Dear Mr Clarke
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
I refer to your email of 29 January 2016, which contained a request, pursuant to the
Freedom
of Information Act 1982 (Cth), for access to:
Developments by the organisation that have led to a resulting profit (eg. the
development of wi-fi.) If possible could you include a list of all technologies and the
cost associated with their development fol owed by the total amount of funds returned
to the organisation. .
Acknowledgement:
CSIRO received your request on 29 January 2016 and the 30 day statutory period for
processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore
expect a decision from CSIRO by
Monday, 29 February 2016. The period of 30 days may be
extended if we need to consult third parties pursuant to sections 27 and 27A of the FOI Act,
in relation to their personal information and/or their business affairs contained in the
documents you are seeking. CSIRO wil advise you if this happens.
Under the FOI Act charges may be imposed for processing your request pursuant to section
29. These charges are calculated by reference to the time spent in searching and retrieving
relevant documents, decision making time, photocopying, postage etc. In the event CSIRO
decides that you are liable to pay a charge in respect of processing your request, you wil be
notified of the preliminary assessment of the charges and you will have the opportunity to
contend that the charge should not be imposed, or should be reduced.
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be published online on
CSIRO’s disclosure log, subject to certain exceptions. For example, personal information will
not be published where this would be unreasonable.
CSIRO will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if you would prefer
us to use an alternative means of contact.
Yours sincerely,
Beth Maloney
Legal Counsel
CSIRO
