Microsoft 365 license and service

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

Copies of state license and service agreements/contracts for the use of Microsoft 365 products. Specifically, I request portions that relate to the availability, use, and implementation of Microsoft Purview.

At a minimum, any portion that relates to the "Content search" and eDiscovery features. If possible, I would also like any portion that relates to Purview auditing, records management, compliance extensibility/"Priva", Compliance Manager, privileged access management, Microsoft Purview Information Barriers, Communication Compliance, and insider risk management.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

ALEXANDER RICCIO

In my prior dealings with city and state agency FOIL requests, I have seen the agency proffer dates 60 days ahead as the expected completion date, only to further delay by 60 days on that date. More than one agency illegally repeated this at least a half dozen times.

Can I expect this FOIL request to actually be completed on or before December 18, 2023? If not, I will not hesitate to appeal on grounds of constructive denial.

Please confirm for me that the estimated completion date of December 18, 2023 is accurate and true.

Should this date later be revised, let the record reflect that I made efforts to work with the agency before reaching for the route of appeal on grounds of constructive denial.

The estimated completion date is about 3 business days away. Please confirm with me that that is still the accurate, true, and honest estimated completion date.

Thank you! I do not have time to review them right now, but will do soon!
