Security reporting policy.
Github now fully supports handling security bugs the way we want it to work.
The only concern was directing security bug reports to security@ mailing list instead of Github issues.
Can be solve with training materials.
@Christopher Ferris @David Huseby and @Ry Jones to create proposal to use it for security issues and a separate proposal for moving away from JIRA to Github issues entirely.
@James Barry @William Katsak to present part of their HGF talk (~25min)

What would a Hyplerledger stack look like today and tomorrow?
How can we decompose blockchains into constituent pieces to build up solutions for each workload.
We're already starting to see pluggable components breaking out (e.g. Transact and Ursa) but what about other pieces of blockchains?
Why don't we have well defined abstractions for consensus, crypto, block storage, smart contracts, etc...
Standardizing on API's would take serious effort and collaboration.
Quarterly updates
Comments by Duncan Johnston-Watt: concerned that there's a dependency on Splinter that is entirely governed by Cargill.
Splinter is Apache 2.0 licensed.
James Barry: multiple projects now depending on Splinter: Sawtooth, Grid, and Transact.
It looks like in this case these projects are built to run on top of Splinter instead of having a strong dependency on Splinter but the broader community is concerned that the dependency may become stronger.
This is something we'll probably have to look into closer.
