+To prepare for this meeting: read tickets:
+
+* #1832 (support indefinite leases with garbage collection)
+* #1833 (storage server deletes garbage shares itself instead of waiting for crawler to notice them)
+* #1834 (stop using share crawler for anything except constructing a leasedb)
+* #1835 (stop grovelling the whole storage backend looking for externally-added shares to add a lease to)
+* #1836 (use leasedb (not crawler) to figure out how many shares you have and how many bytes)
+* #1837 (remove the "override lease duration" feature)
