[Simon Peyton Jones]

|  In addition to the two meta-proposals (bylaws and GHC2021), we currently

|  Some need some nudging.

Tom, I think you offered to be our nudger.  Do you need nudging 😊?

|  
|  Dear Committee,
|  
|  after 2½ months, time for a new status updates. What was going on here?
|  
|   * Well, GHC2021 was going on. Lots of it. But it’s actually coming to a
|  close
|     in five days. It will be exciting to see how it affects the Haskell
|     landscapes.
|  
|   * Heh, last status I wrote:
|  
|     Richard refines the bylaws in #360. Maybe everybody has a second
|     look now and then we can merge this?
|  
|     I guess that still applies. Richard and I are discussing a corner case
|     on the PR, but otherwise approvals are coming in, and unless that
|  changes,
|     we’ll merge that once we ironed out that wrinkle.
|  
|   * Simon introduced the position of a nudger, namely Tom.
|  
|     Tom, below are some PRs where you might need to nudge someone!
|  
|   * we were asked to review these proposals:
|     #366: DuplicateRecordFields without ambiguous field access, shepherd:
|  Tom
|     #242: Unsaturated type families, Shepherd: Richard Eisenberg
|     #370: Syntax for Modifiers, Shepherd: Alejandro
|     #387: The Char kind, Shepherd: Alejandro
|     #368: Warn on prefix/suffix operators, Shepherd: Tom
|     #381: Visible 'forall' in types of terms, Shepherd: Iavor
|  
|   * we have a recommendation from the shepherd about:
|     #369: Add sumToTag# primop, (rec: accept)
|     #366: DuplicateRecordFields without ambiguous field access (rec:
|  accept)
|     #381: Visible 'forall' in types of terms (rec: reject)
|     #242: Unsaturated type families (rec: accept)
|     #313: Delimited continuation primops (rec: accept)
|     #370: Syntax for Modifiers (rec: accept)
|     #387: The Char kind (rec: accept)
|  
|   * we have sent the following proposals back to revision
|     #283: Local modules
|  
|   * we decided about the following proposals
|     #366: DuplicateRecordFields without ambiguous field access (accept)
|     #370: Syntax for Modifiers (accept)
|     #242: Unsaturated type families (accept)
|  
|  In addition to the two meta-proposals (bylaws and GHC2021), we currently
|  have to act on the following 7 proposals, up by 2!
|  Some need some nudging.
|  
|  ## Waiting for committee decision
|  
|  #387: The Char kind, Shepherd: Alejandro
|        Looks like it’ll be smoothly accepted, but it’s only a week old.
|        Will maybe merge in a few days.
|  
|  #381: Visible 'forall' in types of terms, Shepherd: Iavor
|        Recommendation was to reject, but discussion went into the more
|        abstract “whither dependent Haskell”. But what does this mean
|        for this proposal?
|  
|  #369: Add sumToTag# primop
|        Essentially accepted, waiting for feedback from the author on final
|  tweaks
|  
|  #313: Delimited continuation primops, Shepherd: Simon Marlow
|        Mostly positive reception, but there was discussion.
|        Simon, can this be accepted as it, or does it need more
|  work/time/discussion?
|  
|  #302: \of, Shepherd: Cale
|        No new discussion. Cale, what is the conclusion?
|  
|  
|  ## Waiting for Shepherd action
|  
|  #367: Clarify primops using unboxed sums, Shepherd: Simon Marlow
|        This is aging… we need a shepherd recommendation
|  
|  #368: Warn on prefix/suffix operators, Shepherd: Tom
|        Tom, your turn
|  
|  Cheers,
|  Joachim
