INFO: there is a change proposal for the Anaconda Web UI Partitioning interface (https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3272). the discussion has been ongoing for quite some time and we voted yesterday and it was a tie, so we have decided to punt this one down the road and continue conversation with the installer team. the core issue is the installer team wants to modify the UI which would result in a loss of a lot of functionality we deem important in Fedora. but the installer team is in a difficult position having to prioritize RHEL-10 work and deal with a reduced size team. we [Fedora] have been here before and have been able to push back against RHEL planning such that we can reprioritize work on core components, but this one will be difficult (@dcantrell:fedora.im, 14:10:23)

INFO: Feedback: Do not use shorthand or abbreviations in an official policy document (e.g. "wrt") (@jflory7:fedora.im, 14:15:43)
INFO: Feedback: Hackfests should be omitted from this policy because it may have the unintended impact of forcing or appearing to force hackfest organizers to organize their hackfest in North America and Europe, which could be unintentionally exclusive. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 14:23:04)
INFO: Feedback: The focus on visas and passport privilege needs more clarity. There is a wide range of opinions expressed during the Council meeting. misc and Jona Azizaj (she/her) are encouraged to connect this feedback into the policy draft and reach out if there are clarifications needed on Council input. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 14:26:20)
ACTION: mattdm submit the above (or some slightly-reworded variant) as a Policy Change as per The Process. (@mattdm:fedora.im, 14:27:34)
AGREED: Fedora events must be open and welcoming to all. The Fedora Council asks the DEI team to develop specific policies for the location of Flock, our annual contributor conference. You can find the current approved policy at [link]. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 14:27:52)

AGREED: The Fedora Council will meet with CPE ARC team during the week of October 14th to walk through the work to date and get a better understanding of whats been covered, and left to do.
