Section 21
§21 — Next Steps
Status: DRAFT
Principle: The CEO leaves this document with a short list of decisions to make and a clear sequence for the next 90 days.
21.1 The three decisions for the CEO
These are the asks. Everything else in this document is groundwork.
1. Endorse the Master Operating Document framework — adopt this as the L4 quarterly artifact, the §22 register as the single source of operational truth, and the L3 monthly memo cadence (§18).
2. Authorize the §8 Phase A trigger sequence — including the Operating Lead search opening on endorsement of this document.
3. Endorse the operating posture in §10 (NBCU), §11 (GovRel), §15 (Brand), §18 (Reporting), §20 (Third-party) as written.
That's the full ask. No incremental capital. No public announcement. No structural change.
21.2 What happens in the first 30 days post-endorsement
| Day | Action | Owner seat |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Master doc enters L4 cadence; §22 register live | Officer |
| 1 | Operating Lead search opens | Officer |
| 1–7 | First L3 monthly memo template confirmed with CEO | Officer |
| 1–14 | First closeout request packet to relevant parties (§19) | Officer + outside counsel |
| 7–14 | GovRel cadence formalized with CDCID + adjacent CIDs | GovRel (interim: Officer) |
| 14–21 | NBCU quarterly partnership review framework proposed | Officer |
| 21–30 | First quarterly refresh of master doc (or scheduled) | Officer |
21.3 What happens in the first 90 days
- Operating Lead candidate slate or hire (gating Phase A → Phase B).
- First L3 monthly memo issued.
- §22 register reaches a steady state of ~50–80 open items being worked actively.
- Closeout package responses received from at least the highest-priority §19 entries.
- First scheduled quarterly refresh of this document.
21.4 What we deliberately do NOT do in the first 90 days
- We do not announce anything publicly that isn't already public.
- We do not push capital decisions before the L3 memo cadence is established.
- We do not approach NBCU with structural changes.
- We do not approach JLL beyond the side-memo Path A (if endorsed).
- We do not begin a public branding refresh.
The 90-day discipline is internal solidification, not external action.
21.5 The 6–12 month horizon (preview only)
- Hotel JV term-sheet conversation (Phase B trigger for Hospitality Lead seat).
- Stage 5 immersive partner conversations (per §14, §17).
- The Pringle (amphitheater) operator decision.
- Phase II next-component capital paper (separate from this document).
- Second annual review (L5).
21.6 Open items
- CONFIRM Endorsement of the three asks above.
- CONFIRM Quarterly refresh date.
- CONFIRM Distribution list for this document (recommendation: officer + CEO only initially; expanded only with explicit CEO approval).
The shape of this section: short, sequenced, low-drama. That is the platform's operating posture in miniature.
