To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Vermont Public Records Act, I am looking for official documentation regarding ACCD's relationship with Propy, a California-based real estate and "blockchain" startup.

Specifically, I am requesting:
1) Contracts, memoranda, or agreements with Propy.
2) Any policies on file regarding the use of the Propy system.
3) Technical or information technology documentation regarding Propy's land records system.
4) Any marketing or sales materials provided by Propy.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,
Brian Waters
Burlington, VT

Hi John,

Thanks for your help on the previous request. I'm just following up on this request for MOU/documentation relating to Propy, to make sure you received it from Secretary Schirling.

PS, Please respond to the @muckrock.com email address; I will be in receipt of your responses there. (MuckRock is a third-party FOIA tracking system that I prefer to use.) I'll make sure ACCD's contact email in the MuckRock system points to you.

Thanks,
Brian Waters

Hi John,

Thanks for helping me with the ACCD emails regarding Propy a few weeks ago. I hope that you received the check I placed in the mail.

I wanted to make sure you've been in receipt of my other request (attached below), regarding any MOU, documentation, etc. concerning Propy.

Can you confirm whether you've received the request, and whether such records exist at ACCD?

Thank you,
Brian Waters

Thank you for mailing your check for the production of records. Sorry I didn't confirm.

I have recirculated your request to be sure we didn't miss any records when searching the terms we narrowed the request down to. I suspect we found all of the records searching those terms, as there appears to have been minimal involvement by staff here. But to be sure, I have polled everyone again. I should have their replies in short order and be able to advise you.

Great, thanks John. A point of clarification: my second request was for
1) Contracts, memoranda, or agreements with Propy.
2) Any policies on file regarding the use of the Propy system.
3) Technical or information technology documentation regarding Propy's land records system.
4) Any marketing or sales materials provided by Propy.
so, basically, any official or unofficial documents regarding Propy that ACCD might have on hand. I found your response to my earlier request (for emails) quite helpful, and I'm not necessarily looking for more of those, especially if there are fees.

Thanks for your help,
BW

I have received replies from everyone in ACCD potentially having any records responsive to your request reasserted in the email you sent at the beginning of this week and there are no records. As you would expect, there is no charge for this follow up search, as it was achieved in short order through electronic means.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to get back to me.
