Your prompt

6 placeholders left
I have been invited to (or am considering scheduling) the following meeting:

Meeting title: {{meeting_title}}
Stated purpose: {{stated_purpose}}
Attendees: {{attendees}}
Duration: {{duration}}
My role in the meeting: {{my_role}}
What I know about the background: {{background}}

Evaluate whether this meeting is necessary using these criteria:
1. Could this be resolved with a well-written async message or document instead?
2. Is a decision actually required, or is this a status update?
3. Am I the right person to attend, or should I send a delegate?
4. Is 100% of the attendee list necessary, or can some be removed?

Give me a clear recommendation: Attend / Decline / Propose Async / Shorten. Then write a polite message for whichever action is recommended.
