I know that @5chdn had mentioned that he will be in Paris and wants to discuss, but as of right now, the timeline is too tight to for this.
So, with the context of roadmap timing in mind again, it looks like May 17th is the hard deadline to accept proposals.
@5chdn @souptacular @Arachnid @fulldecent from your points of view, does this mean EIPs in state “Accepted” by May 17th, at which point there is discussion / planning to add them to EIP 1679 Istanbul hardfork Meta or not?
(1) Which means that before then, the EIP must be in Draft, brought up at a CoreDevs agenda, and acknowledged to be Accepted if non-controversial?
Or (2), the EIP must be in Draft, and a PR against 1679 to propose it for inclusion? PR remains open until such time implementations of two major clients are completed, EIP itself could be Draft or Accepted.
If so, I would suggest – if there is need / interest in meeting in person – that a meeting happen no later than April 17th, 2019, one month before the proposal deadline.
Who is interested in hosting / helping organize?
