Summary

1. Discuss Open Issues/PRs, and other topics

https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/7549

• Revaluate the proposal in the next meeting, if we want to do it
• Simplify and get rid of the complexities which are there now.

https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/7541

• @shemnon has some concerns. According to him, it is great for history but wondering if it is put in as a part of the presented specification, as it might bend room for arguments.
• @g11tech suggested the option of having a side pane to improve the EIP reading experience.
• @xinbenlv suggested having a competing website and users may choose.
• A/B testing was also proposed
• Continue discussion on the Issue.

Consider adopting a Community Specification License terms for the new ERC repo ethereum/EIPs#7482

• @SamWilsn was curious to understand the difference from the present license we have.
• @bumblefudge shared about Community Specification License
• It's a very lightweight IP protection. At the moment, CC0 does not protect against patents.
• @shemnon suggested that we must get the opinion of lawyers.
• Sam may talk to somebody at the EF.
• Victor will also collect thoughts from ERC authors at AllERCDev meeting.

https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/7554

• @shemnon summarized the discussion point.
• @Pandapip1 shared his objection at the very end of the discussion. It seems he is okay with the repo split but holds on to the website split.
• @lightclient - We have already agreed upon the repository naming in earlier meetings.
• Most of the editors on the call were in favor of having different rendering websites for EIPs and ERCs. The split will proceed as decided in the earlier EIPIP meeting.
• It was suggested to have redirect canonical links for ERCs, if possible.
• @bumblefudge offered to help if the redirects per-moved-spec are hard to implement in Jekyll
• PR closed

Changes to Final proposals

Update EIP-721: Add ERC links ethereum/EIPs#7550

• @SamWilsn reviewed the pull request. There could be a minor change but it seems acceptable.
• @shemnon mentioned having a policy in place to update Final EIPs will be good to have.
• It will be left open for the next 2 weeks, if no one blocks, it can be merged.

2. Discussion continued or updates from past meetings

EIP-ERC GitHub repositories

• @SamWilsn ratified the decision-making process.
• @xinbenlv is also in support of 5069. Most of the people were in support in the last meeting.
• Sam nominated Gajinder for the “Keeper of Consensus” The type of EIP will also be changed.
• Formal process for decision making
  • Post a “call for input” on EIPIP GitHub
  • Post in channels frequented by EIPP editors
  • 30 days after this is posted, the decision is made based on the input from all the editors.
