Dear Harry
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act, received on 7
March 2024. You requested:
How many Directors has Treasury appointed over the past 12 months.
How many of those Directors were Maori?
How many Chairs or Deputy Chairs were appointed over the past 12 months?
How many of those Chairs/Deputy Chairs were Maori?
Please provide the criteria for assessing appropriate Director appointees.
Please advise number of times (over the last 2 years) where you have been
searching specifically for Director who is Maori. What organisations were you
appointing a Maori Director (as opposed to a Director who happened to be Maori)
I have decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act to extend the time limit
for deciding on your request by an additional 20 working days.
The extension is required because your request necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information, and consultations are needed before a decision can be made
on your request.
This extension will also apply to the time limit for transferring your request, should this
become relevant.
Notwithstanding this extension, I undertake to decide on your request as soon as
reasonably practicable.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review this decision.
Yours sincerely
Stella Kotrotsos
Manager, Governance & Appointments
