## Decisions waiting on Dinis {#decisions}

1. **Indi's patch** (WS-141): apply it? Recommended: yes, first.
2. **Push access** to this repository for Indi's and Vicky's GitHub accounts, so their agents publish their own desks' work instead of offering patches. Recommended: yes.
3. **The split** in [brief 4](../04-the-desks-and-the-run/index.html#owners): Indi the editorial side, Vicky the research and programme. Recommended: yes, and ask them.
4. **The six roles** (WS-141), as mapped in brief 4. Recommended: yes.
5. **The run's schedule** (four a day now, every two hours at the summit). Recommended: yes, from Thursday.
6. **The interviews' first five names**, from the team. Recommended: the programme desk proposes ten by Friday; Dinis picks.

Each answer is recorded in Dinis's own words, where and when, on the team's board.
