None of the above.

Good lord, hasn't *everyone* on this list been in that situation? You go
to your boss (unless you're the boss -- see below), and you lay out the
situation. *Don't* complain, just lay out the facts as you know them.
Your goal is not to assign blame, but rather to find the best solution
possible under the circumstances.

Most solutions involve at least one of these:
	a. Setting a new deadline
	b. Redefining the required information
	c. Contacting "unavailable" people

These are business decisions. That's why there's a boss. If it's you, it
wouldn't be a bad idea to find a Wise Employee to consult with before
making your decision.
