## Meeting

### Grant Discussions

The Members spent the majority of the meeting reviewing potential grant initiatives. The Members voted unanimously to advance discussions on the presented opportunities.

### GIP & Protocol Updates

A Foundation member raised attention to the Arbitration Charter and that it may soon be coming up for a vote to ratify. As arbitration cases have emerged in the protocol more frequently in recent weeks, the community strongly benefits from a prompt attention to a vote by every Member. Likewise, Batch GNS Transactions may also soon be presented for Council voting.
