    Salamun Alaykum Ali,
 
The Human Rights Commission (the Commission) acknowledges receipt of your
 request for information dated 7 February 2023, which seeks copies of all
 communications between Chief Commissioner Paul Hunt and the Israel
 Institute of New Zealand, New Zealand Jewish Council, and Community
 Security Group.
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible within 20
 working days, by 7 March 2023. If we are unable to respond to your request
 by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe within 20
 working days.
 
Your request as currently framed will be very difficult to meet without
 substantial collation or research. It will take a significant amount of
 time for us to obtain and review all correspondence with the organisations
 listed above, as well as consulting with them and making potential
 redactions to this information prior to release. We are of the view that
 this would unduly interfere with the Commission’s other operations.
 
Unless your request is refined, we may have to refuse it under section
 18(f) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), which applies where the
 information cannot be made available without substantial collation or
 research. To address the Commission’s difficulty in meeting your request,
 we suggest that your request be refined to only cover correspondence
 between the Chief Commissioner and these organisation within the last year
 (i.e. 7 February 2022 to 7 February 2023). Please let us know before by
 next Wednesday, 22 February whether you are prepared to amend refine your
 request in this way.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, please feel
 free to please feel free to contact us on [1][email address] or telephone
 0800 496 877.
