@ryanberckmans I've added your topic to the agenda at the end, given it's very open-ended, somewhat more of a CL topic (although it has EL implications) and that we may tangentially get to a similar discussion when covering EIP-7783. Are there specific questions you'd like to bring up on the call? If so, we can try and prioritize them.

Thanks, TIm.

My specific questions would be

• Given the emerging importance of validator bandwidth requirements in driving real-world disaster contingency planning for the validator set, how does the core dev community feel in general about the existing scope and rigor of the bandwidth research? Are we doing a great job here? If not, how can we close that gap?
• It occurs to me that bandwidth research may have at least two different areas: research into the internal bandwidth dynamics of the protocol and client implementations, and research into the external bandwidth supply available across the world, including rural vs urban availability, growth/expansion expectations, and 1st world vs 3rd world. imo research into both these areas seems important.
• I also asked some tactical questions here.

There was strong support from ACDC attendees on 17 October to move ahead with EIP-7742 as we are likely to make some blob count change in Pectra.

I'd request we move EIP-7742 from CFI to SFI :)

I would like to discuss a small change to EIP-7685:

• Update EIP-7685: exclude empty requests data in commitment EIPs#8989
• engine: exclude empty requests in requests list execution-apis#599

The idea is to remove empty requests data from the requests_hash commitment, which would give us a stable empty requests_hash value that isn't tied to a particular fork.

I would like to give an update on 7783. and also with some discussions with others team: ethereum/EIPs#8974 are the guidelines for it

[fjl]

If there is time left after Pectra discussions, I would like to bring up this issue related to revert data in eth_call and related RPC methods: ethereum/execution-apis#600

[timbeiko]

Thanks for the clarification, @benaadams! Added your final item @fjl 😄

[g11tech]
