## Summary
The CDNI Working Group held an interim meeting on Thursday. Due to low attendance and a lack of quorum, the session was adjourned early without formal progression of any working group documents. The attendees agreed to move discussions to the mailing list to progress the active drafts.

## Key Discussion Points
* **Attendance and Quorum:** The meeting suffered from low attendance. Chris Lemmons noted that the working group lacked a sufficient quorum to progress any active items. 
* **Metadata Expression Language (MEL):** Chris Lemmons noted that he had completed a full review of [draft-ietf-cdni-metadata-expression-language](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cdni-metadata-expression-language/) (referred to as MEL metadata), but further progression requires broader working group participation.
* **SCTE Expo Hybrid Meeting Proposal:** Ben Rosenblum suggested holding a hybrid in-person/remote session at the upcoming SCTE Expo to improve attendance. Alan Arolovitch indicated he would be attending. However, Chris Lemmons noted that there was insufficient time to meet the IETF's two-week notice requirement for scheduling an official session.
* **Mailing List Issues:** Sanjay Mishra reported that a meeting reminder email sent to the CDNI mailing list was temporarily held up by the IETF's email verification system, which contributed to some delivery delays.

## Decisions and Action Items
* **Adjournment:** Chris Lemmons, with the agreement of Sanjay Mishra, officially adjourned the meeting early due to the lack of quorum.

## Next Steps
* **Asynchronous Discussion:** Working group members are encouraged to share their feedback and thoughts on active drafts, particularly [draft-ietf-cdni-metadata-expression-language](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cdni-metadata-expression-language/), on the CDNI mailing list to continue moving the work forward.
