+
+- Intros, agreement, note taking volunteers and agenda review
+- Yaacov: discuss PR merge procedures
+  - Link to PR https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/pull/4172
+  - Yaacov: we need flexibility in the merging policies
+  - Yaacov: currently we need two reviews and wait two weeks so interested parties can review it
+  - Yaacov: the rule would only be for medium-large PR’s (recommendation)
+  - Yaacov: small changes would go along faster
+  - Yaacov: purposefully vague about what is small-medium-large, people with merge permissions can have their own opinion.
+  - Jovi: I think the main things that need waiting time/more reviews are spec-changes/new features
+  - Lenz: will leave comment for getting to non-controversial wording
+- Yaacov: how to handle existing discrepancies between main/v17-alpha and v16
+  - The main point coming down to, do we keep going the way we do by manually forwardporting or do we use merge commits
+  - The clean diff for v15 vs v16 is also not there due to backporting commits going into v16
+- Action items
+  - Yaacov to check whether there are any mandates from the linux foundation around merge processes
+  - Yaacov to double check with the GraphQL JS discord
