[Tom]

• Fx 59 feature prioritization done by QA and sent for review. Make sure your 59 projects have QA resources assigned: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rn-F3Kg_1_VznIxxXkAGGL8mVMSAdamZZI4f1O2r8HA/edit?pli=1#gid=4930337
• Some of the projects that requested QA resources don't have UX, meta bugs, implementation or documentation ready, hence QA is blocked. QA owners will reach out to dev teams tomorrow and will update statuses here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HLCYgwnFFj3sIBybrFM19VhccSaLuqwXaRPaGHj1Ap0/edit
