WIKIHome Office Technical Advisory Board
The (Home Office) Technical Advisory Board was set up[1] in May 2002 under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to check that data retention requirements for ISPs are workable.
- The Board must be consulted before the Secretary of State makes an order under section 12(1) of the Act, imposing obligations on persons who are providing public postal services or public telecommunications services, or who are proposing to do so. The Board also has functions under section 12(6) of the Act, relating to the consideration of notices issued to service providers under section 12(2), the effect of which is to trigger the imposition of the obligations provided for in the section 12(1) order.
The board's members from the telecommunications industry[2] currently represent O2, BT, Sky, Cable and Wireless, Vodafone, and Virgin Media.
