## Proposals in RFC Roundup

> <sub>:calendar: --- RFC and FS Dates for reference and for existing proposals can be seen [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10qxaRjm9T5LCgnYwwYqPqEjKu9yl2F1YHqdDD5SktJc/edit?usp=sharing).</sub>

Going by the activity around them, by when they've been posted, etc, we're probably looking forward to around 15 Ratification Polls for January---possibly more if some dormant-yet-eligible proposals wake up and their authors decide to formally submit them :O
