QT4CG meeting 166 draft agenda, 26 May 2026

Hello folks,

Here’s the draft agenda for tomorrow’s meeting. Hopefully, this one goes through. I’ll check more promptly.

There are a lot of PRs, so I put the discussion of the AI policy, which I only published a short while ago, at the end of the agenda.
