Replacing ATC terminology with AC (Active Contributors)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
* As UC is merged into TC, this is to include the AUC into ATC so that they can be eligible for TC election voting.  We
are having a good amount of discussion on Gerrit[5], feel free to review the patch if you have any points regarding this.
* In the last TC meeting, we will write a TC resolution to map the ATC with the new term AC from Bylaws' perspective.

Retiring sushy-cli
--------------------
* Ironic project is retiring the sushy-cli[6]

Discussion on moving from Freenode 
--------------------------------------------
* As you know there are changes in Freenode organization/governance strategy and policies, we are having a lot
of discussion over ML on this[7][8].
* In TC, we many members think to monitor this situation and not to make any quick decision in hurry. This also needs
to decide which platform is better for the long term. Until then we will continue on Freenode.
* As Naser mentioned in the ML thread if anyone feels a very strong opinion to be discussed on priority, feel free to
add this in next week's TC meeting agenda.
