3 of 5 ESCo Leads present - quorum not achieved.

Review proposals for reducing ESCo's effort around archiving projects:
- Some of the backlog is caused by projects that should be categorised as samples, but aren't (examples include the bots from the 2016 botathon)
- Decision: ESCo will go through the current backlog and correctly categorise all projects that haven't had activity since 2016. What's left will be put forward for archiving.
- Decision: going forward, ESCo will review eligible projects every 6 months (spring & fall) and approve archiving of those projects in a batch. This will be supported by reporting to be implemented by Foundation staff.
Steering of projects that have open, unanswered PRs:
- Some of these appear to be due to lapses in housekeeping, some due to inactive projects (see previous agenda item), and perhaps a small number due to active projects that are not monitoring incoming PRs.
- Decision: ESCo will go through the list and reach out to those projects where steering may be warranted (primarily the last category).
