Summary
van Rossem hard fork
SRE team and engineering teams are on standby for at least one epoch to observe whether there will be any issue similar to what happened on the van Rossem enactment epoch boundary
Dijkstra Era hard fork
Scope
In addition to the scope candidates presented last week on the hfwg call, few additional CIP were discussed and assessed
CIP-151 is still being discussed as a CIP so its not likely to fit into the first next hard fork in Dijkstra era
Since it needs full era, it would likely end up in era after Dijkstra, so Euler
CIP-181 has reasonable chances to be included
CIP-50 might be added to the scope by external contributor
Ryan (Cerkoryn) Wiley is leading that effort and wil reach out to the Haskell team on potential integration
Discussed scope will be presented to both Product Committee and Technical Steering Committee meetings on Wednesday, 22nd July
Timing
Q4 2026 remains the working target for DIjkstra era hard fork
Prioritization & process
Work is continuing so there is a meaningful and impactful process for community participation in defining the scope of any future hard forks post first one in Dijkstra era
Next hard fork naming
There was a number of prominent community members mentioned who passed away recently
CIP-179 can potentially be used for multi-option voting through info action
This topic will be on agenda for the next hard fork working group meeting this week, on Thursday, 23rd July
Hard Fork Working Group meetings will continue to happen twice a week, until at least the Dijkstra hard fork scope is set, after which the future meeting cadence will be decided

Action items and next steps
Can/Sam: Make sure that SRE and engineering teams observe network behavior for block propagation delay as it happened on van Rossem hard fork enactment on the next epoch boundary on Thursday, 23rd July
Ryan (Cerkoryn): Reach out to Haskell team (Geoff/Brandon) to check on the posibility of integration of CIP-50 done by external contributor
Geoff: Attend the Technical Steering Committee meeting on 29th July to present the scope for Dijkstra and plans for delivery
Kevin/Sam L/Ryan C W: Draft the decision making and prioritization process for future hard forks
Bosko: Continue creating supporting structure and relevant documentation within the hard fork working group GitBook space under Technical Steering Committee
Tex: Create ecosystem dependency mapping document(s)
