Heather presented the usual EC stats (see the presentation for details). Scott Stark from Red Hat brought up their concerns about JSR 376. Since the Spec Lead was not present for the call, Heather encouraged EC Members to communicate their concerns on the JSR public discussion list in the spirit of transparency for the rest of the community to participate and the Spec Lead to respond. Red Hat highlighted the fact that there was a lack of consensus to go to Public Review. Hazelcast, LJC Tomitribe and MicroDoc joined in expressing support for the concern. Red Hat is planning to create a document that outlines their concerns and will be sending it to the JSR 376 public discussion list.
