+### Details
+
+Every fourth Friday, the Rust compiler team decides how
+it is going to use its scheduled steering and design meeting time over the next
+three Fridays.
+
+On Friday, 10 June, we will do a quarterly [review of the open P-high issues][compiler-team#559].
+pnkfelix will do some ahead of time work [in zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/reviewing.20P-high.20issues.202022.20.28Q3.29/near/300390068)
+triaging
+some of the issues, and potentially prepare a meeting document summarizing the
+remainder, to maximize the quality of our synchronous in-meeting time.
+
+On Friday, 7 October, we will do a [retrospective][compiler-team#544] on the 2022 T-compiler surveys
+that were used to drive the February ambitions post and the midyear update post.
+We will talk about the questions that were asked, what we wish had been asked,
+what value we got from the survey as it went, and what to do the same and/or
+differently in the future. (In principle, this meeting should inform the way
+that we drive the retrospective on how the year as a whole went for the compiler
+team.)
+
+On Friday, 14 October, we will discuss how to [deal with "disabled tests"][compiler-team#540]:
+tests that are turned off at some point (e.g. due to failures in a component we
+do not control). We do not currently have any protocols in place to review such
+tests or decide when to try to re-enabling them.
+
+On Friday, 21 October, we will hold our planning meeting for the next steering
+cycle in October and November.
+
+Each meeting will run from 2pm to 3pm GMT, and will take place on the
+[T-compiler/meetings zulip stream][zulip].
