To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any records detailing the efforts to "collaborate with prominent American influencers to co-create products about NATO’s role in global security" as described in the May 2023 report on the Inspection of the U.S. Mission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Records sought include a list of the "influencers" participated in this effort, any remuneration offered or given to the influencers, copies of the "products" that were "co-created" with the influencers, documentation of which Mission personnel took part in the initiative, and correspondence related to the planning, administration, and promotion of the initiative.
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.
