From: Ramin Skibba

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

This is a request under the Official Information Act.

I request that a copy of documents and records including but not limited to the following information about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Ministerial meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, USA be provided to me: attendees, agendas, talking points, talk slides, budgets, and cost line items from 30 September 2015 to 1 October 2015.

I would prefer the request filled electronically, by email attachment if available, or with CD-ROM by post if not.

I request a waiver of all fees in connections with this Official Information Act request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest. The University of California, Santa Cruz, Science Communication Program is a professional journalism training program that regularly publishes articles based on information acquired through such requests.

Because of the widespread public and media interest in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and because I am primarily engaged in disseminating information, I believe this request meets the criteria for expedited processing.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Ramin Skibba
