Dear FOI-DPA PMCS (Sensitive),

The company was founded in 2004, the timeframe should not extend beyond this date.

Since this request is treated under the UK FOIA, I would like to discuss narrowing down the focus in such a way that it avoids costing too much or take too much staff time to deal with the request or in a way that it might be considered vexatious.

Narrowing down the timeframe from the year 2018 to today appears to be a reasonable course of action. I am open to suggestions in order to make this request as compatible as possible with the constraints imposed by the FOI Act of 2000.

Yours sincerely,

Mathias Schindler
