+### Agenda
+
+#### Christian Mesh, new Tech Lead of OpenTofu project
+
+##### Discussion
+
+- What is the definition of this role? Responsibilities?
+- Who should define the roles/responsibilities?
+- The team is very focused on 1.8, we do not want to context switch them to bureaucratic tasks.
+- We might want to write down the TL's responsibilities after 1.8.x.
+
+##### Decision
+
+All in favor (WB, IS, ZG, RF, and RS)
+
+#### Backend-as-Plugins
+
+Continuation of the discussion from 2024-05-07.
+
+##### Discussion
+
+- A written-down product/project vision would help us to make decisions on topics such as e.g. backends as plugins.
+- Do we need a RFC in order to vote on something as a steering committee?
+
+  - Want to avoid appearance of bias as TACOs putting thumb on the scale for the roadmap
+  - Is there a chicken-egg — companies want the idea to be accepted before investing in RFC, and the steering committee similarly wants a real RFC before agreeing.
+
+- Backends as Plugins
+
+  - @Roni Frantchi - Not convinced this is the right solution or something really worth prioritizing
+  
+  - @Igor Savchenko - it really needs an RFC for us to know what we’re voting on, it’s too abstract right now
+
+  - @Roni Frantchi - if the steering committee says “OK lets see an RFC” is that actually interpreted as a green light for the community - once the RFC is up we’d move on it?
+
+##### Decision
+
+We cannot vote without a RFC.
