Set Google GDC meeting strategy: build direct relationship and manage attendee roles

Situation

Peter decided to attend the Google GDC executive meeting himself (without Greg), bringing Max, Brady, and Nathan. Will personally manage Nathan's participation to protect Brady's roadmap presentation. Kelly directed to tell Google 'Peter has this covered.'

Reasoning

Peter wants to build a direct relationship with Google so he can manage them more readily going forward. Having Brady present the roadmap establishes CIQ's technical credibility. Nathan stays involved but managed — present for context but not disrupting Brady's ownership of the presentation.

Additional Context

Google GDC on-site meeting scheduled for Feb 23-24. Key topics: mutual roadmap exchange, Kernel Light/kpatch feasibility, Rocky 8.6 ELTS extension request, exec session with Madhu (Sr. Director of GDC). First CIQ exec meeting with GDC in 2 years.

Observed Evidence

Fathom summary from Kelly/Peter meeting states Peter will attend exec meeting, manage Nathan, and Kelly will tell Google 'Peter has this covered.' Slack #department-heads has Kelly's detailed GDC agenda post.
