I’m glad the office actually hit the 20 working day deadline and attached the release docs, even if a lot of the juicy bits are probably withheld.The part about wanting meeting notes on the suicide content is understandable, since that’s usually where the reasoning gets vague. i’ve had a similar “attachment roulette” moment on a public request page where the only thing that loaded was https://playastronaut.com/bonuses/ and it made me paranoid about what’s embedded in these sites. Another time a thread preview redirected me to https://play-vortex-game.com/bonuses/ and i closed it straight away because it felt out of place. anyway, if the transcript or consideration sheet was declined, it’d be good to know which OIA withholding grounds they cited rather than just a blanket no, and i also ran into https://high-flyer-game.com/bonuses/ popping up in a sidebar on one of these pages which is distracting when you’re trying to read the actual classification rationale.
