To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Correspondence within the last six years: messages exchanged between employees of the United States Department of State and email addresses ending in any of the country code top-level domain names " .my " for Malaysia ( i.e. xxxxx@malaysia.gov.my ), " .bn " for Brunei, and " .vn " for Vietnam. I request copies of these correspondences, but only in those cases in which an email thread includes references to one or more of the following: "Trans-Pacific Partnership", "TPP", "copyright", "trademark", "scent", "visually perceptible", or "intellectual property". I also request any internal state department records that pertain to any of these three countries in connection with the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
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 fees cannot be waived, 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 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Your organization has a substantial number of requests. The Department of State keeps track of requests by case numbers. In the future when you request a status on a case please provide the case number in the subject line of your message. This will not only make it easier to find your case, it will facilitate a quick answer to your inquiry. Due to the fact you have not provided case numbers in your requests replying to your e-mails will take more time.

Mr. Knight,
The Department's electronic case notes indicate the case is still open. The searches are still pending. Each case is different and the processing time depends on the complexity of information requested, the location of the information, and the time it takes to review the records.
The estimated completion date (ECD) for this case is April 30, 2017.
ECDs are subject to change and are "strictly" estimates and not intended to be used as "actual" dates of completion, due to various extenuating factors, which may or may not include coordination with other Agencies during the process (referrals, concurrences, etc.). Interim release dates are provided, as applicable.
