Dear OIA,
I note that you have not replied by 14 December 2021, and there has been no extension notification. As I assume you are going to follow the law, I am requesting you resend the release as it clearly hasn't come through - or can you please confirm that you have not responded within the statutory timeframe and the reasons for it.
Yours sincerely,
G S

Dear DIA
RE: Official Information Act 1982 request OIA2122-0413
I am just wondering if you could please outline when the parts of the request that will soon be available will actually be available?
I note the Ombudsman guidance (link below) states " As a general rule of thumb, release more than 8 weeks after the refusal is unlikely to be considered ‘soon’." It has now been nine weeks.
https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/site...
Given this guidance, I would have expected these parts to have been released by now.
Yours sincerely,
G S
