## Overview

Draft the formal authorization (board resolution or CEO/MD letter) designating the Information Officer and Deputy IOs for submission to the Information Regulator.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *POPIA Information Officer Authorization* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example conversation

**You:** We need the formal authorization document for our Information Officer and two Deputy IOs for the regulator.

**Agent:** I’ll draft the supporting authorization. Should this be a **board resolution** (signed by the board chair) or a **letter from the CEO/Managing Director**? I’ll include the organisation name, clear designation of the IO and both DIOs, a statement of authority under POPIA, and space for date and signature. Once you confirm the format and names, I’ll produce the document ready for signature.

## Output excerpt

**Board resolution (excerpt)**  
The Board resolves that [Full Name] is designated as Information Officer and [Name 1] and [Name 2] are designated as Deputy Information Officers in terms of section 56 of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013, with effect from [date].  
Signed: _________________________ (Chair of the Board), [date]

## Extension and validation

- **authorization_check** — Validates the authorization draft for: designation of Information Officer (and DIOs), authority under POPIA or board/CEO, and signatory capacity and date. Use after drafting; address any reported missing elements and re-run until the check passes.
