|||
| 21 | - It was agreed to review workflow this week. |
|||
| 22 | - Want to have something like this appear on the mailing list: |

|||
| 27 | - Dazo will reach out to cron2 about this to gather his feedback. |
|||
| 28 | ||||
| 29 | ### IPv6 to community |
|||
| 30 | - Cloudflare IPv6 compatibility is turned off on openvpn.net because the company is worried it might break something. |
|||
| 31 | - Community wants a date when this is resolved. |
|||
| 32 | - Novaflash working to get a date that the company will commit to. |
|||
| 33 | - Informally head of ops sees it as being turned on in 'about a month', but will work to get a date we can hold him to. |
|||

| 35 | ## Topics on standby |

|||
| 48 | - Coincidentally, in OpenVPN Inc a security requirement is to have an SBOM so this is on our list of things to do. |
