You can see that the LLC Board has an agenda item to start discuss it on our next call on August 7 [1]. We had some initial discussion some months back about whether to work on an environmental impact policy as part of our initial set of organizational policies and did not end up prioritizing it given the rest of the bootstrapping effort, but it’s certainly worth coming back to. Thanks for taking this up on the agenda, and to all those who chimed in during the discussion who shared views. > > Some of the concerns you raise are more about what the community wants and needs as far as meeting cadence, which puts them less in the purview of the LLC and more in the purview of the IESG as far as synthesizing what the community is looking for. Therefore I’ve started a discussion within the IESG about this. > An even busier lot!
