+## Attendees
+
+* Alex Vespa [@vespa7](https://github.com/vespa7)
+* Ethan Arrowood [@Ethan-Arrowood](https://github.com/Ethan-Arrowood)
+* Jacob Smith [@JakobJingleheimer](https://github.com/JakobJingleheimer) (chair)
+* Jordan Harband [@ljharb](https://github.com/ljharb)
+* Pietro Marchini [@pmarchini](https://github.com/pmarchini)
+
+## Topics
+
+* `t.skip()` Others (tape, etc) to not behave like this.
+* standardising test runner design
+  * https://github.com/WinterTC55/proposal-minimum-common-api/issues/32
+  * https://github.com/WinterTC55/proposal-minimum-common-api/issues/68
+* [doc(proposal): `expectFailure` label and/or matcher](https://github.com/nodejs/test-runner/pull/10)
+* [doc(proposal): un/break `--test`](https://github.com/nodejs/test-runner/pull/13)
+
+## Outcomes
+
+* General agreement that `t.skip()`'s behaviour is wrong (likely an accident/bug/mistake, which the docs seem to support).
+* General agreement that it would be good to standardise node's test-runner at the WinterTC55 level, if we can, but might be a very uphill battle. Perhaps better to audit our and others' design and adjust (and then take that to WinterTC).
+* https://github.com/nodejs/test-runner/pull/10 ready to approve
+* Un/break `--test`
+  * option 3
+    * leave `--watch` as-is
+      * in `test` mode, its value (`--watch` only enables watch mode)
+    * support `--watch-path` in test mode
+    * only `--test` N-times 1-to-1 with arg list, making it position-independent
+
+## Todos
+
+* Decide if fixing `t.skip()` is a breaking change.
+* Jordan to find & share his audit of test runner features to use as base-point.
+* Jacob to incorporate "option 3" to https://github.com/nodejs/test-runner/pull/13 and tag team for review.
