Bump! If you have anything you want to discuss, please let me know. If there's nothing by 24 hours before the meeting, we will cancel.

To recap, the big design questions right now are: 1) what TLS mechanism we will go with, 2) how strong/weak we should make the GC semantics for shared->unshared edges, and 3) how precisely shared-suspendable and shared-fixed functions as well as shared-barrier should work.

For (1), I think we need to get implementer feedback and more information about (2). For (2), we mostly need signals from the SpiderMonkey and JSC teams about how much work implementing strong semantics would be and from users about how usable weak semantics would be. And for (3) we need more clarity about how stack switching will develop as well as user feedback.

Let's go ahead and cancel the March 19 meeting. We can reuse this issue for the April 2 meeting instead.

No agenda for the April 2 meeting, either. Bumping this to April 16.

Bumping again to April 30.
