 - PRR assigns specific approvers to each KEP that is targeting a release. Therefore, we have a clear picture of how much each
   approver must do each cycle. In 1.21, each approver reviewed 22 KEPs. for the 1.22 cycle, we have a new approver (@ehashman) to
   help reduce the load on each approver. Go Elana!

 - The main meeting itself is losing steam a bit. We could use more across the board attendance. We have to find ways to do this with better timely topics.
 - The sub projects are in sustainable shape for the most part. We could use more people in conformance, code-organization, and PRR for sure.
 - We want to rework the API reviews as well to make sure SIGs can for the most part do their own API reviews.

+- The Enhancements subproject has some tooling code, and is a good place for newer folks to contribute. It has been quite active recently, and as a process-focused subproject is a place where program managers can collaborate with other contributors on optimising processes regarding feature development, deprecations, policy rollouts, and other substantial changes.
 
 **What programs do you participate in for new contributors?**
 - Mainly through code-organization, we have a new mentee from LFX for example. 
-- We do need to grow more folks who can work across SIGs somehow. We might need to put together a mentoring program to help with this. One idea we had before of reading group for KEPs may need to be revived.

 **Does the group have contributors from multiple companies/affiliations? Can end users/companies contribute in some way that they currently are not?**
 
 - Yes. Our chairs are from three different companies. We have many participants and subproject owners from those same companies and others.
