Alaveteli's request statuses
This page has been superseded: it's now here: http://alaveteli.org/docs/running/states/
(eventually these pages will be removed)
MuckRock statuses, below, are not in the core Alaveteli docs:
US FOI site MuckRock.com uses the following states:
Draft Unfinished request
Processing The MuckRock team are currently reviewing the request to decide what to do with it.
This is necessary because a lot of requests have to be mailed or faxed or have signatures, etc. The system requires quite a lot of manual intervention. Over time the plan is to automate more, but this state will still be required at a minimum to indicate that MuckRock is the holdup, not the requester or the agency.
Awaiting Response Request sent, no reply received yet
Fix Required If the authority or a MuckRock admin thinks that user needs to clarify or otherwise "fix" the request
Payment Required In the US, an authority can ask a user to make a payment to cover the costs of the request
Rejected Request rejected
