Memorandum of Understanding with​ channelisles.net domain registry (FOI)

Request

Please supply the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with the Government of Jersey (and the other three Insular Authorities) between channelisles.net the domain registry for the Channel Islands. As I believe the registrar has made a data breach by releasing my personal information to the Government of Jersey without my permission and without contacting me first.

Response

In 2001 channelisles.net came to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the following parties:

•  States of Jersey

• States of Guernsey

• States of Alderney

• Chief Pleas of Sark

• GFSC

• JFSC

We are, at this time, unable to locate the copy of the MoU from 2001.

Article 10 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2010 has been applied.
