Hi Jacqueline,

I would like to narrow my request to the following documents:

Records, correspondence, and minutes consisting of, describing, or concerning all communications between the US Trade Representative and representatives of industry, regarding the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), specifically related to matters related to "networks" and "information", between the dates of January 2013 and December 2014.

Fee waiver verification: Documents released to me will be published online, and will be analyzed in order to contribute to public understanding of identifiable operations and activities of the Offices of the U.S. Trade Representative—specifically how it communicates with various stakeholders and arrives at policy proposals put forth in TiSA negotiations.

Sincerely,
Maira
