[Talk-GB] Ofcom consultation - Royal Mail - PAF - OSMUK Response?

[Ken Kilfedder]

The Open Rights Group - ORG - they have lots of experience in responding to these sorts of consultation from an open data perspective, and they often give evidence to select committees, etc.   They responded to a previous PAF consultation (https://www.openrightsgroup.org/publications/response-to-royal-mail-paf-licensing-consultation/ ).    

Does anyone reading this have any contacts in that group, who might be able to run their eyes over the OSMUK response?   Assuming we're looking for an outside view.
