The policy title was updated to incorporate new technologies. Definitions were added. Principles were updated to reflect current guidelines and laws. Requirements for information and technology usage were added, including addressing access for non-employees, protecting the confidentiality of information resources and data, email usage and retention, use of cloud services, website usage and administration, network access, and remote access. • Updates were made by OGC to ensure the legal sufficiency of the policy, e.g., copyright law, ethics, and transmission of political material.
