programme should be explicitly linked to corporate and departmental strategies.

·         A Member noted she would be attending the International Conference of Data Protection & Privacy Commissioners in July 2017 and would provide a conference update to colleagues at the Sub Committee’s next meeting.
