Finance asked for a restatement of the freeze. We are holding headcount at fourteen through October. Any backfill needs Maya's written sign-off first. I can attach the spreadsheet if they want the names. The board packet already uses this wording — changing it now would reopen Q3. Send this only if Maya is fine with the October hold staying in the channel. Ping me if the wording should name the cost centre instead. Also list the open reqs, the date Maya signed, and that backfills pause until November so the owner can actually read this before Send.

Second hold: the LATAM follow-up should name the cost centre. Maya wants this in #finance before the packet goes out. Keep the October freeze wording identical to the board slide. I will not attach names unless she asks again. Confirm the channel is the right place before I send. This is the second of three held drafts in the stack. Repeat the freeze, the sign-off rule, and the ask for the spreadsheet so this body is long enough to scroll inside the stack.

Third hold: a shorter ask, still long enough to clamp. Please confirm headcount stays at fourteen through October. Any backfill still needs Maya's written sign-off first. I can attach the spreadsheet if they want the names. Do not publish until she pings. This is the last bubble in the held-draft stack. Keep the October wording, name the cost centre, and wait for Maya's ping so Send is not a blind publish of unread text.
