1What the call is
John Calhoun speaks with Connor Murray of the BSV Association on Wednesday October 14 at 2:00 PM Eastern (7:00 PM London, 8:00 PM Zug). Connor may bring colleagues. The call was set up before the association existed, for John's own technical program, and that stays its first purpose. The association is the closing item.
2John's program, the pre-read Connor receives
Four public pages went to Connor on Monday morning. They describe an executable, machine-checked specification of BSV script consensus, a harness that runs SV-node, Teranode and the SDKs against it and produces a witness transaction for every disagreement, the application-layer machines above it, and the open Rust stack checked against them.

Why this matters to the association: when a listing team asks what changed since the 2021 attacks, part of the answer is a specification anyone can run and conformance evidence for every implementation. The program is John's. What the association adopts from it is a board decision under the conflict-of-interest policy.
3The association segment, five minutes at the end
One sentence opens it: John is the named Director of BSV USA, a US market-access working group in formation, and it wants to work with the BSV Association rather than around it. Then four asks.
| ask | acceptable outcome |
|---|---|
| A working-group MoU: BSV USA on US market access, the BSVA on protocol and brand | agreement in principle, a named reviewer on their side, a date to review the draft |
| What "relistings underway" means, venue by venue, so nobody duplicates an application | a shared tracker with venues coded where confidential, one contact per venue |
| A joint public line: neither body funds, brings or threatens litigation against exchanges | wording agreed in principle, a named signer |
| Connor as a guest on the next weekly Space | a date and the topics cleared |
The MoU draft is in this packet. It is a leave-behind sent by email the day after the call, not a document to negotiate on the call.
4What John will not say
No listing dates or approvals, no funding, no formation documents that do not exist yet, no rename, nothing about the Robinhood contact until it is verified, nothing that binds the BSV Association.
5What comes back to the team
Within a day of the call: who was on it, what was agreed on each ask, the next date, and the MoU as sent. Nothing about the call is posted publicly before then.
6Decisions we need from reviewers
For Organizers, Gavin unless an item names someone. Reply in the group chat with the document and the number, for example "The BSV Association call, Wednesday October 14 D2".
