Dear Freedom of Information Officer,

I am writing to submit a formal request under the Delaware Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), requesting access to records held by the Delaware Public Integrity Commission. Specifically, I am seeking information related to any communication between the Commission and Apple Inc. regarding the development, implementation, or management of the Digital Driver's License system in Delaware.

In accordance with FOIA, I request access to the following information within the specified timeframe:

Any written correspondence, including letters, emails, memoranda, and faxes, exchanged between the Delaware Public Integrity Commission and Apple Inc. regarding the Digital Driver's License system between January 1, 2019, and the date of processing this FOIA request.

Any meeting minutes, agendas, or summaries of meetings, including phone or video conferences, held between representatives of the Delaware Public Integrity Commission and Apple Inc. regarding the Digital Driver's License system during the same period specified above.

Any contracts, agreements, or memoranda of understanding entered into between the Delaware Public Integrity Commission and Apple Inc. regarding the development, implementation, or management of the Digital Driver's License system.

Any reports, presentations, or studies prepared by Apple Inc. or shared with the Delaware Public Integrity Commission pertaining to the Digital Driver's License system.

Any policies, guidelines, or directives issued by the Delaware Public Integrity Commission in relation to the use of Apple Inc.'s technology or services for the Digital Driver's License system.

To support this request, I would like to cite the following provisions of the Delaware Freedom of Information Act:

Title 29, Chapter 100: Freedom of Information Act - This chapter provides the legal framework for public access to government records in Delaware.

Section 10003(a): Declaration of Policy - This section establishes the public's right of access to information held by public bodies, unless exempted by specific provisions of the Act.

I would like to explicitly state that I request that you do not withhold or redact any responsive documents without valid legal grounds. If any redactions are made, I kindly request that you provide an index of the redacted material with specific citations to the applicable exemptions under FOIA.

Furthermore, I request that you take appropriate measures to ensure the preservation of all responsive records. Please refrain from deleting, destroying, or altering any documents that fall within the scope of this request.

Please note that this request covers both electronic and physical records, regardless of format, including but not limited to paper documents, emails, attachments, text messages, and audio or video recordings.

If access to the requested records is denied or only partially granted, please cite the specific legal exemptions or reasons for withholding the information as required by the Delaware Freedom of Information Act.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
