Re: [SG16] Agenda for the 2021-12-01 SG16 telecon

From: Tom Honermann <tom_at_[hidden]>

This is your friendly reminder that this telecon will take place tomorrow.

If we manage to get through both LWG3639 and P2286R3, we'll resume
discussion of P2361R4 (Unevaluated strings) and potentially poll
forwarding it.

Tom.
