UK P2P Consultation Response

The UK P2P consultation closed yesterday. I submitted mine 10 minutes after the deadline, which was to quote Mike Klym in response to a question from my longtime friend and co-worker Ben Jones, "One second to midnight tonight!"


Mine was a little after the deadline, Google records the time as 14 minutes after the hour when it was finally sent (some typos and formatting errors needed correcting last minute). In the email, I apologized for being a little late.

Luckily, they were a little flexible with it, which is unusual for a government department. At 8:25am (BST) this morning, Mike Klym sent me the following reply:
Andrew

We do allow for injury time!

mike
Which is good:-). He also commented to one of the members of the  UK Pirate Party this morning, congratulating them on being the last response in before the deadline. It seems Mike has a sense of humor. That's great! All I can say is that reading the consultation document, I was certainly not laughing.

So, my response. As always, produced in OpenOffice, and exported directly to pdf. You can download it here. The document, like the site, is under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
