Dear FOI Team,

You say:

> We believe part 2 of your request on it’s own does not engage the cost limit.

Can you please explain why this information was not provided in the first response and provide the requested information without delay. I will reconsider submitting part 1 as its own separate request.

Yours sincerely,

Carl Heaton

Dear Mr Heaton, 
Thank you for your email.
When the cost limit applies to any part of a request the department
applies the cost limit to the whole request. This is as recommended by the
ICO. It is for this reason that we did not provide you with a full
response to that part of your request.
If you would like to make part 2 of your request separately then you can
do so, but you should be aware that the department reserves the right to
aggregate such requests under section 5 of the Fees regulations. 
This may impact whether the cost limit is engaged to both any re-request
of part 2 and any refined request under part 1 of your original request.
Do let us know if you would like to proceed with part 2 of your request.
Kind regards
Jamie

Dear Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport,

Thank you for your response.

In your response, you quote my original part 2 request, but this excludes my requested clarification of 8 December 2021 that "to save later time / further FOIA request and review can we also expand the relevant persons to include "Paul Fletcher" a former trustee of SWGL and the incoming Nominet CEO please?"

Can you please clarify if your search did or did not include this requested expansion of >= 400 days ago?

Yours faithfully,
