We have long needed an Errata section for Final EIPs. Probably at the end. Either we change the original and call out the change in the Errata section, or call out the error in the Errata section. Either works, and either can be supported by Github.

[SamWilsn]

If you'd like a formal decision on adding an errata section, I'd suggest opening a pull request to modify EIP-1 and eip-template.md, and then opening a Call for Input to collect input from all the Editors. Don't forget to post the call for input in Discord.

I normally use this template:

## Call for Input

<table>
<tr>
<th>Decision</th>
<td>

<!-- Pose a question that Editors can agree or disagree with -->

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>If Affirmed</th>
<td>

<!-- Describe what happens if the rough consensus is to answer the question in the affirmative -->

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>If Rejected</th>
<td>

<!-- Describe what happens if the rough consensus is to reject the question -->

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Method</th>
<td>Rough Consensus</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Deadline</th>
<td>

<!-- 30 days from when the CFI is created -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>

# Background

<!-- Include any relevant context for EIP Editors here -->

I think we need to discuss it first, given there are at least two ways to handle them.

Summary

1. EIP Process Standardization

Adding "Errata" section for Final EIPs.

• @gcolvin advocated for the need for "Errata" for PR
• @xinbenlv supports adding "Errata" section to the proposal.
• @g11tech is not in favor of allowing changes to a Final EIP. He suggested to just move away from authors to maintainers, people can comment on authorship in discussion to link.
• Sam also mentioned the proposal for EIP Versioning by testing team. It may help.
• @SamWilsn as the "keeper of consensus" highlighted that Call for Input: Adding Additional Author to ERC-5169 opened to collect editors' feedback was open for over a month. And the decision is "No new author is added."
• Unless there is any new argument by the present author, the decision will remain the same.
• Any new author/proposer for an Ethereum standard must be sure that the proposal will not be updated including the list of authors, once moved to Final status.
• Long discussion, can be followed on the recording.

Working Group Charter

• @SamWilsn shared the link to collect feedback and is willing to present it to the editors' group in the upcoming meeting.

2. Discuss Open Issues/PRs, and other topics

ethereum/ERCs#213

• @SamWilsn & @g11tech are okay to merge it.
• Sam will merge the PR asap.

Call for Input

#306

• It is for back references for a later EIP to an earlier one.
• It would look like ERC 223 would have a header in it - Supersedes: 20 and on ERC-20 page there will be a list of all of the things of ERC-223 claiming to supersede ERC-20. This will improve navigation between proposals that claim to supersede.
• @SamWilsn is in favor of the proposal.
• @g11tech is not in favor. However, as long as clutter can be managed, he'll be fine with it.
• @gcolvin hasn't added input on the link
• Requesting editors to add comments asap.

3. Other discussions continued or updates from past meetings

RIP process documentation

• No new info is collected from the RIP team. However, any new documentation/ explanation for the process will be highly appreciated.

Web Page Rendering to include EIPs, ERCs, RIPs

• As of date, eips.ethereum.org includes EIPs and RIPs data but does not render RIPs. @poojaranjan will inform the group if there is any success in rendering RIPs.
• In parallel, @SamWilsn is working on page rendering based on the working group. The output will contain RIP data as well.

4. EIPs Insight - Monthly EIPs status reporting.
