Unless there are objections I intend to assign myself a BIP number for a postmortem for this event.

I've already been reaching out to parties involved in or impacted by the fork to gather information, but I do not intend to begin drafting for a few days (past expirence has shown that it takes time to gain more complete understanding after an event).

If anyone is aware of services or infrastructure which were impacted by this which I should contact to gain insight for the analysis, please contact me off-list.

If anyone is interested in contributing to an analysis, let me know and I'll link you to my repository when I begin drafting. If you have begun your own write up, please do not send it to me yet-- I'd rather collect more data before drawing any analysis from it myself.

Thanks.
