Spend roughly 20 minutes ensuring Architecture committee/Status is up-to-date. Checklist of the questions we should answer:

Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? Tim chairing, RobLa to support.
Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"?
Do we have a robust queue of RFCs to discuss at future IRC discussions?
For each upcoming meeting, do we anticipate the RFC moving into "final comment"?
How does ArchCom-RfCs board look?
- Where should anything in the inbox go?
What is the most important thing each ArchCom member is shepherding? Anything blocked? Are responsibilities balanced well?
