+------------
+
+1) Confirm quorum
+
+Quorum is present.
+
+2) Secretary
+
+Secretary is Andre Pradhana.
+
+3) Boost discussion
+
+Confirming that OpenVDB still requires boost dependency even if a user turns
+delayed loading off. Right now, if a user turns off delayed loading, it turns
+off bringing boost. This will be fixed.
+
+Right now, boost dependency includes uuid, numeric_traits, boost string algorithm, and
+boost any. The string boost PR would fix the boost string dependency. Jeff Lait will
+take a look at UUID.
+
+4) Meeting with Wolfram's representative
+
+Need to set up a meeting with a representative with Wolfram for legal purposes.
+Greg Hurst and John Mertic should be there. Greg will follow this up.
+
+5) Greg's TSC membership
+
+Ken will send an email to John Mertic to add Greg as a TSC member. He will also
+update MAINTAINERS.md and CODEOWNERS document in the repo. Dan will add Greg
+as a reviewer for the repo.
+
+6) PR-1547: Value Accessor
+
+This is ready to go. This is an impressive work. Everything works without needing
+to change the client's code. It reduces the number of lines of code and avoids
+code-duplication. Every test that Nick ran is faster and the algorithm does not
+change. It is easier to add new method to the accessor and easier to test.
+
+Ken asks Nick to add an example of what needs to be added if somebody needs to
+add a new method.
+
+Nick will assume ownership and responsibility for the code.
+
+7) PR-1559: VDB Advect Points
+
+Fixes an issue that was broken 3 years ago. Jeff will take a look at it.
+
+8) PR-1563
+
+Removing some constexpr stuffs that gives warning. Ken affirms that eliminating
+support for bool grids in VDB LOD SOP/Multires grid is the right thing to do.
+Ken affirms that it is fine.
+
+9) NanoVDB Update
+
+Ken will do a NanoVDB update the next time we meet.
+
+10) Next Meeting
+
+Next meeting is at January 17th, 2023. 2pm-3pm EDT (GMT-4).
