As mentioned by @FYI_NZ on Twitter (https://twitter.com/FYI_NZ/status/903405...), s16(2) of the OIA says agencies should make information available in the format preferred by the requester if possible. It should be implicit from this request that emailing a file is preferred to receiving something via post. You could cite this section of the OIA when asking for them to email the PDF.

And to pre-empt "PDF too big for e-mail", ask that if it's over ~7MB in size, for them to use a Dropbox share or an equivalent service as the means of delivery. Then download and re-upload it here for perpetuity.

Paul,
In addition to Andrew's annotation, if you ask them to e-mail, which you are entitled to, please remind them:
"You may e-mail the FYI team on requests@fyi.org.nz per https://fyi.org.nz/help/contact to organise a method to upload the file(s) directly to the FYI website"
Cheers.

Hello Paul
I'm sorry I can't forward this document to you electronically for security reasons. I can have it downloaded on to a disk - as per one of the options outlined in my letter.

What possible security reasons could there be for them not sending the file electronically? They've already decided that they're satisfied to release it under the OIA, which means they should be treating it as public. They surely can't be concerned about an electronic communication being intercepted or anything.
This is certainly worthy of a complaint to the Ombudsman. I expect that either the police are being dishonest regarding their reasons here, or they're trying to restrict access to the information by refusing to make it available on this website.

Back in September I sent the Police a private e-mail to ask them about this request.
I got a response back from them today, it appears they are preparing some sort of release of the Appendix.
Paul, I'm just wondering, had you filed a complaint with the Ombudsman about their implied refusal?
Paul Barrett left an annotation ()
Thank you for all your assistance.
No i did not make a complaint. I would have paid for the CD version but I have been busy with other things and it went on the back burner.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence

That's unreasonable. The police can, and should, email the PDF copy for free.
