INTRODUCTION In accordance with 39 U.S.C. §§ 3652(f)(2) and 504(g)(3) and 39 C.F.R. § 3007.103(c), the Commission has determined the appropriate degree of confidentiality to accord to Library Reference PRC–LR–ACR2018–NP3. Library Reference PRC–LR– ACR2018–NP3 contains the Commission analysis of Inbound Letter Post1 data, which 1 The term “Inbound Letter Post” refers to the product offered by the Postal Service. See Postal Regulatory Commission, Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) (posted March 31, 2019), § 1130, available at http://www.prc.gov/mail-classification-schedule. This Postal Service product is a subset of a broader category of mailpieces referred to as “UPU letter post.” See Universal Postal Convention, Article 17 (adopted by the 2016 Universal Postal Union Congress), available at http://www.upu.int/uploads/tx_sbdownloader/actsActsOfThe26ThCongressIstanbul2016En.pdf (UPU Convention).

Accordingly, the term “UPU letter post” refers to several Postal Service products, in addition to Inbound Letter Post. Docket No. ACR2018 - 2 - Order No. 5151 were filed by the Postal Service under seal.2 For the reasons discussed below, the Commission determines that it is not appropriate to accord non-public treatment to the data and analysis appearing in Library Reference PRC–LR–ACR2018–NP3 and that these materials should be unsealed. II. BACKGROUND A.

Hundreds of workers employed to tackle the Christmas rush have suffered after payroll problems delayed their wages. The firm insists it has managed to pay most of its seasonal workers but staff, some of whom say they are owed hundreds of pounds, say they were stunned to find their accounts credited with just a penny. The mix-up has affected staff at sorting offices in Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Stafford. Royal Mail has apologised but said the "vast majority" of those issued 1p had been overpaid previously and it was a nominal fee to complete a transaction.

With wider economic pressures bearing down on the overall ad market, digital ad spend is still seeing healthy growth: it will account for slightly more than one-fifth of all ad spend, but more than half of all growth, as advertisers become more confident in digital media metrics, and the ad industry gets more sophisticated in what it offers to brands and publishers in the name of digital advertising—which will remain a key way of funding digital content, as media companies continue to tinker with other charging models.

  • Links to Upu Conventions and Related Documents Available Free on the Internet
    LINKS TO UPU CONVENTIONS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FREE ON THE INTERNET. by John Copeland Edition 18.7.2020 The links shown are either to the start of the book or other item containing the document or to the page which contains the start of the document itself. More than one link may be shown, (although once one link has been found, others have not been deliberately looked for) as defects in one may not appear in another, the language(s) used may differ and, even if the same copy of a book or even scan has been used to provide scans for the different providers, the formats available may differ. Experience of using Internet links shows that these can easily disappear. Most of those listed however are from organisations who are unlikely to cease to exist, although there is always a risk of a change in storage arrangements resulting in the substitution or deletion of links (e.g. with the Foreign Office in 2018) or a change of policy regarding provision of documents. For treaties from 1920 members of the League of Nations, and subsequently the United Nations, were supposed to register treaties involving them with the relevant body, who were supposed to publish them. It appears however that the League never got around to publishing the Conventions and other agreements arrived at in Madrid in 1920 and were not supplied with the supplemental agreements reached at Buenos Aires in 1939, while the convention and agreements agreed at Paris in 1947 were not published by the United Nations. The United Nations have arranged for various volumes to be accessible on the Internet and the World Legal Information Institute (WorldLII) also provides access to the English texts.
