+
+### Questions
+
+### Other notes
+
+**Base32 CidV1 Progress:**
+
+@kevina has been working steadly toward the goal to switch to base32.  Go-ipfs now can retrive a block regadress of what CID version it is in.
+
+He has created a a meta issue for tracking the progress in go-ipfs: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/5358
+
+He will continue to work steadly towards the goal but needs feedback on several issues:
+  * Handling of Alternative Multibases [#5349](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/5349) _(could use feedback from: @Stebalien @lidel @lgierth)_
+  * How to handle CIDv0 as we migrate to CIDV1 [#5291](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/5291) _(could use feedback from: @whyrusleeping @Stebalien)_
+  * Create config option for specifying full default cidv1 parameters [#5230](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/5230) _(could use feedback from: @whyrusleeping @daviddias)_
+
+#5349 and #5230 and are the most pressing and blocking full multibase support in go-ipfs.  #5291 is less pressing but he would really appeciate @daviddias and @whyrusleeping insight.
+
+For all issues and p.r. related to Base32 CidV1 search using the `cidv1b32` tag: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/labels/cidv1b32
