Joss J. made this Official Information request to Television New Zealand Limited

The request was successful.

From: Joss J.

Dear Television New Zealand Limited,

For the period 1 January 2015 onwards, please supply all email correspondence that TVNZ holds that is addressed to, or has been sent from the following senior management team members at Nga Taonga Sound & Vision: Rebecca Elvy, Sarah Davy and Jamie Lean.

I am only seeking correspondence that exists in a business capacity (e.g emails to/from individuals in relevant senior leadership positions of a publicly funded archive that manages the publicly owned TVNZ collection).

Please note that I know business email correspondence does exist and your own policy manual states "TVNZ will provide prompt, full and accurate information, in response to Official Information Act requests.”

I look forward to hearing from you,

Yours faithfully,

Joss J.

Dear Joss

 

We have a considerable number of emails to sort through in relation to
your request so will require more time to comply.  We expect this to be
completed by 7 July.

 

This extension is applied pursuant to Section 15A(1)(a) of the Act.

 

Given the expected volume, can you please supply a postal address that we
can send physical copies to?

 

Regards

Brent

Dear Brent McAnulty,

Thanks for getting back in contact. As the documents originate in digital form I don't think it would be good for the environment to print them out.

Can you please supply them in electronic form combined into a pdf to this FYI email address. This also aids accessibility, transparency and saves on staff time and postage too.

Yours sincerely,

Joss J.

Dear Brent McAnulty,

PS: If you need a pdf optimization tool - there is a free online one here: https://pdfresizer.com/optimize

It will reduce filesize and page-split pdf's for you.

Yours sincerely,

Joss J.

Dear Brent McAnulty,

Just checking in with you about responding to this request (you mentioned it was likely that you would respond by 7 July)?

PS: when emailing pdfs - the email needs to be under 10MB in size otherwise it will bounce back. The link that I sent you earlier allows you to split pdfs, and the FYI website allows multiple response emails.

Yours sincerely,

Joss J.

Hi Joss

To update you on progress, we have secured the emails and we are in the process of reviewing them to eliminate anything that is out of scope or can be rightly withheld under the Act.

We expect there to be very few redactions - that is certainly the case so far. We will also show our draft response to Nga Taonga, which is only fair.

I expect that this will take an additional 7-10 days. Our response will be with you no later than Monday 23rd July.

Kind regards
Brent

Dear Joss

I refer to your request below and subsequent correspondence between us. I appreciate your patience while we were compiling and reviewing a large amount of documentation.

The emails you have requested are attached (in two separate emails). Please note that some limited information has been redacted and the relevant section cited in each case. Aside from that, all emails have been disclosed except where duplication has occurred (i.e. multiple recipients or earlier emails in a sequence).

Where we have withheld information, in our view the withholding of that information is not outweighed by other considerations which render it desirable in the public interest to make it available.

In accordance with Section 19(b) of the Act we advise that you have the right to seek an investigation and review of the above refusal by making a complaint under Section 28(3) to an Ombudsman.

Please let me know if you have any queries in relation to this.

Regards

Brent McAnulty
General Counsel and Corporate Affairs Director
