Dear Children's Commissioner,

Thank you for your recent reply-J Luke OIA 29 Oct 2023

I noted, "We can confirm that the Secretariat has received 35 applications for the role of Independent
Member – Risk, Assurance, and Finance Committee. There are no ‘nominating agencies’, noting
that this is an individual expression of interest recruitment process."

How many of independent member you intend to appoint and when you expect the process to conclude. What is your timeline for this individual expression of interest recruitment process will be look like.

I noted, "newly established role was provided to the following organisations and agencies for publication
or sharing at their discretion:
• Manatū Wāhine - Ministry for Women
• Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People
• Te Tari Mātāwaka - Ministry for Ethnic Communities
• Ministry for Pacific Peoples – te Manatū mō ngā Iwi ō te Moana-nui-ā-Kiwa
• Te Puni Kokiri – Ministry of Māori Development"

Has any of these organisations sent you any recommendations or endorsements of any candidate？

Yours faithfully,

john luke
