Subject: Official Information request - Zoom video conferencing being
cleared up to restricted level.

 

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

 

On the 30th of March 2020 in Prime Minister Ardern's her live address to
the nation at 4pm she said that Zoom video conferencing has been cleared
up to restricted level. This is completely at odds with industries
understanding of Zoom, especially given its terms and conditions/privacy
policy. Ignoring the title, this is laid out is "lay mans" terms in this
article.

Can you please provide all documents and/or correspondance that backs up
the use of zoom for meetings? Also, all documents /correspondence that
were related to the decision to use zoom.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Hemant
