• ACTION:  Ry to connect with Baohua for onboarding Cello
• Chris Ferris to drive forward CII Security Badge discussion
• Need a formal process (response and escalation for remediating vulnerabilities) once Security Maven is hired.
• Also look at security scans, both from code and penetration, as well as other aspects.
• Some discussion about incorporating code scanning into CI.  But, would need tools available for this (Hyperledger may need to purchase).
• Discussion ensued regarding independent peer review of projects (advisory role, not a gating mechanism).
• Formalizing a function that WGs can provide peer review -- deferring to WG Charter discussions next week.
• Hackfests

• Each project to send a monthly update for the 3rd TSC meeting of the month (Todd to send a reminder).  Paragraph or bullet points are both acceptable.
• Comms tools
• Talked last year about various alternatives to Slack -- but, didn’t pan out effectively.  Cannot afford enterprise version of Slack.
• ACTION:  Ry to check in with LF IT on cost associated with hosting Rocket.Chat
