+- Action items have been moved into a separate [document][action-items-doc].
+- [Fixing the error trait][fix-error-trait] seems to have fallen off the radar, perhaps because no one is available to lead it.
+- No progress on addressing the error in `rust-sv`.
+- No follow up on blog metrics.
+- Adding Backtrace to `core` had lots of discussion (i.e. suggestions on implementation approaches), though no implementation progress yet.
+- Discussion with the Libs team re. the `Error` trait led to a consensus that the primary role of the trait is for formatting, not downcasting; decided on a guidance for source vs. display.
+- Green light on changes to make error formatting more consistent.
+    - Adding a `panic_error` function similar to `panic_any` (though this might depend on moving the `Error` trait to `core`).
+- No progress made on brainstorming topics for the `Error` book
+    - Setup a Doodle to figure out what time works for those who are interested in attending a brainstorming session.
+- [Termination trait][termination-trait] seems to be waiting on generic member access.
+    - Also needs more design work re. how the final version of `Termination` should look.
+- No progress on object provider.
+- No follow up on error codes
+    - Hold off on this until more progress has been made on the `Termination` trait.
+- Drop the "better assert messages" issue since someone more knowledgable about it has decided to pick it up.
+- [Backtrace frames][backtrace-frames] PR is ready to be merged.
+- Progress made on the [2021 panic][2021-panic] implementation, though we aren't explicitly tracking this issue as it's being directly implemented by Mara on the Libs team.
+- Proposal for an `Issue Triage` thread dedicated to sorting issues under the group's purview as soon as they're found.
+    - Figure out how to use `@triagebot` to help stay on top of issues.

+# Meeting Minutes
+
+- Reviewing open action items:
+    - "Follow up on the 'Fix the Error trait' issue" is still unassigned: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53487
+        - Main thing that needs to happen is to remove the out of date items about the formatting repr for Backtrace.
+        - Assigned to DPC
+    - Regular meeting time was setup to work on the _Rust Error Book_.
+    - Followed up with Charles explaining `Sized` and `assert2`
+    - "Plan out changes needed to get `panic_error` added to std/core" assigned to Jane.
+
+- Action Items from the Previous Week
+    - [x] Hack session to work on the _Rust Error Book_.
+    - [ ] Follow up on `rust-sv` regression that was introduced with the `impl Error for &E: Error` change.
+    - [ ] Follow up with infra team to get readership statistics on how many people read the blog post: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2020/11/23/What-the-error-handling-project-group-is-working-on.html.
+    - Jane made progress on the "Backtrace in core" impl and is hoping to test it and start mass producing ICEs.
+    - oliver and Jane made good progress on "Dig deeper into the Backtrace in core PR": https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77384
+    - Jakub dug through and did some thinking on the "Termination trait polishing" issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43301#issuecomment-761900006
+        - May need to wait until the `Try` trait v2 RFC is further along since it may impact the design or impl of the Termination trait.
+        - Once generic member access is added, we can have the Termination impl alway check the `&dyn Error` type for an `ExitCode` to be used as the exit code when terminating.
+        - Ideally we'll want to see if we can minimize the dependency between Termination and the `ExitCode` so that Termination "just works" regardless of what extra functionality gets added to `ExitCode` down the line.
+
+- New Action Items Added
+    - Schedule recurring meeting for book impl / study session [Jane]
+    - Update API guidelines to add a section on implementing Display vs source: [unassigned]
+    - Create an issue detailing plan for specializing unwrap / expect for E: Error [Jane]
+    - Create an issue tracking the desire for an aborting interface for panics [unassigned]
+    - Create an issue for a non allocating interface for printing a Backtrace [unassigned]
+    - Create a diagram mapping out the pieces of error handling and how they relate for the book (e.g. Result, panic, Try, Error, etc) [unassigned]
+
+- Recurring _Rust Error Book_ session tentatively scheduled for 11 PST on Thursdays.
+- Add https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80851 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3058 to the list of PRs the group is watching.
