Observers/Guests
Notes
The agenda comes from issues labelled with tsc-agenda across all of the repositories in the nodejs org. Please label any additional issues that should be on the agenda before the meeting starts.

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.
Many of us will be on IRC in #node-dev on Freenode if you'd like to interact, we have a Q/A session scheduled at the end of the meeting if you'd like us to discuss anything in particular. @nodejs/collaborators in particular if there's anything you need from the TSC that's not worth putting on as a separate agenda item, this is a good place for that.

Moderation Team activity: Discussions of some activities/reports, but no moderation actions taken. (@nodejs/moderation Correct me if I'm wrong!) For example, in one case, an individual self-moderated before the Moderation Team took action.

Promises:
There are some discussion around Thenable and AsyncLocalStorage in nodejs/node#33189.
Promise hooks (used by async_hooks) are going to get faster by nodejs/node#32891.
Qard commentedon May 5, 2020
I'm happy to join any discussion about nodejs/node#33189, or to start a separate discussion, to explain why the current state of thenables is such an issue and to work out how to deal with the problem. It's a fairly complex issue that is not adequately solved by any of the existing "fixes" we have and the nuance and complexity makes it difficult to explain adequately in text.
mmarchini commentedon May 6, 2020
(Sharing here for visibility)
If you have any comments on the proposed unhandled rejection survey, please share it in the PR: #857. It would be good to move forward with the survey so we can unblock nodejs/node#33021.

mhdawson commentedon May 6, 2020
@mcollina do you think we should discuss nodejs/node#33189 in the meeting and invite @Qard ?
mcollina commentedon May 6, 2020
I think the discussion is progressing on the issue. I only posted it here because @Trott asked for an update.
jasnell commentedon May 6, 2020
QUIC update: There is no update this week. Work progress on separating bits out that can be separated out.
jasnell commentedon May 6, 2020
And just a heads up, there is private business to discuss.
BridgeAR commentedon May 7, 2020
I am going to be a bit late.
