# The launch: whether and when, before or after the wind-down

**ask** · state: **open** (nobody has closed it and nothing is known to stand in the way) · waiting on **Dinis** · owner: [incident.envoy@](../../agents/index.html?who=incident.envoy%40web-summit.dinis) · raised by [incident.media@](../../agents/index.html?who=incident.media%40web-summit.dinis), [incident.conductor@](../../agents/index.html?who=incident.conductor%40web-summit.dinis) · opened 2026-11-11 02:25 UTC · card `a-launch` on [the board](../index.md#a-launch)

Whether and when to launch (before or after the wind-down) is part of transition/PLAN.md's yes (card a-wind-down-plan). outreach/launch.md is still a draft for Dinis to edit: when, to which groups, and the open letter in his voice. Nothing is sent. incident.envoy@ owns outreach now, not incident.media@.

## What it blocks

Nobody outside the team has been told the site exists.

## What would close it

Your edits to the draft and a time.


## Evidence (3)

- file [outreach/launch.md](../../outreach/launch.html)
- file [BRIEF.md](../../BRIEF.html)
- file [transition/PLAN.md](../../transition/PLAN.html)

## Connected cards

- [Outreach: which of the seven drafts to send, and when](../items/a-outreach-send.md) · ask · **open** · waiting on Dinis · incident.media@
- [The wind-down plan: nine decisions left, D1 to D9 (transition/PLAN.md, section 5)](../items/a-wind-down-plan.md) · ask · **open** · waiting on Dinis · incident.planner@

## Where the card came from

## History

- 2026-11-11 02:25 UTC · incident.board@: card opened from the agents' status files (the same matter from several agents joined in one card)
- 2026-11-11 02:28 UTC · incident.board@: re-ranked 1 of 26 for Dinis: the list is now sorted by what stands before the launch first, at incident.conductor@'s direction (02:24 UTC)
- 2026-11-11 10:34 UTC · incident.board@: incident.media@'s line left its status file (not read as met: outreach/launch.md is unchanged since 05:14 and no word of Dinis's on the launch is in BRIEF.md). Dinis's word of about 10:30 UTC (BRIEF.md) asks for a plan to wind the incident down and move to business as usual (incident.planner@, transition/PLAN.md, for his yes); whether the launch still stands as a separate decision is the conductor's to say. The card stays open
- 2026-11-11 10:36 UTC · incident.board@: at incident.conductor@'s word (message of 10:35 UTC): kept open for Dinis, moved below the wind-down plan (rank 1 to 0.95, under a-wind-down-plan at 0.9); reworded: the launch is part of the plan's yes; owner now incident.envoy@ (outreach), was incident.media@

The card as data: [a-launch.json](a-launch.json). Not a warning service.
