Dear Ms Barker,

Further to my earlier email, I have just been advised that the staff member's absence is likely to be prolonged.

It would be helpful for you to give me a call, in the interim, to discuss your request. I can be contacted at (03) 379 8250.

Sincerely,

Jan Flood
Registrar

Dear Ms Barker

My name is Chris Stoddart, and I have recently taken over the role of Registrar at the University of Otago. I apologise for the delay in responding to your information request, which as you know, has related to unexpected staff absence. The staff member concerned has now returned to work, but on reduced hours. However, I have spoken with them today and they have confirmed that they will have this information ready for you very shortly.

In light of this, I am notifying an extension of time for response to Friday 9 November 2018, to allow the staff member concerned sufficient time to complete collation while continuing to fulfil the other duties of their role. Should the information be available prior to the 9th, we will certainly send it to you straight away. I note your right under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act to make a complaint to an Ombudsman in relation to this extension.

Apologises again for the delay.

Kind regards

Chris Stoddart
Registrar
