Thank you for your email received 7 March 2019, under the Official
Information Act 1982.
 
Superu operated a number of reference groups (Whānau, Pacific and Ethnic),
an Ethics Committee and a Social Science Experts Panel. With the change in
focus in 2017/18 none of the groups met, and were disbanded. No fees or
costs were paid in relation to the Ethnic Reference Group in 2017/18
financial year. Superu was disestablished on 30 June 2018.
 
As such, there are no current members of the Ethnic Reference Group, no
recent meeting minutes, and there will not be a call for nomination.
 
You may be interested to know that expressions of interest for the Ethnic
Reference Group were sought when it was established, information about
this is available here:

Historic information about the members of the group is available from the
Families Commission Annual Reports, available here:

Dear Ministry of Social Development,
 
I understand from the following link
 
[10]https://www.superu.govt.nz/about-us/Ethn...
 
You have an Ethnic-reference-group and the page was updated 7 Mar 2019,
which means it was a recent update.
 
I would like to know who is on that reference group and their bio. Also, I
would like to know if you have call for nomination and in what way you
have call for nomination, such as put the position on job.govt.nz site.
Further, I would like to know what is the purpose of this group and please
provide their term of reference and recent minutes of meeting
 
Yours faithfully,
 
john luke
