Conclusion

• At this moment, Consensus did not appear to be present for ECIP-1049 due to many unanswered questions.
• Recommendation from the collective call was to keep ECIP-1049 in Last Call, while the network analyzes the impacts of other Accepted proposals like ECIP-1099 and MESS.
• It was recommended the ECIP-1049 authors work to clarify the proposal's specs/motives to draft a more solidified version of the proposal before being considered for Accepted or Rejected status.

Please direct future commentary to the ECIP 1049 discussion thread:
