I'm not sure I’ll be able to get home in time to attend the meeting tomorrow, but I have a few points:

• I plan to release version 0.7.0 of iconv-lite (release: 0.7.0 pillarjs/iconv-lite#334), and with that, could we already move it to the GitHub organization? cc: @expressjs/express-tc. It’s already in the npm organization, we just need to move it to GitHub. If approval to move it comes through, please let me know so I can coordinate with Alexander.

• Regarding whether we can move the meeting to Thursday or Friday, if not, no problem. I could just join for 10/15 minutes during the working sessions (the time to discuss the website redesign) and then leave afterwards. For the rest, I can work asynchronously, or if needed, we can arrange an ad-hoc call.

• (docs: add working group charter typescript-wg#3) Regarding the TypeScript group, charter approval is needed in order to run that group, since that was the condition for its creation (as far as I remember). Since there were still things to clarify about the group’s scope, I’d appreciate it if, apart from the TC, @Phillip9587, @clicktodev, @RobinTail (who I’ve seen are interested in adding types to the packages) could also take a look

I will love to mention few points too:

• Asking for a reviews to unblock the new policy docs: add YesWeHack policy security-wg#90. Note that we need to spend some time defining "Qualifying Vulnerabilities" docs: add YesWeHack policy security-wg#90 (comment), this also can be done async.
• Asking for a reviews: Moving Security WG meetings to ad-hoc format meeting: remove meeting security-wg#102
