Data Licence Information
November 2008 - Working for a better licence
Allies Computing listens carefully to feedback from customers about the PAF® data licence and takes the main issues forward at every opportunity with Royal Mail. The issues we feel strongly about are:
- Allowing Per Click licences for internal use.
- Better multi application and multi company licencing.
- Promoting wider use.
- Improving options at entry level.
- Making the licence fair, simple and clear.
We are responding at every opportunity to encourage changes to the PAF® licence through:
- Meetings with the Royal Mail Address Management Unit.
- Consultation processes.
- Providing supporting evidence.
- Membership of the PAF® Advisory Board www.pafboard.org.uk who meet bi-monthly.
Royal Mail's consultation process on the 2009 PAF® licence is due to open on 4th November 2008. To keep updated, you can refer to the Advisory Board's website linked above and we will update our website with any confirmed news as soon as we have any.
We are representing our customers' needs in licence discussions with Royal Mail through our participation on the PAF® Advisory Board. For copies of the notes and to keep track of progress, see www.pafboard.org.uk.
