+  ## Welcome
+
+## Minutes/actions from previous meeting
+
+Minutes have been merged. Please raise issue/PR for any corrections.
+
+### Updates from related communities
+
+#### PQCA
+
+Meeting canceled for this week - no updates
+
+#### OQS
+
+* want to start pulling pqcp implementations that are ready. Discussing with Matthias & Hanno.
+* Pravek Sharma (University of Waterloo) will be taking lead in liasing / integration - already been involved with libjade kyber in liboqs, alongside Basil (IBM)
+
+### Review of subprojects
+
+### mlkem-c-aarch64
+
+* original plan of independent ML-KEM generic, aarch64 & perhaps AVX2 implementations could be an obstacle to adoption - similar, but different.
+* aarch64 implementation has evolved to provide interface to more easily incorporate specific implementations ie AVX2 from Kyber ref repo. Stay close to reference, but enable this specialization.
+* Function signatures same across implementations, but semantics differ - so have made these definitions common. Aim to verify C code with CBMC.
+* (Manuel): can also use code from Jasmin : contracts on a per-function basis with bounds. like an AVX2 implementation. Will review interface.
+* C code tries to remain close to reference implementation whilst addressing a few implementation defined behaviours. (FIPS 203 input validation is open as issue)
+* targetted more at server/pc/mobile platforms (vs embedded which focusses more on memory usage/code size).
+* Aiming for an alpha release to get awareness of internal interface & gather feedback.
+* Naming change proposal - mlkem-native currently proposed. Agree in next meeting.
+* Have asked for feedback from John Shanck / Peter Schwabe
+
+### mlkem-c-embedded
+
+No updates. (team working on above)
+
+### mlkem-c-libjade
+
+* getting close to completion for the avx2 super optimized implementation. A few more optimizations with proofs to do. 
+* Target is IEEE S&P conference.
+* Hope to fit into the API structure covered in the mlkem-c-aarch64 discussion.
+
+#### Open TSC issues
+
+No updates.
+
+### Any other business
+
+#### Releases
+
+* Discussion on what's needed for an alpha release: (see mlkem-c-aarch64 discussion also)
+  * minimum is security/licensing.
+  * document/transparency.
+  * explain objectives ie inviting feedback on apis.
+  * milestone set up in mlkem-c-aarch64. Assigning [issues targetted for release](https://github.com/pq-code-package/mlkem-c-aarch64/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+milestone%3Aalpha-release) there. please review.
+
+#### liboqs representative
+
+* Douglas proposed that Pravek Sharma is best placed to liase between liboqs & pqcp on adopting implementations of algorithms as he'll be doing much of the work.
+* Will check LF process/charter offline & start this process.
