[keyvank]

If possible, I would like to discuss EIP-7503 and present the way it can be implemented on Ethereum clients.

Added to the agenda, @keyvank !

I would like to discuss a small update to 6780: after the verkle fork, the creation+deletion of a contract in the same transaction should leave the tree unchanged (as opposed to the current spec, in which a balance of 0 is written to the tree)

[shemnon]

Couter-proposal: ban SELFDESTRUCT post verkle, even within a transaction. Change it to SWEEP, where all current balance is swept out to the beneficiary.

(either is OK for me, but if we are going to totally ban SELFDESTRUCT I think the verkle trie transition is our best opportunity)

Added @gballet @shemnon 👍
