@kaitlin-beegle Can we link in what the proposed timeline is under the "v16 timeline confirmation" bullet?

[arajasek]

I'd like to provide updates about the v15 migration and functionality testing on Lotus, a "what to expect" of sorts.

Are we expecting to review/ discuss & assign priorities to the fips linked? (So many great stuff from the protocol dev teams and would be great if we can plot the most valuable ones to ntwk v17 to buy more advanced notice for the impl team

[jennijuju]

✅ ntwk v16 scope (FIPs included)

Chatted with @anorth and I’d like briefly touch point on ntwk v17 (mostly wanna ask impl teams to start review the fips and propose scope + upgrade timeline !
