+## Review of last meeting
+
+* _Skipping_
+
+## Minutes
+
+### \[Converge\] timers: Avoid linear scan in `_unrefActive`. [#23](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/23)
+
+* James: conflicting approaches in both repos
+* Ben: both are terrible under different workloads - do away with the code and start again
+* Jeremiah: might have a go at it, working off an existing heap impl by Ben (ACTION)
+* Bert: some problems with http - discussion happened about the implementation
+* Chris: would be good to have Julien’s input since he was active on the joyent/node impl
+
+### \[Converge\] child_process argument type checking [#22](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/22)
+
+* James: arg checking merged in 0.10 after the fork
+* Discussion about why this wasn’t merged to io.js
+* Defer back to GitHub discussion after no reason for not merging could be found on the call
+
+### \[Converge\] SSLv2/3 disable/enable related commits [#20](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/20)
+
+* James: SSLv2/3 removed in io.js, merging these commits would involve reverting
+* Jeremiah proposed 0.12 being the LTS for SSLv2/3 support
+* Rod: are we happy killing this off?
+* Michael: we don’t know how extensively it’s being used?
+* James: pending research into that question we’ll leave this alone, come back if there’s a compelling reason to revert
+
+### doc: Add new working groups [#15](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/15)
+
+* Michael: Benchmarking and Post Mortem Debugging working groups are ready and have started, i18n group needs a bit more work to get off the ground
+* Group didn’t see any reason not to go forward with these groups, they have repos and can be in an “incubating” state for now
+
+
+### Buffer implemented using Uint8Array [#1810](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1810)
+
+* Trevor: Buffer using Uint8Array is now working, all applicable tests pass, currently behind a flag:
+* Trevor Questions:
+  - Are we going with v8 4.3 or 4.4?
+  - If we go v8 4.3, do we want to release behind a flag?
+  - we still want an upper kMaxlength Buffer size limit?
+* Ben: Buffer size limit should be safe to remove
+* Rod: 4.3 and 4.4 both contain major breakage for native addons
+* Discussed if we would like to delay 3.0 until v8 4.4
+* Rod: no appetite here for delaying a 3.0 with 4.3, take discussion on that back to GitHub
+* Ben: suggested we release new Buffer impl with a flag to revert to old impl, Jeremiah seconded
+* Discussed how hard it would be to land and review
+* Fedor: how does it work with 32bit numbers?
+* Trevor: It acts the same as before
+
+### \[Discussion\] FFI - Giving Buffer more low-level C functionality [#1750](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1750)
+
+* Trevor: concerns about being able to write to buffers and execute arbitrary code
+* Rod: concerned about changing the nature of what Node _is_ and the safety it exposes
+* Ben suggested that we move this new work to an ffi module rather than hanging it off Buffer
+ - Group agreed to take this suggestion back to the issue for discussion
+
+### Chrome 43 released; time for V8 4.3! [#1735](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1735)
+
+* Concerns about deps forcing semver-major, the C++ API changes are big enough to warrant this though
+
+### Deprecation Policy [#1704](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1704)
+
+* Discussion dividing into two camps - conservative camp and those who want to test the size of the impact on the ecosystem
+* Suggestion (Michael?) that we use LTS releases to determine when things get properly removed
+* Discussed why we want a deprecation policy
+
+### TSC needs to elect a board representative. [#1697](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1697)
+
+* Deferred till next meeting - need to nominate and vote someone in to this role and should discuss how we want to structure the role in terms of rotation
+
+### V8 4.4 to remove indexed properties via external data [#1451](https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/1451)
+
+* Nothing to discuss, rolled up in to Buffer discussion earlier
+
+## Next meeting
+
+* June 3rd, 8PM UTC
