Thank you for providing your opinions on this situation. Do you think it is reasonable for us to post our response on April 17? If so, we will notify Sinergia by email.
I think a week from today is a good amount of review time, but I think the key thing is to be clearer in setting expectations in the future.
(I’d also recommend, as I wrote above, apologizing to Sinergia for misunderstanding their earlier request and giving them a very short time to review.)
Again I’d say it depends on whether anything bad happens the longer you wait—I’d personally want to make sure I’d got feedback from Sinergia before I published. Sounds like they are quite happy to look at it with a fairly short turnaround, but my first step would be to send the piece to them and ask them how long they need to properly respond to it.
I’d be open to Singeria requesting a further extension based on specific personnel reasons, such as previously planned vacation or illness of a key employee, or particularly significant program commitments (e.g., a key employee is testifying before a national legislature or meeting with a key processor executive soon).
I would apply a lower bar for an extension request than this in most cases. Here, I think VettedCauses does have a moderately significant, case-specific reason to push for promptness—the effect of Singeria’s response to VC’s review on VC’s reputation. That interest is presumably of little importance to Singeria, so it is less likely to weigh it very much in deciding how much time to request.
