[CarlBeek]

Please can we add EIP-7587 to the agenda. It reserves the 0x100 to 0x1ff address range for RIP precompiles as we discussed on ACDE-177: #921.

@CarlBeek yes. I don't have permissions to update Tim's post, but will make a local note of it.

Suggesting 7553 for discussion:
ethereum/EIPs@127988e?short_path=41459de#diff-41459deea2791d37cd24d9139a73beacd8e7bad2aaaa194db237754a0b8951d6

ethereum/EIPs#7949

[poojaranjan]

Can we briefly discuss the RIP process and process documentation if time permits? I have some questions and would appreciate pointers to move forward with, if possible:

• Should the Rollup proposal be added as "Standard Track - Core" or should there be a new category "Standard Track - RIP" for these proposals?

• If/when that RIP will be considered to be deployed on the Ethereum mainnet, will it follow any different process than other EIPs considered for an upgrade? (Considering the proposal is already in "Final" status and may not accept any specs change even if suggested during testing with other EIPs.)

• Should we move the file for EIP-7212 out of EIPs GitHub Repo as it is now being pursued as a Rollup proposal instead of an "Ethereum mainnet" proposal?

If we choose, "Standard Track - Core" for RIP proposals, we must consider updating EIP-1 according to which

Standard Track - Core are improvements requiring a consensus fork as well as changes that are not necessarily consensus critical but may be relevant to “core dev” discussions.

I'd appreciate the client devs' and EIP/RIP Editors' responses. Thanks!

I would like to discuss the Besu Mainnet halting event on January 6th. I would also like to discuss the Reddit AMA with misrepresented performance numbers, impacting the perception of minority clients.

@non-fungible-nelson I just opened #939 for this week's call. Will add this to the agenda!
