Thank you again for your hard work on this project. Just to give you a heads up, we are going to be looking to redact all victim names from the audio recordings (in the same manner as you did for the two individuals previously). We are working on getting the timestamps to you ASAP.

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). ¢ Redact the name ‘a from 42:10 file at time stamps 11:25, 11:27, and 18:24 ¢ Redact ‘l’ from 42:10 file at timestamp 18:18. OTD will overwrite the timestamps stated above with an audible sound to redact the names and “QP unless otherwise advised. In addition, OTD will remove the metadata from the one file above with the length of 42:10. EFTA00163653

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.
