Thank you Joachim for keeping us in touch.

Everyone: it's important that we respond to authors in a timely manner (days or weeks, definitely not months), otherwise the process begins to feel tiresome and bureaucratic -- and it's disrespectful to our proposal authors.

Shepherds, your active intervention is critical.  Group responsibilities fall down the cracks, which is why we need a shepherd for each proposal to make sure it keeps moving.  If you don't feel able to serve, it's better to step down.  But it's not very onerous and it's probably just a question of getting this small task onto your front burner!

So, if you are a shepherd in the list below, please could you find time to move it along?   It's ok to bounce it back to the author for specified revisions and resubmission.  Not so OK for it simply to languish.

Thank you!

Simon

Dear Committee,

let’s do another ~bi~trimonthly status update. There was an uptick in
submissions recently, and our backlog is on the large side; it looks
like almost everyone

So what has happened since the last one?

 * Baldur has stepped down, Arnaud has renewed their term and Adam Gundy joined.
   Thanks all!

 * I started a discussion on whether we should have GHC2021. I sense some hesitation,
   but not enough yet to discourage me, so I stated to draft a proposal at
   https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/559
   and you are all invited to nominate those extensions you’d like to be on by
   default in the future.

 * we were asked to review these proposals:

   #532: Clean up implicit binding, Shepherd: Arnaud
   #512: NoFieldSelectors as datatype annotation, Shepherd: Vlad
   #526: Applicative Comprehensions, Shepherd: Simon M
   #540: parallelism semaphores, Shepherd: Eric
   #547: Remove kind constraints, Shepherd: Arnaud
   #529: Template Haskell quotes as patterns, Shepherd: Adam
   #451: WARNING pragma with category, Shepherd: Joachim
   #546: Make Symbol a newtype over String, Shepherd: Chris
   #556: fix signature scoping #448, Shepherd: Richard

 * we have a recommendation from the shepherd about:

   #522: Or patterns. Recommendation: accept
   #516: Introduce `-Wincomplete-record-selectors`, Rec: accept
   #270: Support pun-free code. Rec: accept
   #500: Add implicit import proposal, rec: reject
   #547: Remove kind constraints, Recommendation: accept
   #451: WARNING pragma with category, rec: accept

 * we have sent the following proposals back to revision

   (none)

 * we decided about the following proposals

   #517: Require implementors before proposal submission (reject)
   #516: Introduce `-Wincomplete-record-selectors (accept)
   #547: Remove kind constraints, Recommendation: accept
   #500: Add implicit import proposal (reject)

We currently have to act on the following 12 proposals, double
the number as last time!

## Waiting for committee decision

#270: Support pun-free code, Shepherd: Chris
      2022-01-01: Assigned to Chris
      2022-08-24: Chris suggests acceptance

      Chris, can you conclude this discussion?

#515 Relaxing HasField constraints

      2022-08-10: Tom suggests acceptance
      Still no comments. Tom, please drive this discussion!

      Acceptance seems imminent

## Waiting for shepherd recommendation

      2022-10-02: Reassignd to Vlad
