I would like to propose collab-summit session proposal (openjs-foundation/summit#236) from diag WG as well, to be added to agenda.

Unfortunately I've less time recently to focus on this working group and would like to hand over the chairmanship to someone who has both the expertise in the field and is passionate about diagnostics. I'd like to discuss tomorrow how can I step down from my duties and what's the election process for a new chairman. I believe this group will greatly benefit from having someone has more time to orchestrate our work in the long term.

I know for example @mmarchini would be happy to take over this role, but maybe multiple folks would be interested, so please think about who would be interested and we should discuss the process and timeline of choosing a new chairman.

[mmarchini]

@gireeshpunathil what do you have in mind? Given the online format, I'm not sure a generic session would be productive or helpful, and a session to continue deep dives would be using a slot from the summit for something we already do regularly. I think it would be useful to have a session similar to the one we had on Vancouver in 2018, where we discussed some specific topics (like Mike's asynchronous continuation proposal). As an example, if we had a session to discuss tracing architecture in core, I think that would be amazing (and it falls under the umbrella of the diagnostics working group).

[gireeshpunathil]

thanks @mmarchini . few points:

• we don't have to stick to one proposal
• tracing arch in core - looks great to me

in short, items that benefit from wider discussions
