# Upcoming meetings for 2020

## Schedule ASAP

- nullability expectations for `bool Equals(R? other)` and `Type EqualityContract { get; }` and `R? <Clone>$()` and `void Deconstruct(out string? NotNullableStringProperty)`. (Julien)
- Allow mixed declaration and assignment in deconstruction (Julien, community [PR](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/44476))

## Schedule when convenient

- How can we improve the capture of unfinished business, both in terms of making sure the LDM comes back to remaining open issues, and in terms of keeping the feature specs in sync with LDM decisions?
