Because I do a lot of outreach I'm on the school Recruitment, Outreach and Public Relations committee (though I am not an outreach, publicity or admissions officer for any of the departments in the school). The committee has decided to get involved in a Moon Landing anniversary event, which I can not attend, and Electrical Engineering have designed a special pop-up banners for the event explaining how space exploration has driven their field. The head of the outreach committee has emailed me to tell me to design a computer science banner for the event. I have decided not to do this (not my event, not my idea, I have better things to do with my time) but I would like to minimise the chance of this blowing up into some kind of drama.

Delegate to two people who might vaguely be considered my minions and will be attending the event.
5 (38.5%)
Delegate to the Computer Science outreach officer even though I know they don't want to do it, won't be attending the event and are more than likely to cause tiresome drama.

Don't do it and reply with "I forgot" or "I ran out of time" if called upon to answer for not doing it at a later date.
