+## Engineering Steering Committee Meeting, Dec 14, 2022
+
+Christophe Pouchet, Luca Milanesio, Saša Živkov, Patrick Hiesel
+
+### Next meeting
+
+Dec 14, 2022
+
+### Import of projects
+
+Luca gave an overview of the [draft design document](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/homepage/+/354234)
+published regarding the process of moving from change-number to project/change-number
+as unique global identifier of a change.
+
+Patrick gave an initial positive feedback on the overall approach, with some
+points to be clarified and addressed:
+
+- Need for a solid migration path that allows gradual rollouts, so that
+ it would be possible to first migrate to Gerrit v3.8 and then enable a smooth
+ migration of projects to the new numbering scheme.
+
+- The `refs/sequences/changes` on `All-Projects` will continue to exist as
+ a fallback for projects that do not adopt the new numbering.
+
+Luca pointed out that the APIs would still need to receive the project
+as part of the change identifier; it may the be discarded if the new
+scheme is not enabled and it will fallback to the current behaviour.
+
+Saša highlighted that a useful implication of this move would be making
+the move of projects across Gerrit primaries a lot easier, because of
+the ability of having project-specific numbering.
+
+### Overview of the Gerrit User Summit 2022 survey
+
+Luca presented an initial overview of the survery results about the
+Gerrit User Summit 2022 in November: 100% of the people responding
+to the questions agreed that their objective was achieved.
+
+More detailed results will be published on January 2023.
