Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

The 2022 update to the NZ Classification System Policy introduced new advisories and requirements for PSR-mandated agencies who hold classified information such as the NZDF.

Relating to this, I would like to request copies of:

ONE: The NZDF Declassification Policy

TWO: The NZDF Declassification Governance Framework

THREE: Any NZDF documents that set out critria for declassifying documents

FOUR: Any plan or roadmap NZDF has for proactive declassification

FIVE: For the PSR Self-Assessment Reports submitted 2023 and 2024, all answers supplied by NZDF to the questions relating to the implementation of the 2022 Classification System Policy update (including any written answers and attachments included as part of NZDF's answers)

In terms of Section 16(2) of the OIA my preference is to receive copies of these documents, rather than an excerpt or summary.

Yours faithfully,

Scott
