Linux Foundation meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it
60+
is the intention of the Linux Foundation to conduct all of its activities in
61+
accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. It is therefore
62+
extremely important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, and be aware of,
63+
and not participate in, any activities that are prohibited under applicable US
64+
state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws.
65+
66+
Examples of types of actions that are prohibited at Linux Foundation meetings
67+
and in connection with Linux Foundation activities are described in the Linux
68+

## Notes
83+
84+
Jeff Brown discussed that the COBOL Working Group is still working on a reset, sharing that he has several people he's reached
85+
out to but no responses yet. The TAC representatives in attendance agreed to have COBOL WG reviewed in September, and indicated
86+
the TAC would like to see a plan for what a new direction for that group would be.
87+
88+
John Mertic mentioned that there has been no interest on anyone taking over the COBOL Check project, and TAC representatives indicated
89+
they would be for conducting an offline vote to approve moving the project to Emertius.
90+
91+
John Mertic shared that Feilong has been onboarded to the mainframe infrastructure, and CBT Tape is in process. The TAC reviewed
92+
a number of project applying for access, approving all but Lua/TSO and NixOS; those the TAC requested information on current
93+
