RESF Communication & Information Control Strategy

Situation

Established multi-layered communication control for RESF transition: (1) Posted own #engineering message with different language than Greg's draft, emphasizing visibility requirement. (2) Told eng-management nobody talks on RESF Zoom calls because RESF members can hear. (3) Asked Lindsay to confirm no social media leaks. (4) Told Max to keep RESF off Department Heads agenda Thursday.

Reasoning

Managing two distinct audiences simultaneously: internal CIQ (needs clear direction and guardrails) and RESF community (must not feel CIQ is taking over). Zoom silence prevents accidental statements that could spook RESF volunteers. Keeping RESF off Dept Heads prevents unproductive speculation from people who don't need to be problem-solving this. Social monitoring protects external narrative. Consistent with prior decisions to use controlled Slack posts over open-ended AMAs.

Additional Context

Louis Abel departed RESF. RESF Open Zoom running all day Monday with CIQ and RESF community members. Peter traveling (SFO→Reno), managing communications remotely while juggling H1 review, board meeting, GTC, Toyota.
