Dear Alister
Thank you for your email received on 15 April 2015 requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982, the
following information:
•
“I would like to know the history of the distribution of work to panel members of the Java and
Microsoft development panels. Ie which panel members were successful in getting project work and
which projects were assigned to these panel members?”
I am writing to advise you that the Ministry will provide a response but needs to extend the time available
to answer your request. The Ministry’s response will be with you no later than 12th June 2015.
The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such
that a proper response to the request cannot be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of our decision to extend the time limit by the
Ombudsman, whose address for contact purposes is:
The Ombudsman
Office of the Ombudsman
PO Box 10-152
WELLINGTON 6143
I will respond to you sooner if I am able to.
Yours sincerely
Alan Witcombe
Manager, Ministerial Services
Organisational Strategy & Support
Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
