message: JISC is just JISC these days, it's not an acronym any more. See the JISC website, strategic plan etc. This page should be at [jisc] and [Joint Information Systems Committee] should redirect there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.173.4.184 (talk) 14:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The following sentence (from the History of JISC section) is grammatical nonsense. I can't even begin to imagine how it was supposed to read:
:"A major challenge facing JISC when it was first established was to support a much larger community of institutions, comprising the ex-polytechnics and higher education colleges, along with the universities served by JISC’s predecessor bodies, the Information Systems Committee (ISC) and the Computer Board and acted as Vice-Chair to the ISC was appointed as Chair to the newly created JISC."

thread_title: Nonsense sentence

message: I'm currently employed as a contractor for Jisc, so will not edit the article. Some things that are out of date:
For the infobox: Jisc is no longer a committee, so it does not have a chair. The current leader of Jisc is Martyn Harrow and his title is Chief Executive. http://www.jisc.ac.uk/about/corporate/leadership He was appointed in 2012.http://www.hefce.ac.uk/news/newsarchive/2012/name,76166,en.html
Jisc's registered charity number (in England and Wales) is 1149740 - can be confirmed through the official database at http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/find-charities/
Present-tense statements should call it Jisc, not JISC, since it's no longer an acronym.
Jisc is arguably Wikimedia's most important strategic partner in the UK, so it would be nice to see the article more up to date. Thanks,

replies: text: Hi  In light of the above links that Hfd rich has posted, the ref that I've added under Further Reading, and the mentions of Jisc in government documents  are you willing to accept that the organisation is notable? The article is unarguably terrible but the organisation itself is such a long-established part of the education sector in the UK — that most universities or colleges have contact with — that it would be very strange for Wikipedia not to have an article about it. MartinPoulter (talk) 17:39, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to agree in principle with MartinPoulter. Jisc is an important component in the infrastructure of higher education in the UK, and by all reasonable standards is undoubtedly notable. The problem, I suspect, is that most of the time it just quietly gets on with its job, and so only rarely hits the headlines. In addition to points already made, note that there are over 200 wikilinks to this article; and also a German-language counterpart (albeit equally in need of revision and updating).

I object to the deletion. However, I do agree that the page has major problems.

thread_title: Jisc is notable

message: The opening text just added 'The Joint Information Systems Committee, branded as Jisc' is incorrect. The current charity organisation established in 2012 is called Jisc. Before this there was a committee (not an organisation) - and it's executive - called Joint Information Systems Committee. see arrticles of association for more https://jisc-ac-uk-static-assets-prod.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/media/documents/jisc-articles-of-association.pdf
The recent page move / redirect was made without discussion and I suggest it should be reverted. 
Foxdown (talk) 21:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. The current name is clearly Jisc. See also its Charity Commission page. GrindtXX (talk) 22:47, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

text: please undo your recent renaming. The name of the charity is Jisc and Joint Information Systems Committee is its former name from long ago. It's immaterial that the original move to Jisc had no consensus; it correctly reflected a changed situation. Ironically, if you had asked here for consensus for the recent change, you wouldn't have got it. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
