Dear Nick

Thank you for your below email of 28 March to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment requesting information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). I have been assigned to respond to your request.

In order for me to provide the information you're looking for in a helpful manner for you, I would appreciate if you could please be more specific with your request. It is possible that the Ministry may refuse your request under section 18(f) of the Official Information Act - that the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research - unless you can narrow your request. For example, whether there are any specific documents you are looking for and/or specific date ranges and/or who is meant by your references to "outside partners or anyone that has some oversight" and "anyone and everyone else who has a 'connected' interest".

Please note that any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to be a new request for the purposes of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for response.

Kind regards

Dear Bryce Wigodsky,

 

To clarify what information I am after I first need to ensure and declare
that I wish to not receive any personal information that may identify that
person. I specifically am after details concerning how and for what means
has this and will this process become aware to other parties.

 

a. When creating the Cabinet approval paper, MBIE would have needed to
full a study to assist the Minister with the requirement to notify cabinet
if any or other pieces of legislation are deemed to potentially be
affected by the review process. The Minister notified None. So would like
to know how and by what means did this answer become justified.

a.

i. Are any non-ministry staff a party to this review-other than those who
have participated in formal information sharing undertaken and stipulated
in the Review Guidelines.

ii. The foundational documents required for this Review process. Was it
strictly by internal process?. if not by whom (title ie. Contractor or
lobbyist) and how was such information transferred to the team tasked with
this Review process.

 

b.

i.  Would like any framework or guidelines/documents/internal memo's on
this process.

ii. The titles of the parties took part in this process.

iii. Any outside parties eg from which ministry or outside organisation
did they belong to.

iv. If it was an external party by which authority where they deemed as
required to be a party to.

v. Did or does this external party maintain any consideration for the
passage of the Review.

 

c. After initial Submissions-

i. which other Ministries or external parties are part of this stage of
the process.

ii.What guiding principles or defined statements are associated with these
'external parties'

iii. The defined 'next stage'

 

d.

i. What and how does the review ensure International Treaty obligations
are followed? Are these obligations a living consideration? If so, what
and how does this dialogue manifest itself.

 

Here to assist further with any clarity if needed.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Nicholas Hambly
