Thanks Susan.  The reduced wording looks ok to me, but Gavin and Nick need to be comfortable
also.  With Matt away I cannot check if anything has been done on the metadata, so let’s leave
that out.
NickGavin – are you ok with Susan’s revisions?
Kind regards
Chris.

Hi Chris
Thanks very much for sending this through. 
This wording is much longer than the updates for the other datasets in the quarterly report.
To maintain the style of the report, but without wishing to take away key information from
THE OFFICIAL 
your update, could I propose summarising this to the draft below.
Also, is there any update on adding the two fields (spatial extent and purpose) to the
metadata, as that would be an additional good news story worth sharing that the metadata
was now compliant.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand understands the importance of the suburbs dataset and is

working with LINZ to establish options regarding the dataset by December 2019.
Q2    Fire and Emergency NZ received legal advice on the potential to transition NZ Localities
to a Creative Commons licence and measures to ensure the integrity of the dataset for
operational purposes.  
Q3    Fire and Emergency will participate in the NZ Geographic Board’s workshop to consider
a ‘single point of truth’ for suburbs and localities, and reiterate the need to ensure that any
Public Risk in this space can be mitigated in order to ensure the safety of the New Zealand
public in the context of emergency response services.
 
Thanks,  Susan

Hi Susan
 
UNDER 
Here is our proposed wording for the update:
 
Q2 Fire and Emergency New Zealand received legal advice on both the potential to
transition the NZ Localities Dataset to a Creative Commons licence and measures to
ensure the integrity of the dataset for operational purposes.   Fire and Emergency New
Zealand also continued ongoing discussions with LINZ.  Those discussions led to Fire and
INFORMATION 
Emergency:
(i)                  obtaining advice from LINZ regarding the suitability of Creative Commons
license variants appropriate for the NZ Localities Dataset, and
(ii)                obtaining advice from the New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) that they
RELEASED 
do not oppose NZ Localities being released as an open dataset.
 
Q3. In late 2019, LINZ and the NZGB sought Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s input into
developing a ‘single point of truth’ for suburbs and localities in New Zealand that will be
publicly available.  During Q3 FENZ intends to provide LINZ and the NZGB with requested
OFFICIAL 
input into the discussions, and appraise the agencies of the nature of the Localities
Dataset, the use of the Dataset, and the need to ensure that any Public Risk in this space
can be mitigated in order to ensure the safety of the New Zealand public in the context of
emergency response services.

Any questions, let us know.
 
Kind regards
 
Chris.

Hi Susan
 
UNDER 
From your end of December email, we have drafted updated wording – it will be significantly
different to what you proposed.  It is being reviewed internally, and hopefully we will be able to
provide it to you in the timeframe you have requested.
 
We can discuss after that and prior to you sharing further.

Thanks.
 
Kind regards

Hi Chris and Matt
 
Hope you are settling into the new year ok and that all is well.
 
Please find attached the draft key datasets for resilience and climate change quarter 2
update.  This incorporates the wording I originally drafted at the end of December, for your
review. 
 
It would be good if we could also add that the metadata has been updated to include extent


and purpose, as we could then report the dataset as having compliant metadata.
 
The document also includes a graph indicating the level of improvement required for each
dataset, recording suburbs as requiring ‘significant’ improvement.
 
As always, I’m open to discussing this further with you.
 
If you were able to get back to me by next Thursday 23rd January that would be ideal.  This
document will then be shared with NZGIS4EM and NEMA.
 
Thanks,  Susan

Hi Chris

Welcome back.  Hope you have had a good break.
 
The next NZGIS4EM Committee meeting isn’t scheduled until early March, and it is these
meetings which have driven our deadlines in the past.

Having said that, I’m aiming to get the update signed off by end of January, once everyone is
back, which I think fits in with the revised OIA response?
 
Happy to discuss if that would help.

Hi Chris & Matt
 
UNDER 
I realise this may well reach you in the new year now, and if so I hope you have had a lovely
break.
 
Another three months have gone by, and it is time to prepare the next quarterly update for
the key datasets for resilience and climate change project.
 
The text in the last update is included below.  I’ve also drafted text for this quarter for your
INFORMATION 
review (Oct to Dec 2019). 
 
Matt, it would be good to say the metadata now complies with the metadata guidance if you
have added in extent and purpose as previously discussed.
RELEASED 
 
You can see I’m not certain what to put for quarter 3 (Jan to Mar 2020) so I’ve added the
ideal solution for you to comment on.
