| Plomin Hard Fork Update             | Latest version of Node now ready for release 10.1.4                                                                                 | Recommendation for all SPOS and relays to upgrade to node version 10.1.4. - KH to update Comms            |
| Node Version Protocol Clarification | Clarified that node version 10.1.4 does not change the protocol version but enables readiness for version 10 with added safeguards. | Ensure significant majority of nodes are upgraded before the hard fork. Update release notes accordingly. |
| Community Member Testing            | Recognition that some members of the community have made during testing phase ahead of Plomin HF                                    | Public acknowledgment planned for contributors going forward. Explore establishing a bug bounty program.  |
| Hard Fork Readiness Metrics         | Agreement on importance of transparency  in communication to ensure at least 80% node upgrade before the fork.                      | Update communications to emphasize urgency and potential risks of not upgrading.                          |
| Maintenance of Tooling              | Proposal to support widely used open-source tools like Lucid and Coyos with maintenance funding.                                    | Aligns with existing working groups to triage and prioritize funding needs for critical tools.            |
| Maintenance Contract with IO        | Progress on defining business terms, fiscal audit processes, and reporting requirements.                                            | Finalize business terms by end of the week and submit to Intersect for legal processing.                  |
| Tooling Working Group Proposal      | Discussion on whether TSC or OSC should manage this initiative and ensure cross-disciplinary collaboration.                         | Proposal for OSC to lead, with TSC and Product Committee involvement for prioritization and oversight.    |
| Release Note Updates                | Current notes were vague and caused community confusion. Revised to clarify urgency and rationale for upgrades.                     | Updated release notes to specify potential DOS risks mitigated by node version 10.1.4.                    |

1. Upgrade to Node Version 10.1.4

* Decision: Ensure all SPOs and relays upgrade to version 10.1.4 before the hard fork.&#x20;
* Action: Update the release notes to clearly communicate the urgency and potential risks if upgrades are not performed.

2. Acknowledgment of Community Bug Finder

* Decision: Publicly recognize the community member who discovered the bug.
* Action: Include their contribution in official communications (with their consent).

3. Hard Fork Readiness Metrics

* Decision: Establish 80% node upgrade as the informal threshold for hard fork readiness.
* Action: Strengthen communications to encourage urgency without causing unnecessary panic.

4. Tooling Maintenance Initiative

* Decision: Recognize the need for dedicated support for open-source tools widely adopted by the Cardano community.
* Action: Align this initiative under the OSC, with input from the TSC and Product Committee.

5. Maintenance Contract with IOE

* Decision: Finalize terms for a new maintenance contract with IO to ensure continuity of services.
* Action: Submit heads of terms for Intersect review and start the legal process this week.

6. ClickUp Tool for TSC Management
