Hello Brent,
Apologies for my very late response.
I am still interested in these records; However, I'm unable to pay the fee. Do you have any recommendations of how I can limit the scope of my request while still retrieving documents responsive to my request?
Thanks,
Sarika

Sarika,

Brent,
I'm interested in more than the press releases available on your website.
In terms of the records you offered to me, you mentioned the "Board of Registrars Handbook and Year 1 Parts 1 and 2 of the training materials." Would you be able to please clarify what these materials consist of? Would you be able to give me select parts of these materials to limit the cost of production?
Thanks,
Sarika
