Similarly, for the record, your previous correspondence dated 31 March 2008, 11 April 2008, and 8 May 2008 will be referred to hereafter as Appendix E2, Appendix E3, and Appendix E4 respectively.

For the avoidance of doubt, your “other” email dated 13 June 2008 will be expressly referred to as Appendix E(2+1)

Please advise by return if you should consider the above list of received correspondence sent in your name as JISC Head of Innovation to be uncomplete in any way, save for the present thread of our most recent exchanges of correspondence forwarded herewith commencing 7 July 2008 to be referred to hereafter as Appendix E 66+

At all events, hope this stratification helps clarify matters as circumstances continue to unfold inter alia by virtue of our WHiSPeRiNG GaLLeRY brokering new ground as we speak – as ever, all rights are reserved generally [...]

And/or do JISC staff no longer have access to JISC’s own designated complaints advisor? At any event, what has become of the role of the Head of Policy and Corporate Services and/or [...]?

It would be helpful if you could clarify the situation by return so that we may ascertain next best steps accordingly [...]
