+**Drafting principles.**
+  * Ask for documents, not opinions. The Right to Information Act gives access to existing records, not to reasons or assessments a public authority has not recorded. Phrase each request as a demand for a certified copy or a factual status.
+  * Be specific. Include the file number, application reference number, or date range that lets the Public Information Officer identify the record in one step.
+  * Keep each request to one numbered sub-paragraph. A first application with clear sub-paragraphs is easier to dispose than one with one long paragraph.
+  * After 14 November 2025, requests that seek information about a named individual engage Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 as amended by Section 44(3) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Frame such requests around a public interest ground if one exists. See [[blog:pio-reply-section-8-1-j-after-dpdp-2025|the practitioner note on the amendment]] for the test the Public Information Officer must apply.
