Mr. Reynolds:
Your below request was referred to me for response on behalf of the Oklahoma County Clerk's Office. Please confirm your receipt of this message.
In response to your request, please be advised that:

- Following our communications with you of several months ago or longer, the Oklahoma County Clerk's office ceased undertaking any and all efforts to put land records, title records, property conveyance, or liens on the Blockchain. The only public records we have which would be responsive to your request would be our e-mail threads between your firm and our office, which you already have, rendering your request moot;

- We have had no communications with any other vendors with regards to providing our office with Blockchain technology, and;

- One or more of our staff members have on occasion participated in a webinar presented by one of the associations to which we belong, the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA), those being part of that organization's ongoing efforts to keep its members abreast of current and emerging issues in our industry. Those webinars are copyrighted and not subject to the Oklahoma Open Records Act. We presume the information presented in those webinars could be made available to you by PRIA upon your becoming a registered member of said association, and would refer you to them for additional assistance.
Thank you for your inquiry and understanding.
Respectfully,
Douglas J. Enevoldsen
First Deputy
Oklahoma County Clerk's Office
On Jan. 17, 2019:
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
-Details on any efforts Oklahoma County is undertaking with regards to putting land records, title records, property conveyance, or liens on the Blockchain
-Details on any vendors that have approached the Oklahoma County Clerk's office with regards to providing the office with Blockchain infrastructure
-The pitch deck/marketing materials that vendors have submitted to the Oklahoma County Clerk's office with regards to providing Blockchain infrastructure for the digitization of land records, title records, property conveyance, or liens
- Details on any Blockchain training courses or seminars that staff from the Oklahoma County Clerk's office have participated in
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
