+
+Quorum is present.
+
+2) Secretary
+
+Secretary is Andre Pradhana.
+
+3) Forum
+
+There is no topic in the forum to be discussed in this meeting.
+
+4) Github Discussion
+
+Dan set up the Github Discussion page on the OpenVDB Github Repository. He also
+moved some issues to the Github Discussion page so that we can start utilizing
+this platform more.
+
+5) VFX Reference Platform
+
+Dan emailed the VFX reference platform. He thinks that the deadline for OpenVDB 9.0
+release is September 1st.
+
+In the last TAC meeting that Ken attended, he gave an update. The TAC invited the
+two leads of the VFX reference platform. The two leads understand some confusions
+that may arise from the VFX reference platform process, but they are willing
+to work with the ASWF organization. They said that they finalize the list around
+SIGGRAPH, but they are still open to changes. They will make their own list and
+we can make comments and request changes. It is up to the VFX reference platform
+to accept or reject the comments and changes. This will happen through dialogue.
+
+Dan asks if we need to release OpenVDB 9.0 around SIGGRAPH time. Ken said we don't
+need to release 9.0 around SIGGRAPH.
+
+Dan asks if we need to do a pre-release for OpenVDB 9.0. Ken does not think we need
+to do a pre-release for 9.0, but we need to start discussing what will go into 9.0.
+Ken wants NanoVDB to be released with 9.0.
+
+6) Open PRs
+
+Dan reminded us to take a look and do code-reviews at the open PRs.
+
+7) NanoVDB
+
+Ken proceeds with giving a presentation on NanoVDB. JT intends to get the recording
+from Ken and making a transcript for the presentation.
+
+8) Next meeting
+
+Next meeting is July 20th, 2021. 12pm-1pm EST (GMT-5).
