[Dexaran]

I would like to add "security related EIP modifications" to the agenda. I wrote a draft for a proposal to update EIP process here: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/modification-of-eip-process-to-account-for-security-treatments/16265/2

The idea is as follows:

• Make "Security Considerations" section of EIPs mutable even after the EIP is assigned final status. Security Considerations must be treated as "living".
• Develop an Ethereum Security Guideline (a new EIP that will describe security rules) so that EIP editors could benchmark proposals against it even without deep technical knowledge.

I have a security auditing organization (https://audits.callisto.network/), the necessary expertise in the area and a team that can work on the development of security guidelines. We would like to start the discussion and gather feedbacks.

• Make "Security Considerations" section of EIPs mutable even after the EIP is assigned final status. Security Considerations must be treated as "living".

I'd like Security Considerations & Implementations sections to link to a wiki post on Ethereum Magicians (https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-a-wiki-post/30801), similar to the link to Discussions. This enables these sections to be updated/maintained as appropriate by the community without changing final EIP/ERCs.

[abcoathup]

Is the "associate" role defined anywhere?
I can't make these meetings as they are incompatible with waking hours in Australia.

@abcoathup

Editor Associate is not a formal position and is not listed on EIP-1.

This is added to indicate the user contributing to EIP/ERC reviewing and aspires to be an EIP Editor. This is also used as a tag on ECH Discord to add permissions.

A brief description of "who" and "roles" are added to an unofficial Reviewers sheet so it's helpful to keep track of.

Summary

1. Discuss Open Issues/PRs, and other topics

EIP-ERC repo split

@Pandapip1 will be looking into tooling

Web Page Rendering for EIP & ERC

@Pandapip1 shared

• One website, but each repository will control how are the webpages rendered.
• Each working group gets to decide what should be displayed on the webpage.

Topic Group

@SamWilsn shared

• working on a prototype of how it should work
• 1 repo for each working group
• looks similar to EIP/ERC split
• will make sure of tooling working before the split
• will share and get editors' approval
• Check EIPs WG if anyone wants to follow along with working group development.
