| 21 | +## Agenda |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Announcements |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +* Rich - release yesterday |
| 26 | +* Rich - new collaborators, Ben has rejoined the project. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### CPC and Board Meeting Updates |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +*Extracted from **tsc-agenda** labeled issues and pull requests from the **nodejs org** prior to the meeting. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +* Rich - no CPC meeting this week, topic was on Security. Talked about how to secure Node.js |
| 33 | + and JavaScript ecosystem. |
| 34 | +* Board meeting tomorrow, nothing on my list to bring on Node.js front. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### nodejs/node |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +* doc: move bnoordhuis back to collaborators [#42064](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42064) |
| 39 | + * welcome back ! |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +* doc: deprecate `crypto.getRandomValues` alias [#41779](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41779) |
| 42 | + * Antoine |
| 43 | + * 2 crypto modules, Node one and WebCrypto |
| 44 | + * Alias was added getRandomValues |
| 45 | + * James only in the repl where the Node crypto is a global (also when using -p and |
| 46 | + -e). In other places only the WebCrypto is global. |
| 47 | + * getRandomValues was added as an alias to the WebCrypto version to make it easier to |
| 48 | + use. |
| 49 | + * If we agree that if there is to be a global it should be WebCrypto then we could deprecate |
| 50 | + the Node.crypto |
| 51 | + * James we have a process |
| 52 | + * Runtime deprecate Node crypto being exposed as global in repl |
| 53 | + * Antoine, flag already existing in 17.x to expose WebCrypto as global |
| 54 | + * Colin, how about hanging off global object. In all places we make them a global, add |
| 55 | + a global that additional modules are then added to. |
| 56 | + * James node global makes sense, just in general. Having platform specific global |
| 57 | + * Needs to be taken through a deprecation cycle |
| 58 | + * Ruben it might break a lot of user code where scripts in package.json files use the current globals |
| 59 | + * Nikita, keep current behavior, use three step process (for repl): |
| 60 | + 1. keep the current behavior by default which is consistent with const crypto = require(crypto). |
| 61 | + `global.crypto` would be Web Crypto, just `crypto` in repl would be Node.js crypto. |
| 62 | + 2. add a `node` global in repl, as suggested above, so both `node.fs` and `fs` could be used |
| 63 | + 3. add a flag to disable (1) and keep only (2) |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + That should unblock everything and give us a grace period if we want to doc- |
| 66 | + or runtime- deprecate (1) in the future. For that, it is important for (2) to be enabled by default. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + This might be a semver-minor change (for repl). |
| 69 | + * Plan for post v18.x |
| 70 | +* Rename default branch from "master" to "main" [#33864](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/33864) |
| 71 | + * Michael added comment with clarification on current status |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +### nodejs/TSC |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +* HTTP2 [#1168](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1168) |
| 76 | + * Michael gave a quick summary |
| 77 | + * James, needed to have it available to see if people were interested. GRPC is the |
| 78 | + only significant thing built on it. Most proxies don’t let HTTP2 through, they just forward on as http1. |
| 79 | + The plans are from them to forward HTTP3. Not a lot of ask/request for HTTP2. |
| 80 | + * We are open to contributions, but not a priority/critical for the project. |
| 81 | + * Michael will comment on the issue, to reflect the discussion. |
| 82 | +* \[meta\] settle on a voting solution [#1165](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1165) |
| 83 | + * do we want a blessed solution |
| 84 | + * Rich we should just go with the proposal, if it does not work in the future, then change |
| 85 | + * Michael +1 |
| 86 | + * Nobody objected in the meeting, so lets proceed. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +* vote: future of primordials [#1104](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1104) |
| 89 | + * PR with results ready for review, Antoine would like review from Rich in terms of automation |
| 90 | + * closed, futures votes should have their own issues. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +* Looking for feedback: Pointer compression in Node.js [#790](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/790) |
| 93 | + * agreed to close until we have a champion who wants to move it forward. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### nodejs/admin |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +* Bot user for nodejs/corepack [#660](https://github.com/nodejs/admin/issues/660) |
| 98 | + * Leave on agenda until next time |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +* blocklist import/export [#659](https://github.com/nodejs/admin/issues/659) |
| 101 | + * on the agenda for awareness |
| 102 | + * users blocked in Node.js will also be blocked in pkgjs and vice versa |
| 103 | + |
