+  they are elected at the same time. Matteo that means my term is over and there will be an
+  Election. Plan to run again.
+
+### nodejs/node
+
+* doc: add policy for “placeholder” executables [#52107](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/52107)
+  * covered under discussion for - Corepack
+    decisions [#1518](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1518)
+
+* deps: remove corepack [#51981](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/51981)
+  * deferred discussion to focus on - Corepack decisions [#1518](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1518)
+
+* build: enable `yarn` and `pnpm` Corepack binaries by default #51886
+  * deferred discussion to focus on - Corepack decisions [#1518](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1518)
+
+### nodejs/nodejs.org
+
+* Redesign suggests all versions of Node.js include corepack [#6441](https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/issues/6441)
+
+* globally installing npm should not be the recommended way for Mac and Linux [#6361](https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/issues/6361)
+  * Matteo opened this - goes back in history, if you install in Mac, and Linux because it requires
+    sudo. If you use nvm to manage versions, it does not work very well.
+  * Geoffrey, package maintenance team is starting to discuss this approach, should this be
+    kicked over to that team ? Matteo, website is the issue in terms of what it recommends.
+  * Michael, clarify do you mean npm or node globally. Matteo, both.
+  * Myles, past discussion of creating a new/better installer which stalled out. Existing installers
+    are a challenge.
+  * Michael, sounds like we should kick over to the package maintenance team
+  * Matteo we should do something in the short term and in the long term
+    * Should really not be following recommendations for Mac,
+  * Paolo other ways to install like brew as well, challenge is that we don’t manage many of the
+    tools which is a complication in recommending. Ask npm if they can change paths used for
+    global models
+  * Michael will transfer issue to package-maint team
+
+### nodejs/TSC
+
+* Corepack decisions [#1518](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1518)
+  * discussed and agreed that next step is to focus on -
+    <https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/52107>, we will reserve most of next week’s meeting to
+    discuss. People please start discussion in the next week so we have as much basis as
+    possible to start the discussion.
+
+* CPC representatives [#1504](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1504)
+  * open PR for switch Michael will close
+
+### nodejs/admin
+
+* Events / Collaborator Summits for 2024 [#814](https://github.com/nodejs/admin/issues/814)
+  * Matteo, please register
+
+### nodejs/corepack
+
+* fix: remove npm [#418](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack/pull/418)
+  * deferred discussion to focus on - Corepack decisions [#1518](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1518)
+
+* Questions we agreed last week to try to move forward
+  * There is no intention to remove npm - <https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/51951> (no objections from 13 TSC members in call)
+    * PR landed to document that there is no intension to remove npm
+
+  * Will Node.js install links that enable binaries, scripts, etc. outside of Node.js -
+    <https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/51994>>
+    * More discussion this week - as part of  - Corepack
+      decisions [#1518](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/1518)
+  * Should the existing PR be blocked on the asks for more design, plans, discussion, and the
+    npm `devEngines` work
+    * some progress in terms of agreeing we don’t need to rush the decision for Node.js 22.
+
