The request was refused by Radio New Zealand Limited.

From: Harris Leigh

Dear Radio New Zealand Limited,

Under the OIA I seek copies of any internal guidance documents you have relating to responding to OIA requests.

In particular I seek copies of any guidance documents around the appropriateness or otherwise of waiting 20 working days to respond to information that is available well within that time.

I also seek copies of any documents you hold relating to RNZ modelling best practise in responding to OIA given the nature of the RNZ business.

Yours faithfully,

Harris Leigh
