Please announce such meetings with more than ~24 hours notice -- this has happened several times and while I recognize the pace of development on this issue I think that slotting a consensus meeting with less than 24 hours is inappropriate.

I think we should proactively postpone it a week so that there isn't an arbitrary "too low turnout" measure and instead anyone who really wants to be present for the meeting can plan to be.

So as not to lose momentum on having a discussion, I propose to plan to hold a general discussion tomorrow at that time and a meeting (with the intent of resolving issues in a more binding way) next week. It may be a good idea to hold the time slot every other week for the next while so that we can avoid this 24 hour thing altogether.

It sucks to lose another week but a precedent of 24 hour notice meetings for non urgent changes is very negative.

(This isn't any comment on if ST is OK or not -- the schedules proposed for ST thus far seem acceptable to me)

Best,

Jeremy

At the previous meeting, there was consensus for BIP8 activation parameters
except for LOT, assuming a release around this time. Since then, a release
has not occurred, and the new idea of Speedy Trial has been proposed to
preempt the original/main activation plan.

It's probably a good idea to meet up again to discuss these things and adjust
accordingly.

Agenda:

- Speedy Trial: Can we get a comparable consensus on the proposal?
  (Note: current draft conflicts with original plan timeline)

- Main activation, post ST: Moving startheight (and timeoutheight?) later
  is probably a good idea at this point, both because too little progress has
  been made on it, and to avoid the conflict with the current ST draft.

- Making progress: To date, too few people have been involved in materialising
  the main activation plan. If it's going to move forward, more people need to
  get actively involved. This should not wait for ST to complete, unless we
  want another 4-5 month slip of the timeline.

This meeting is tentatively scheduled for *tomorrow*, March 16th at the usual
time of 19:00 UTC, in freenode's ##Taproot-activation IRC channel. If turnout
is too low, we can postpone it a week, but it'd be nice to get things
resolved and moving sooner.

As a reminder, the channel is also open for ongoing discussion 24/7, and there
is a web chat client here:
