  • From Grace - We agreed on Option 2 for how to resolve who are mainnet maintainers in the Incentive program.

  • Release updates and Improvements: Generally agreed we need to improve this process. Sajida was going to act as PoC from CSI side. 

    • See below for Release Rotations 2022. It seems releases have improved and no longer using proprietary tooling. 

    • One idea: Should we move canary nodes onto Hyperledger instance rather than a CSI run instance? Should we consider running a testnet?

      • Action: @Karim Taamto provide write up of requirements and share in besu-contributors for feedback. Then can discuss in TSC?

    • RC 2 is scheduled for next week. @Gary Schulteis on point to manage it. 

    • JF: Helpful to have an extra week in between RC-1 and RC-2 to fix a few things. Some CSI team will be in DevConnect in Amsterdam. Not expecting an issue for the release process, but will let group know if they need help.
