+## Announcements
+Mike Bursell (MB) announced the upcoming CC Summit in San Francisco on June 23-24, co-hosted by LF and Opaque, with a call for papers currently open.MB requested the members and their members to submit the CFP as the CFP is currently open & closes on April 08.  
+DM shared some insights from NVIDIA's recent conference, highlighting a keynote speech that mentioned confidential computing. 
+DM requested to have the OC3 conference key takeaways from the TAC members. Fritz Alder (FA) appreciated the technical content presented during the conference and the technical knowledge of the people in the OC3 conference. MB also agreed with FA and appreciated the technical content presented during the OC3 conference. 
+Usama Sardar appreciated honesty of the presentations, particularly Simon Johnson's from Intel.
+The group discussed the status of NIST-related matters, with Alec taking an action item to follow up with Mike Bartok. They agreed to include ISO-related topics on the agenda for the next meeting, with Alec working on a draft statement. 
+
+DM confirmed Enarx’s project annual review scheduled for April 02 and briefed about other planned topics. 
+
+DM announced Renu’s upcoming maternity leave starting March 30, 2026 for 39 weeks. 
+DM expressed appreciation for Riaan's contributions over the past years, noting his move to work full-time for CNCF from April 01,2026.  
+
+## New Business
+DM shared the list of the open PRs and requested the TAC members to contribute to the open PRs so that they can be successfully archived. 
+
+DM announced that the team had completed a board meeting on March 18, 2026 where they reviewed ISO discussions and TAC engagement, and assigned co-chairs the responsibility of reviewing previous meeting minutes to help plan future sessions. DM encouraged the participants spending time reading and editing content for Blueprint B and C documents, with some comments already added by Rene and Mingshen.
+
+
+The group discussed document B, with Nicolas Maeding (NM) suggesting it should highlight more community efforts rather than just cloud provider capabilities. MB and DM clarified that the goal was not to approve the document immediately but to gather feedback over a two-week period, with potential for further iterations. The team debated how to handle references to commercial and proprietary solutions, with Ofir raising questions about including cloud service provider technologies. Mike noted the need to consult with the Linux Foundation regarding rules for including commercial solutions in the document. The TAC members discussed feedback on two confidential computing blueprint documents (B and C).

+## Future Meetings 
+Next meeting April 02, 2026. DM adjourned the meeting at 08:58 am PT.
