Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 11 May 2022.
You requested:
1) “A copy of the [RCOI Response Steering Group] terms of reference
2) The group’s membership list
3) Copies of the agenda and minutes of all of the group’s meetings”
The Terms of Reference for the RCOI Response Steering Group (the Group) and the
minutes of all meetings held by the Group are intended to be publicly released on the
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s website by the middle of June 2022. These
will be made available at

inquiry-terrorist-attack-christchurch-masjidain While the information proposed for release will not include the meeting agendas, the minutes
are structured in such a way that the agendas are replicated within the minutes. Please also
note that a list of the Group’s membership is included in the Terms of Reference.
Therefore, I am refusing your request under section 18(d) of the act as the information
