+### 📝 Agenda points
+
+#### Updating ITP backlogs
+
+Colin has been doing an overall audit of the whole curriculum, particularly with a focus on ITP.
+
+Backlogs are currently not amazingly clean - some stuff is duplicated, maybe too much is mandatory, it's hard to see what's meant to be an every week habit.
+
+Colin is drafting cleaning up and organising the backlogs.
+
+A lot of the backlog issues have a lot of overlap.
+
+How do we care about numbering of tasks?
+- Most of the needs are met by the categorisation Colin is now doing.
+- Drawing attention to "Read this before class" could still be useful - maybe an optional section that appears above mandatory.
+
+Will also be running through PD with Karen to work out what is/isn't important and what we may want to change.
+
+#### Tests in the curriculum
+
+We should maybe remove the DOM tests from Data Groups Sprint 3 - they're mostly confusing, and people don't have enough test nous to really reason about them anyway.
+
+#### Tasks for Anna to pick up over Christmas
+
+We discussed a bunch of options, and will forward them on :)
