    STATE SERVICES COMMISSION TE KAWA MATAAHO 1 0 March 2020 Andrew Ecclestone [email protected]. org.nz Dear Mr Ecclestone Official Information Request Our Ref: SSCOIA 2020-0019 I refer to your official information request received on 11 February 2020 where you have asked a number of follow up questions to your previous Official Information Act request (OIA) on the subject of the proactive release policy. For ease of reference we have listed each of your new questions and our response directly under each. SSC previous response: "The SSC engaged with agencies on the proactive release of Cabinet material policy between August and October 2019. A sector wide forum in August 2019 was followed by smaller group and one-on-one sessions with the agencies that produce the majority of Cabinet papers (those that lodged 10 or more papers between the implementation of the policy on 1 January 2019 and 30 September 2019). This information was supplemented by information estimating the number of papers released, and information on the number of papers lodged, provided by the Cabinet Office". Background to the Review The proactive release of Cabinet papers policy came into effect from 1 January 2019. The structure of the policy sees agencies responsible for the release of material for which ministers are responsible and must authorise the release of. This is supported and operationalised by the agency, which is "responsible for administering the proactive release and publication of the Cabinet material online" (CO (18) 4 refers). This has required agencies to work in a new way with ministers' offices.
