Advice on proposal for new code of practice for scientists

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

The request was successful.

From: Alex Harris

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

In July, MBIE released "A Nation of Curious Minds", a national strategic plan for science in society. One of the proposals in this plan was that "The Royal Society of New Zealand (RSNZ) will lead the development of a code of practice on public engagement for scientists". I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* all comunications with the RSNZ about the development of a code of practice;
* all advice and communications about this specific proposal. I am aware that MBIE consulted widely on the strategy, both with business, educational and science groups and with government agencies such as MPI, MfE and DoC. Did any of them suggest or comment on it?
* all draft copies (including annotations and tracked changes) of "A Nation of Curious Minds".

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris

Dear Alex

Thank you for your request for information related to “A Nation of Curious Minds”.

We seek clarification regarding your request for all drafts copies (including annotations and tracked changes) of the document. Providing all drafts would involve substantial collation and research and it would likely be necessary to decline your request under s 18(f) of the OIA. Refining you request will enable us to provide the information you require. We suggest that the most relevant documents are the final drafts provided to other agencies, Ministers and stakeholders for their feedback.

Kind regards

Anna Spencer

Dear Anna Spencer,

Yes, I am referring to comments and advice on the Code of practice specifically. Though if it saves you collation time to provide the comments on the science strategy as a whole (which presumably contain their comments on the strategy), then I'm happy to accept that.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Harris
