Complainant David Nickerson seeks categorical written confirmation from NSEB that confidential personal identifiers in M12972 will not be accessible to the general public in unredacted form
AI summary
- Nickerson filed correspondence on August 5, 2026, seeking clarification on an NSEB letter regarding public access to complaint documents, specifically questioning whether "others" who could view unredacted files at Board offices included any member of the general public or only authorized parties.
- The Board's Chief Clerk Lisa Wallace replied on August 6, 2026, confirming that redacted documents are publicly available online, that "they" refers to the documents, and that any non-party seeking unredacted versions would need to make a formal request to attend at Board offices — noting that no member of the public had ever done so in her experience.
- In a follow-up response the same day, Nickerson stated his decision to proceed with the complaint was premised on a Confidentiality Rule 12 decision protecting his mailing/civic address, NS Power account number, personal email, telephone number, and meter number from public disclosure.
- Nickerson requested categorical written confirmation that no non-party — including members of the general public attending at Board offices — would be permitted to access unredacted documents containing those confidential identifiers, and that he would receive advance notice if any such request were ever entertained.
- The complainant also noted an ongoing Billing Procedures issue: as of August 5, 2026, his latest NS Power bill had not posted online despite receiving a meter-read notification email on July 29 indicating it should have appeared.
