Draft for the people we are meeting on Wednesday (a person sends)
No names here. Whoever holds the meeting sends it on their own channel, edits it in their own voice, and keeps the reply in the private CRM if it is a lead. Facts as of 20:02 UTC (facts.md).
Send now: Wednesday is off, move to Thursday or a call (from F8)
Hi [name], as you may have heard, Web Summit has called off tomorrow, Wednesday, because of the storm, on the government's advice. They say Thursday goes ahead as planned.
Shall we move our [meeting / demo / chat] to Thursday at [time], or do it as a call [tomorrow at the same time / when suits you]? Whatever is easiest for you. Stay safe tomorrow.
If Thursday is also called off (not the case now: F9)
Hi [name], with Thursday off as well, could we do it as a call instead? Here are a few times: [times]. Sorry not to meet in person.
Rules
- Thursday is planned by the organisers' word in the press ("aims to proceed", an aim; F9); if Web Summit's own channels say otherwise, use the fallback.
- No advice beyond the authorities' (F5 is an appeal, not an order).
- One message per person; no group sends. Nobody named here.
Superseded
Version A (confirm, and offer a way out), written at 18:45 when nothing had been announced, is withdrawn by F8.
