Tēnā koe John,
Notification of extension to Official Information Act 1982 response regarding Board Minutes
Thank you for your email of 17 August 2021 requesting information about Callaghan Innovation’s board
appointments. Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
You have requested:
A. May I kindly request you to provide how you call for public expression of interest, how your
recruitment process like for these board positions. Also the pay rate of your board member.
B. During this recruitment drive, how many applications you have received and how many you
have interviewed. What channel you have used to advertise the position to general public.
C. The frequency of your board meeting for 2020 and 2021. Full Board meeting minutes from
January 2020 to now.
As previously advised in our letter to you on 25 August, parts A and B of your request were transferred to the Ministry
of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Callaghan Innovation is currently working on a response to part C of your request but requires further time to
complete consultations with parties involved. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet the original time limit and
we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision under section 15A(1)(b) of
the Act. A decision will now be communicated to you on or before 12 October 2021.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how
to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact
Ministerial Services, at [email address].
