Fly Pauses Public Update to Clean Its Eyes

Decisions 2 today

The business responds

• Legal / Compliance heard that the fly backed away from “Third-party vendor security review backlog” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

  ““Defer” is not a disposition. Please record the review queue, risk owner, revised deadline, and the event that will turn deferral into a decision.”

  Legal / Compliance Pushed back trust -1

  Next, they want: “Provide the decision record and named owner by end of day.” They have already asked for a slot in the fly's diary.

• International Communications heard that the fly wanted more information on “International Communications asks: Approve a public remediation update, named spokesperson and next briefing time within two hours.” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

  “We requested three ordinary decisions, not the director’s cut of the incident. Please provide the names, wording, and briefing time before the news cycle names them for us.”
