Public participation

We stream our conference call straight to YouTube so anyone can listen to it live, it should start playing at https://www.youtube.com/c/nodejs+foundation/live when we turn it on. There's usually a short cat-herding time at the start of the meeting and then occasionally we have some quick private business to attend to before we can start recording & streaming. So be patient and it should show up.

nodejs/node#59096 can likely be skipped on this weeks TSC call to give it a few more days to see if consensus can be reached on it. There are already a handful of +1's and a single -1. If we can't clear the objection before next week's TSC call then I'll ask the TSC to decide. (I'd much rather us spend the time discussing the future of the release cycle)
