[cma-l] Officialdom

[Ian Hickling]

Maybe we should formally ask to be shown the procedure - as it has a very direct effect on Applicants' businesses?

It would be interesting to hear a summary of people’s experience on this as there is no published process.As we all know, the list of applicants is first published followed, a few days later, by the application documents (once the confidential sections have been redacted).  We understand the application is broken into various sections and 'farmed out’ to specialists in each area. We can’t identify any discernible order that Ofcom use for prioritising which applications to look at from a region. If Ofcom has a query regarding anything in your application they will invariably email you.  Our experience is that their questions are not worded particularly well (this could be intentional).  So be careful how you answer them - don’t offer more that they are asking or you could dig yourself into a hole!In short, that’s our experience on behalf of our clients.  Anyone else?

Can anyone provide me with some information on how those OFCOM process community licence applications they've received... or is subject to the Official Secrets Act (shoot me now!) 
Just spoke to and 'representative' and boy do they know how to 'answer' probing questions without 'answering' probing questions. 


Why am I asking this? Oh just curious!
