I don’t understand what a “request to check on deadlines” is. Were they requesting an extension of time to respond to the clarifying questions?
Based on the limited information provided, I would not publish tomorrow. 24 hours is not that much time from seeing the draft article to turn around a response, especially when the particular 24-hour period was not selected in consultation with the charity. Unless there is a breaking-news element to the draft article, I would routinely grant more than 24 hours to comment on it. To me, that is enough to forbear from publishing tomorrow without getting into the [edit: delete lost] e-mail issue at all. Opining on how long of an extension would be appropriate would require knowing a lot more information about the organization, the article, and the clarifying questions.
Hi Jason, thank you for your insights. We have decided not to post the article today to respect the charity’s wishes as reasonably as we can.
We did not mention this in our initial post since we did not yet have permission from the charity (Sinergia) to post the emails. Now that we have permission, the full context regarding the “request to check on deadlines” can be found here (we don’t want to strawman what Sinergia meant when they said this).
To me, that is enough to forbear from publishing tomorrow without getting into the lost e-mail issue at all.
Also, to clarify, Sinergia has indicated to us that no email was lost.
