I would like routine updates on [type of engagement] at [frequency], bringing together completed work, pending tasks and matters requiring my reply. Can this be arranged, and what alternatives are available if that frequency is not possible? How will time-limited matters or those needing a prompt reply be notified separately, through which channel, and with a clear date for my action? They should not wait for the next summary. I am not setting or changing legal deadlines or authorising additional work.
