Subject: Official Information request - Use of Personal Facebook accounts
for making Council Annoucements
Dear Porirua City Council,

On 25 November, the mayor said " David Christensen noted it is not
normally how PCC post I will discuss with Wendy." This was made in the
context of Kris Dando, posting PCC messages using his personal facebook
accounts. For your reference the comments that where immediately prior to
this where;

*Andrew Frazer* Kris Dando, could PCC start posting as PCC, and not have
its staff post using their personal facebook accounts.
As a information consumer it becomes very difficult for people to tell if
the post is bonafide. You can subscribe a page to other groups and post
that way. You'd get much higher brand recognition and much less
confusion."

* David Christensen* Agreed Andrew Frazer. Kris Dando please pass this on
to whoever your boss is and I'll talk about it to Anita Baker when I see
her. This is very poor PCC message protocol"

(1) Is the mayor aware that for several years, personal accounts have been
used by PCC staff for distributing council messages to community pages?

(2) A formal complaint about this was made, but the response was that this
was how PCC had decided to do things, because people preferred it. Why
does the Mayor think that Kris Dandos message is 'not normal' ? When this
is the normal behaviour for PCC.

(3) Andrew Strugnel claimed people had communicated to PCC that they
perfered to communicate with him, rather than PCC. Please provide copies
of these communications.

(4) Does PCC consider that using personal accounts for distributing
council messaging to be acceptable? Does PCC agree that using personal
accounts may lead to confusion of who is providing the message, and the
validity of those messages? Does using a personal facebook account for the
delivery of a council message breech the councils Acceptable Use Policys,
or any other Staff policy?

(5) Does PCC consider there might be a better way to use Facebook

(6) Is PCC aware that a facebook page ( such as PCC's page ) can join
other groups and share/post as that pages profile?
