The Welsh Naming and Approvals Committee

17 May 2022

Dear

ATISN 16263

Thank you for your request which I received on 14 April 2022. You requested the following against a number of listed bodies: 

1. the number of meetings held in each calendar year from 2011 to 2021 (or from whenever the entity in question was created or established until 2021, if later); and

2. the cost in maintaining the same, again broken down by calendar year and over the same period.

In answer to your questions:

1. As shown on the WNAC organisation page, the committee met annually from 2015 - 2018. From 2018 onwards it approves or rejects domain name applications on an ad-hoc basis.

2. The duties required for this committee are carried out during staff members normal day to day work at no additional cost.

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:
