Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act copies of any manuals, instructions, guidelines or other documents that the NZSIS has for dealing with Official Information Act and Privacy Act requests. In the case that any exemptions apply I would like to request that partial redactions be made rather than withholding the information in full.

Feel free to contact me if you wish me to clarify my request.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger

Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,

Thank you for keeping me updated. While I am disappointed in a further extension being requested given there has already been a quite generous extension requested, waiting until Friday does seem reasonable, especially given you have kept in touch.

About the postal address: I would greatly prefer electronic delivery, as that would mean that others could also look at the documents. If it an issue of filesize you could either send multiple emails or upload the files to an online filehost.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger

Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,

Oh, my apologies for the previous email re: your clarification of date. I misunderstood and thought that you were requesting a further extension, but now see that you were just correcting the date. Thanks for keeping me informed.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger

Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,

Thank you very much for you response. It was very helpful, and I appreciate that you will let me know let me know when the new policy as available (and it is great to hear it is going to be published proactively on your website).

To tell the truth I expected to not have much luck in finding useful information given the NZSIS's reputation, but I am very pleased to be proved wrong.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger
