Answer:

Good Afternoon Neha,
I often recommend that people start their planning process by identifying key partners and customers.  In this situation, your CEO is your customer.  Also your partner in planning:
     how he/she wants to be accessed, and by whom,
     what requests for access to your CEO should be referred to others first,   
     identifying the kinds of issues most important to keep him/her informed about,  and
     pending travel plans and preferred travel arrangements.
Ask your CEO for meeting time to discuss these (and any other important) issues and how they should be handled.  
Based upon what you hear, come back to your CEO with a preliminary outline.  Get confirmation or identify changes that will meet the CEOs needs.
Put the plan into operation as a "pilot study" for a month, and then request another meeting to identify and make any further changes needed.
I suggest that the plan include both what you communicate to your CEO, and also how your CEO can most efficiently keep you informed of his/her needs.
Sounds like you have an interesting and exciting new job situation.  Be confident in your own skills.  Best wishes from CTB!
