1. Roadmap
  a) Istanbul Hardfork Roadmap
    - Joseph Delong cat-herders
    - https://en.ethereum.wiki/roadmap/istanbul
  b) Release manager
    - eips for Istanbul reference this meta-eip -> https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-1679.md
  c) ProgPoW Update
    - whiteblock have not received funding to do benchmarking (might not do)
      - probably irrelevant because the point of ProgPoW 
        is to make the gap between graphic card and ASIC smaller

iikirilov

1. Testing

1. Roadmap
  a) woop woop constantinople
  b) ProgPoW audit - cat herders? will publish official blog post
                   - https://medium.com/ethereum-cat-herders/further-introduction-the-ethereum-cat-herders-c42bf026fb7c
                   - benchmarking (nvidia vs. amd) - whiteblock bounty on gitcoin
                   - how long will it take ASIC company to build ProgPoW ASIC? - is it even worth implementing
                     - probably irrelevant because the point of ProgPoW 
                     is to make the gap between graphic card and ASIC smaller
                   - https://www.etherchain.org/charts/progpow - miners are in favour
