You have to tell deciders what they need to know to decide. Don't queue them up for a research project or to go survey stakeholders on your behalf.
Deciders need at least to know the range of consequences and likelihoods, and when and how there will be new information or opportunities for monitoring/managing. Usually that means you also propose their management plan.
e.g., "I'm updating dependencies on Sunday. If it fails we'll roll-back, which is ~2 minutes of downtime (within this quarter's SLA). If it works, offshore will need to refresh their devenv, but we can reduce the security notice Monday. I'll preflight Saturday if you want to confirm with me Sunday beforehand, and I'll cc you on offshore/security go-ahead's."
