Dear Phil Mocek,
This communication is in response to your public disclosure request C050653-111319 received on November 13, 2019.
The purpose of this email is to provide a status update regarding your request. Seattle IT needs additional time to respond to your request due to backlog of records requests and reductions in staff . At this time, the Department anticipates that it will be able to provide the requested records or a first installment of records on or about  August 31, 2020.
Sincerely,
Information Technology Department

Dear Sir or Madam:

This request, placed nine months ago, is going to take mere seconds for someone to complete: Log in to LISTSERVE administrative interface, select mailing list, list users, copy, paste, send. This is a matter of public interest, as evidenced by the news reporting on it that I referenced with my request. Your delay strongly implies desire to keep the public in the dark about this matter.

Please consider taking the five minutes or so likely needed to complete retrieval and communication of the record and related accounting, without further delay.

Cordially,
Phil Mocek

Dear Sir or Madam:

Would you please tell me who is assigned to this request, and approximately how much time is spent working on it on a weekly basis? As I wrote to you on August 25, 2020, I believe that it should take mere seconds to retrieve the record, paste it into an e-mail message to me, and send it. More than 10 months have passed since I placed the request. It appears that you are intentionally delaying its processing.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Would you please tell me who is assigned to this request, and approximately how much time is spent working on it on a weekly basis? As I wrote to you on August 25, 2020, then again on October 7, I believe that it should take mere seconds to retrieve the record, paste it into an e-mail message to me, and send it. I have received no responses to those previous requests for information about processing of my request.

Almost one year has passed since I placed the request. It appears that you are intentionally delaying its processing. I fear that data loss is at risk as time passes, and hope that you are not relying on such as a method of keeping the public in the dark about who uses this list, which as a reminder, the reporter in the article I cited with my initial request characterized as a "Secret Facial Recognition Group."
