+Constitute the new council
+==========================
+- The council will hold its meetings on the 2nd Sunday of every month
+  at 19:00 UTC.
+  Accepted by consensus.
+- Vote: Continue last council's workflow considering sending call for
+  agenda items (2 weeks in advance), sending the agenda (1 week in
+  advance) and have the meeting focussed, i.e., have major discussions
+  on -project ML prior to the meeting.
+  Accepted with 5 yes votes.
+- Meeting chairs are assigned only until December, since at this point
+  only five council members were present.
+
+GLEP updates
+============
+
+Update of GLEP 63 "Gentoo GPG key policies"
+-------------------------------------------
+Two points were raised during discussion: The technical reason
+for separate capabilities of subkeys was questioned, especially for
+signing  and authentication; it was pointed out though that combining
+them could have security implications. The need for an expiration
+period on the primary key and its duration were also discussed.
+
+- Vote: Accept the GLEP 63 updates in the glep63-updates branch
+  of data/glep.git, commit bf99712e1e5e9b68a70be1aa93669e2f7192501b.
+  Accepted with 5 yes votes and 2 no votes.
+
+[Note added in proof: After rebasing onto master, the above is now
+commit 9334d4ea94196edf16e0b279e76163c948ea36a4.]
+
+GLEP 77 "Gentoo General Resolution"
+-----------------------------------
+A minority of council members questioned the necessity of this GLEP,
+given the short council terms of 12 months.
+
+- Vote: Accept GLEP 77.
+  Accepted with 5 yes votes, 1 no vote, and 1 abstention.
+
+- Vote: Have a full developers vote for approval of GLEP 77.
+  Not accepted with 6 no votes and 1 abstention.
+
+Default locations for repositories, distfiles, and binpkgs
+==========================================================
+There was a brief discussion about the color of /var/db vs /var/lib,
+and if /var/cache is suitable for binary packages.
+
+- Vote: Default locations for the Gentoo repository, distfiles, and
+  binary packages will be, respectively:
+     /var/db/repos/gentoo
+     /var/cache/distfiles
+     /var/cache/binpkgs
+  Accepted with 6 yes votes and 1 no vote.
+
+- Vote: Change the name of the Gentoo repository snapshot (currently
+  portage-YYYYMMDD) to gentoo-YYYYMMDD.
+  Accepted unanimously.
+
+Explicit CoC agreement for members of special projects
+======================================================
+Council members expressed their consensus that anyone contributing
+or acting as member of the Gentoo community must agree to the CoC.
+Further formalities are deemed unnecessary.
+
+- Vote: Make explicit agreement with CoC mandatory for being part
+  (i.e. also existing members) of Comrel, Infra, Recruiters and QA.
+  Not accepted with 6 no votes and 1 abstention.
+
+The council did not vote on the second part of the proposal, since
+already the first part wasn't accepted.
+
+Open bugs with council involvement
+==================================
+
+- Bug 637328 "GLEP 14 needs to be updated":
+  Some progress by the security project, but not ready yet.
+
+- Bug 661504 "GLEP 1: Small update to reflect current practice":
+  The GLEP editors have dropped the requirement that GLEPs must be
+  discussed on Gentoo forums, in addition to mailing lists.
+
+- Bug 661058 "GLEP 63 updates @ Jul 2018",
+  bug 659894 "GLEP 77: Gentoo General Resolution":
+  See previous item on GLEP updates.
+
+- Bug 642072 "Joint venture to deal with copyright issues":
+  No progress since last meeting.
+
+Open floor
+==========
+It was remarked that instead of making any particular decision, the
+council also has the option to defer that decision to the appropriate
+team. For example, this was done with QA in the past.
