Some notes from the meeting given below

Developers recently analyzed the results of the leading mainnet shadow fork and decided to conduct two more similar updates on the Goerly testnet and Ethereum mainnet next week.
Then, EF researcher and developer Tim Beiko proposed forking the Ropsten testnet and, once it was done, the Goerlie and Sepulia networks. Therefore, the Rinkeby testnet should still be abandoned by all dApps using its infrastructure.
Ethereum (ETH) core developers will no longer accept Shanghai’s proposals, the network’s first hardfork after the merger that is due to take place in the first six months of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS).
Ethereum Devs Still Target Q3, 2022 as Merge Date
As previously covered by U.Today, this upgrade will include the EVM Object Format or EOF, a new type of smart contracts, and other significant improvements.
Ms. Kim did not share any updates on the timing of The Merge as it is still unclear when the next Ethereum (ETH) “tough bomb” will be delayed. Q3, 2022, still remains the target.
On April 13, 2022, Tim Beiko announced that Ethereum’s migration to Proof-of-Stake would begin “not in June,” but a few months later.
