Declassification program

Scott made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was successful.

From: Scott

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

The 2022 update to the NZ Classification System Policy introduced new advisories and requirements for PSR-mandated agencies who hold classified information such as the DPMC.

Relating to this, I would like to request copies of:

ONE: The DPMC Declassification Policy

TWO: The DPMC Declassification Governance Framework

THREE: Any DPMC documents that set out critria for declassifying documents

FOUR: Any plan or roadmap DPMC has for proactive declassification

FIVE: For the PSR Self-Assessment Reports submitted 2023 and 2024, all answers supplied by DPMC to the questions relating to the implementation of the 2022 Classification System Policy update (including any written answers and attachments included as part of DPMC's answers)

In terms of Section 16(2) of the OIA my preference is to receive copies of these documents, rather than an excerpt or summary.

Yours faithfully,

Scott
