RESF Monday Cutover — Finalized 3 PM PT Execution Plan

Situation

Finalized the RESF infrastructure cutover plan for Monday March 16 at 3 PM PT, including DNS NS record flip, AWS VPC firewalling, account disabling (Lewis, Neal), and security audit — accepting up to 24 hours of DNS-related downtime.

Reasoning

Security takes priority over community continuity in crisis. Establishing control before the board meeting means acting from a position of strength. DNS downtime is an acceptable tradeoff vs leaving hostile actors with access. The wall-clock time coordinates non-CIQ personnel (Duncan, Fastly) and the Zoom war room ensures real-time coordination.

Additional Context

Culmination of weeks of RESF planning. Board meeting at 4 PM PT same day. Mustafa confirmed for midnight Oslo time. 3-day Koji rebuild as worst-case contingency.

Observed Evidence

RESF Sync meeting with 11 attendees — detailed planning of DNS strategy, security lockdown, Koji contingency. Confirmed across Nathan 1:1, Ryan 1:1, Sarah sync, Steve 1:1.
