1. Approval of minutes from last meeting

2. Finished business / Reports / Announcements

   1. RFC Process:
      It is working good, we are getting good conversations

   2. Dnn 8 Security Analyser:
      Ash, will be working on updating the new Persona Bar one.
      There is an upgrade issue when the old security analyser is installed, we need to try and make that work (uninstall the old one before the upgrade runs)
      RFC at https://github.com/DNNCommunity/DNN.SecurityAnalyzer/issues/42 we are continuing this discussion there. And then make it dead.

3. Unfinished business / Status updates

   1. Community webinars (Peter Donker / Will Stroll) (postponed from last meeting)
      Will has scheduled a webinar for 25th October (Dnn hangout)

   2. GDPR update by Peter Donker Peter submitted some pull requests, will bring the discussion offline to sync efforts on the items to do.
      Significant pull request (cookie consent and management of terms and conditions / privacy statement) waiting to be merged. Next step is to attack data consent.

   3. Issue Review on Platform and AdminExperience.
      Oliver was investigation Issue.sh as a tool to allow people to help with triage without needing write access. Still investigation options, we will come back to this in a few weeks.
      Still under investigation, postponed to a future meeting.

   4. APIs Documentation XML documentation on public APIs would be welcome:
      David mentioned DocFX and Kelly also investigating + working on more verbose documentation.
      Kelly tried compiling from XML documentation and it appears to work as expected. Oliver _may_ automate that in the build process, to be discussed later.

4. New business

   1. Dnn.React.Common:
      Work as been started on merging the dependencies into a single root folder to prevent downloading each into each component.

5. Addendum / Open Forum
