• Congratulations Dan! And thanks for all you have done to support the work of the Jakarta EE Spec Committee!!

• Scheduling of future meetings

• Previously it was decided to alternate the start time of the call between 13:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC to increase participation from Asian members, it was commented that participation in the 13:00 calls is lower and in particular we miss the reps from the US west coast

• Proposal is to revert back to 16:00 UTC

• Discussion from reps was a preference for 16:00, albeit for Kenji in Japan, the alternating call is preferred however he is willing to accommodate the 16:00 call.

• Ratify in the call in 2 weeks time, in the interim input is welcome on the mailing list and directly to the committee chair

• Dmitry noted that Oracle is going to initiate a request to create a new specification project for gRPC (https://grpc.io/) in either Jakarta or MicroProfile
