What happens after your request has been submitted? 

Agency review is first conducted and then your request might be passed onto OII for acceptance and/or denial of your request.

Some of the factors which may be used by OII management in considering requests are timeliness of the topic, geographical location, targeted audience, availability of staff, and funding availability.

OII staff requestee(s) will respond directly to the event organizers.
