Hello Mr Shaw,
I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 request of 13 May to the
Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI). We have information to release to
you but given the size of the documents we are unable to email this to
you. Could you please either provide a postal address we can send the
information to you, or if you are based in Wellington advise if you would
like to come and collect it.
Kind regards,

Hi Oliver,
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately the documents requested are too big to upload to the website, and are packaged up in hardcopy form ready to be sent to the requestors physical address. Are you able to provide a contact number, email, or postal address for Caroline Evans and Alan Shaw?
Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
The FYI email addresses you already have are the addresses you should use for our requesters. It will be up to them to provide you alternative contact details.
With regards to OIA s16(2), the preferred response is electronic (either email or the upload URLs provided). If this is not possible, under s16(3) you need to provide the reason and supporting grounds. Our logs show you have not attempted email or upload so I wonder how you have decided it is "too big".
Regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
The response is close to 1000 pages long. On the advice of our IT division, we have not attempted to scan it. We have spoken with the Office of the Ombudsman and advised them that despite our best efforts we are unable to get the responses to requestors electronically.
We will wait for a response from the requestors regarding alternative contact details. Alternatively, we are happy to send FYI.org the hardcopy documents for you to scan and upload yourself.
Regards,
Alex
