February 2026 – tc39/agendas: Focused on Import Defer Proposal: TC39 Meeting Preparation. Consolidated changes for the 'import defer' proposal and meeting prep, including a normative PR to shield dynamic import defer against Promise.prototype monkey patching, an updated agenda reflecting revised discussion time and interaction with a related proposal, and links to slides for documentation and presentation. Also captured a personal schedule constraint to coordinate meeting topics. This work reduces risk by hardening the proposal against monkey-patching vectors, improves reviewer and stakeholder clarity with a refreshed agenda, and accelerates preparation through ready-to-present slides and documentation.
