Hey Catherine,
It will be uploaded by the end of today, its sitting with the Director NCIG for approval as he has 
not as yet reviewed this one.
As its due tomorrow I am not sure what will need to occur for this to be extended in order for 
there to have the additional exec oversight that you mentioned or if there needs to be any 
extension.
Just thought I would send you a quick update and heads up.

Hi Dave – thanks for drafting up the response to this OIA.
I’ve tweaked it up a bit, and have just met with Scott Spackman to seek his guidance on the
proposed response.
He’s all good with the attached amended copy.
I also met this morning with Ministerial Services and we’ve plugged in a short extension date on
getting this back to them by Wednesday 2 Feb.

If it needs a further extension past that date, you just need to pop up to see them on 5th floor
and they’ll sort that out no problem. (I was dealing with Catherine English – very helpful lady).
 
It would pay for you to go up there anyway to let them know you have completed the response
and that it’s been provisionally given the thumbs up from Legal.
 
Next step is loading it not the Information Request machine and sending it through that process
to the next recipient – again, they’ll show you that.

Hi Ann. 
Can you please forward this OIA response to Tom for his review and approval. 
It’s a simple request about what the term ‘polling’ means with cellphones. 

DSS Dave Lankshear has prepared the response, which has been read by Legal (Scott Spackman)
who is happy with it. 
Requires Toms approval via email, and then return to Dave Lankshear (cc’ed in here) who will
followup with Ministerial Services to have it sent out through the usual channels. 
For your info and forwarding.

Kia ora David,
 
The attached response has been approved by the Exec. It is currently with the Minister’s Office
(MO) for their no-surprises notification until Mon 30/05. In the meantime – can I please ask for
your signature to be applied to the 1st attachment (we ask this now so that it can be
disseminated promptly upon clearance from the MO).
 
When done, can you please send it back our way and we’ll date, redact-apply then disseminate
this to the requestor once its time at the MO elapses.
 
This OIA is due on Mon 30 May.
 
Thanks

Here you are Jeremy,
Signed as requested.
I was told to not sign until it had been approved for release from the exec, hence lack of
signature.
