January 2026 (Month: 2026-01) – Filecoin FIPs governance/documentation milestone in the filecoin-project/FIPs repository. Updated FIP 0064 status from Draft to Withdrawn to reflect author bandwidth constraints and the lack of an active champion, preventing misallocated effort on an unowned proposal. The change was committed to fip-0064.md (add980f22dff01d5948f59dcfacba50b5161edcd) with co-authorship attributed to Jorge M. Soares. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on governance clarity and maintainability of records. Impact: reduces risk of pursuing unowned proposals, improves status traceability, and supports better prioritization of active FIPs. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Git-based collaboration, MD documentation, governance and cross-team coordination, change-tracking in a standards repository.
