Dear Portfolio Committee on Communications,

I wish to enquire regarding the status of the Draft National Data and Cloud Policy. It is now more than a year without any formal communication being issued, after submissions were submitted.

As an interested member of the public, would you please be able to advise on: (i) the status of the policy; (ii) what the next steps are; and (iii) why there has been no communication published.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Reinhardt Biermann
