OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
I refer to your official information request of Monday 3 August 2020 in which you asked for the
information below, relating to the Ministry’s Nominations service:
May I ask how is your process of nominating people and how many people registered within
your registry. Also, how many people you have successful y nominated to a position from the
past two year, may I have al the name of successful applicant and the position they have been
successful on.
If possible, may I also get the list of positions that you have nominated people to from your
registry in the past two year.
The information we are able to provide is below.
Our process for nominating women for state sector board and committee positions is as fol ows:
1. We receive a request from an appointing agency looking for state sector board or committee
members;
2. We review the position description and details around what skil s and criteria are being looked for
in applicants, such as industry registration;
3. We search our database for applicants who have the skil s and necessary criteria mentioned in
the position description and ask them if they would be interested in applying for the position with
our support;
4. We send a list of al applicants interested in the state sector board or committee role to the
appointing agency;
5. The final appointment decision and approval sits with the relevant Minister and Cabinet
Appointment and Honours Committee.
There are currently 1513 active registrations on the Ministry for Women’s Nominations database.
From 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019, the Ministry referred women to state sector board and
committee positions 1682 times. As of 31 December 2019, 139 women who are on our database are
on state sector boards and committees.
We have attached a list of the state sector boards and committees that we have been requested to
put forward potential candidates for in the last two years.
Under section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act (to protect the privacy of natural persons), we are
not able to provide the names of successful appointments. Membership in our Nominations database,
and therefore information relating to particular nominations, is private.

personal details redacted, may be published on the Ministry’s website. If you have any concerns or
comments related to this, please let us know by emailing [email address], within
