That's nice of them, who was it?

Looks like Elrond's scribe wrote them but a few people contributed.

Well, she updates the outline in response and then goes on.

It's a war conference; war conferencing occurs. Some Dwarves and some Hobbits, with Men to clear the passage through human territory and an Elf and a Maia escort for the first, safer leg of the trip agree to take the ring to Orodruin. Olórin can't contact Valinor but he thinks Curuno might know how to do it.

That one she hasn't met.

Olórin's heading out to find him right now. 

"Thank you."

"Of course. It would be very valuable for the Valar to know how to be helpful."

He does not return when expected.

"How are the notes coming - we can have a copy go with the people leaving for Valinor presently - unless you want to be among them -"

"- when will the next reasonable opportunity be?"

"Couple months. Lots of people are leaving."

"I'll wait. Maybe Olórin was - merely delayed. The broad strokes and a list of people who might be good at using them are all down."

"People I might know?"

"Rúmil you wouldn't have met but may have heard of, though if this one cares to take up the work I can't guess - I don't know if you have copies of some of them at all - no one I am sure you've met. Maitimo would have been on there but I must assume him dead and in no condition anyway."

"- probably not, no. I think even apart from the language ban he did not care for the Quenya after Angband, for what that's worth."

"I suppose I should use the difference to distinguish the two of them anyway."

He nods. They wait for Olórin. 

He does not arrive in the next month.

"Where was he going exactly?"

"Orthanc. Where Curuno lives and gathers strength for the war - it would not have fallen already without notice -"

"How would you get notice?"

"An army'd have to go through Gondor to get there, and there'd have been messengers if Gondor fell - and then through Rohan, and likewise - and Curuno himself should have been able to flee -"

"You're confident the messengers wouldn't have been prevented?"

"It's not inconceivable but the borders are hundreds of miles, it'd be very very hard to block news coming north -"

"I can't make any predictions of Curuno since I didn't meet even his alternate universe version..."
