      • Consensys team to run CircleCI in parallel and measure results from GHA release (ensure that it works and disable Circle)
      • Acceptance on plan broad strokes, targeting 24.1.2 release with GHA (backup Circle)
      • Getting GHA merged in quickly so we can use snapshot builds

      • Specific follow up call scheduled 
    • Public/Private feature parity
      • Snap - need test cases for QBFT and Snap (snap server & snap client tests)
      • Soak / burn testing needs to consider private QBFT networks
