2. Any internal guidance, criteria, instructions, or decision rules used to determine when:
(a) a matter is entered into the complaints log,
(b) a matter is treated as an informal concern, or
(c) no record is made.
3. The date on which the complaints log was last updated, and the number of entries added since the version released under OIAD-1764.
If any information is withheld, please provide a schedule of documents withheld and the grounds for withholding.
