+## 1 Welcome, opening and meeting logistics
+
+**Luca Casotano**, chair of TC55, began the teleconference and welcomed attendees. All attendees were informed that the meeting was recorded and transcribed by Google Gemini for the purpose of note-taking, and directed to review the [video recording and legal disclaimer](https://github.com/WinterTC55/admin/tree/main/VIDEO_RECORDING_AND_LEGAL_DISCLAIMER.md) if they were not familiar.
+
+## 2 Approval of the minutes of the virtual meeting of 7 August 2025
+
+In addition to its addition to the Ecma file server and distribution to Ecma members, the minutes are published as [a pull request on GitHub]()https://github.com/WinterTC55/admin/pull/134. The committee confirmed they’d reviewed the PR and the vice chair merged it.
+
+## 3 Review of the agenda
+
+The agenda was created from the comments on [the meeting’s associated GitHub issue](https://github.com/WinterTC55/admin/issues/136), as is the standard practice for TC55. It was proposed and approved at the start of the meeting.
+
+* Review of the notes for last meeting (5 min)
+* Approval of this meeting's agenda (2 min)
+* Review of Ecma IPR policy (1 min)
+  * TC55 is a Royalty-Free Technical committee, which means it operates under the [Royalty-free patent policy](https://ecma-international.org/policies/by-ipr/royalty-free-patent-policy-extension-option/), an extension of the Ecma [Code of Conduct in Patent Matters](https://ecma-international.org/policies/by-ipr/code-of-conduct-in-patent-matters/)
+  * Make sure you have reviewed this policy and, where applicable, so has your legal team
+* Does TC55 plan to attend W3C TPAC?
+  * Are there any proposed breakout sessions?
+  * Are there any proposed joint meetings?
+* Consider finding a better schedule for these meetings
+* Brainstorming HTTP server API
+* Runtime keys
+
+## 4 Discussions
+
+### 4.1 Runtime Keys
+
+**Ethan Arrowood** presented an [initial discussion](https://github.com/WinterTC55/runtime-keys/issues/23#issuecomment-3117468534) of how the committee will handle a Runtime Keys technical report. **Owen Buckley** brought up a concern that the existence of such a registry could lead to the opposite of the desired effect—harming interoperability if runtimes can distinguish themselves in this way. Further discussion compared a runtime keys registry to [Browserslist](https://browsersl.ist/), which has notably been a useful tool for developers without triggering a second browsers war.
+
+The committee also discussed discoverability and dissemination strategy. Owen suggested making additions to npm and runtime documentation, Ethan volunteered to propose that change in the Node.js documentation.
+
+**Andreu Botella** suggested pitching each package manager to provide information on all runtimes they support and offering that information as a search filter. He will add a comment or issue to the Runtime Keys repository to describe in further detail.
+The committee is not familiar with the format of Technical Reports, a template will be supplied by the Secretary.
+
+### 4.2 Conference attendance
+
+#### 4.2.1 W3C TPAC
+
+**Luca Casonato** made a call for who all may be attending TPAC to see if anyone was intending to plan for a breakout session or joint meeting with W3C or WHATWG attendees. **Andreu Botella** plans to attend and engage on some one-on-one conversations with representatives from the other SDOs, but will not be proposing a breakout session.
+
+#### 4.2.2 Other events
+
+**Ethan Arrowood** brought up an interest in putting together a list of events relevant to TC55 for the purpose of dissemination both in physical presence and giving talks.
+
+#### 4.2.3 JSConf JP
+
+Andreu Botella** has proposed a TC55-related talk at JSConf JP in November.
+
+### 4.3 HTTP Server API
+
+Now that the Fetch API is approaching having been fully reviewed, **Luca Casonato** suggested that it may be time to start designing an HTTP server. The committee brainstormed potential necessary APIs in [a GitHub issue](https://github.com/WinterTC55/admin/issues/137).
+
+### 4.4 import.meta.url
+
+**Owen Buckley** expressed a desire for Cloudflare to implement the API `import.meta.url` in workerd and brought it to the attention
+
+## 5 Any other business
+
+The chairs have heard from participants in the US West Coast and China that are unable to attend TC55 meetings due to its current scheduled time. They discussed attempting a rotating schedule, but decided that turnout would not be low at each session to warrant it. Luca Casonato will put together a Doodle poll.
+
+## 6 Next meetings
+
+The next meetings will take place as Google Meet video calls fortnightly. The next scheduled is on 18 September 2025.
+
+### 6.1 Past and Future Agendas
+
+Agendas are built via GitHub issues in the WinterTC [admin repo](https://github.com/WinterTC55/admin/issues), and remain available in perpetuity.
+
+## 7 Conclusion
+
+The Chairs wrapped up the meeting and the call concluded.
