== News

• Good evaluation of the NeIC-ARC proposal, but NeIC will not be funding any new projects, not in a foreseeable future.
• Funding schemes in all countries change significantly, so the future is somewhat blurred. Unclear whether CodeRefinery will stay. GitHub repo is co-owned by David and Maiken.
• Some progress and more confusion around tokens, lot of work still to do.
• Israeli sites are interested in trying ARC for caching. Unfortunately, data staging with tokens is still broken in ARC.
• CERN recommends RHEL or AlmaLinux. ARC is actually built on Rocky.

== Bugs

Many fixed or closed as wontfix, but also some reported. #4105 and #4106 are both about wrong accounting, a strange coincidence, or another bug, unclear.

== ARC7

Data staging still doesn't work, too early to do an alpha release. Reasons will be discussed after the meeting.
