* [WV / AD] TUF questions for conda-content-trust
    * Implementation based on TUF but does not directly implement spec (e.g., no `key_id`, distinct metadata protection, multi-channel)
    * Need to consider multiple repositories (channels) and mutiple authorities
    * Provide access to data for third-party developers to test against (SA)
    * Provide spec for repodata information
* Shipped conda environments without needing conda's shell initialization functions?
    * Typically works, unless you need something in the activation scripts
    * Users can set `$PATH` as appropriate or use absolute paths
* Refactor `conda-index` out of `conda-build`
* Deprecate `conda-verify` -> merge into `conda-build` post-build checks
* Scheduling: keep at every 2 weeks at current time, or switch?
    * Consensus is to keept meetings every two weeks until we hear otherwise.
