Send an update
Short, contextual, chronological. Nothing is published without approval.
How it works
Updates are sent by email. They’re shared privately with the right people in your circle, in sequence. No likes, no algorithms, no audience.
Step 1: Email your circle address
You’ll receive a private submission address for your circle (invite-only).
Step 2: Keep it short and real
A good update usually includes:
- What changed (a concrete event or new constraint)
- What you’re protecting (people, continuity, reputation, legacy)
- What you’re unsure about (where you want input)
- Timeline (if relevant)
Step 3: Approval
Nothing is published without approval. You’ll get an approval link before anything becomes part of the record.
Example update
To: update+your-circle-token@roundtable.example.com
From: your.email@example.com
Subject: Still unsure: step back in 12 months or 3 years
What changed: I had a conversation with staff this week — morale is my biggest concern right now.
What I’m protecting: continuity for the team and a handover that doesn’t feel like a rupture.
What I’m unsure about: whether I should start transitioning responsibilities now or wait until the next cycle.
Timeline: I want clarity before the end of Q2.
Guidelines
- Be specific. One real detail beats ten abstractions.
- Write as if there is no audience — only participants.
- If something is sensitive, keep it out until the right people are in the room.
