Re: Maxwell Audio

Good Afternoon,

To meet expectations, OTD is requesting clarification on the instructions for the Maxwell audio recording.

Request #1: ODAG Acting Associate Deputy Attorney Gener; requested OTD to redact the portions identified below in the one audio file. Should OTD upload the result to the provided shared folder?

Below are the portions requested for redaction from the audio file that is 42:10 in length (it is the second substantive recording from 7/25).

• Redac ' from 42:10 file at time stamps 11:25, 11:27, and 18:24

• Redact from 42:10 file at timestamp 18:18.

OTD will overwrite the timestamps stated above with an audible sound to redact and unless otherwise advised.

In addition, OTD will remove the metadata from the one file above with the length of 42:10.

Request #2: NY ASAC ██████████ requested OTD to merge the list of the below recordings into one audio recording. Is this accurate? Should OTD upload the result to the provided shared folder?

OTD personnel were provided access to two folders dated July 24th (10 audio files) and July 25th (6 audio files) for a total of 16 audio files. In request #2 from NY, there are 10 audio files listed for processing, please confirm OTD should not process the other 6 audio files in the shared folder.

Who should OTD provide the one combined audio file to or should OTD upload the file to the provided shared folder? OTD will remove the metadata from the combined audio file.

Currently, OTD is working on the redaction request from the one audio file per the ODAG's request. To ensure the redactions are completed accurately, OTD will need until tomorrow afternoon for the ODAG request #1 and until Wednesday afternoon for the NY request #2. Once OTD receives clarity on the final instructions we will be able to provide a specific timeline.

Thank you,

Essentially we want the short clips to be combined w the original start clip.

Can you coordinate.

Thanks.

We want 007 combined with 008 in one file from the 24th and 005 and 006 combined into one file from the 26th?
