From: Andrew Chen

Thank you for providing these documents. There is certainly a lot going on in this space and it is useful for the public to understand how facial recognition technologies are being used.

In a fresh OIA request (but on a related topic), I'd like to please request a copy of all Privacy Threshold Assessments and Privacy Impact Assessments referred to in the e-mail correspondence. Otherwise, I'm missing some important context around the e-mails.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew Chen
