Can you discuss:
Add @abcoathup as a trial ERC editor: ethereum/EIPs#6575 (comment)
Or automate EIP number issuing.

I'm keen for PRs to get merged quickly and number issuance is one of the blockers.

The time of the meeting isn't compatible with living in Australia, so unfortunately can't attend.

Topic: can we also add this to agenda: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/discussion-of-criteria-for-advancing-eip-status-a-straw-man-proposal/11995

Update: meeting brief notes about this

1. Generally in favor of creating a guideline (but not a criteria) for EIP to advance status
2. Generally in favor of seeing implementations for last call and final as a signal for community interest
3. Mentioned that having multiple implementations might not sufficiently demonstrate independence between them but lacking implementations could be seen as a signal of lack of community interest

@xinbenlv @lightclient @SamWilsn participated in discussion. Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Topic: ethereum/EIPs#5682

Update: meeting brief about this

No consensus formed, call for more input from more stakeholders

Options
(1) having a L1 Privacy Consideration
(2) having a L1 Other Considerations as catch all for authors to put in considerations not fit in other sections.
(3) having an "Appendix" to be used for privacy

1. @SamWilsn and @lightclient personally object all of (1), (2) and (3)
2. @xinbenlv and @gcolvin personally support (2). Also, @xinbenlv individually also support (1), @gcolvin individually supports (3).

EIP editors call for more input from stakeholders before we could move forward on this topic.

@xinbenlv @lightclient @SamWilsn @gcolvin participated in discussion. Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

I think you meant L2 instead of L1. L1 is the title :)

Anyway, you missed:

(4) having a L2 "Considerations" heading with L3 "Security Considerations" and "Privacy Considerations" subheadings.
(5) having "Privacy Considerations" as an 'official' L3 subheading of the L2 "Security Considerations" heading.

I am +1 to (1), (4), or (5); +0 to (2) as a subheading of (4), replacing the privacy considerations; and -0 to (3).
