+team: The Compiler Team <https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/compiler>
+---
+On [Friday, January 14th][jan-14-zulip-archive], the Rust Compiler team had a planning meeting for the January steering cycle.
+
+[jan-14-zulip-archive]: https://zulip-archive.rust-lang.org/stream/238009-t-compiler/meetings/topic/.5Bplanning.20meeting.5D.202022-01-14.html
+
+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, 28 January][jan-28-mtg], we will be having a meeting to
+discuss the  backlog of P-high issues (there are currently [86 such issues][p-high-issue-list]). pnkfelix will prepare a document to drive the meeting, with a categorization of the issues, especially in terms of how they relate to specific subteams.

+[p-high-issue-list]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AP-high
+
+On Friday, 4 February, we will be having a meeting to
+discuss any beta regressions or backports that are pending for the
+Rust 1.59 release (due out 24 February, 2022). (We did not file a
+meeting proposal for this meeting, but you can see a similar meeting
+proposal that was used to drive an analogous meeting for the 1.48 release
+[here](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/382).)
+
+Each meeting will run from 2pm to 3pm GMT, and will take place on the
+[T-compiler/meetings zulip stream][zulip].
