Interval data type

Discussion around a proposal to introduce an interval (i.e. similar to time delta) data type.

Datafusion process

A previous discussion around incorporating datafusion was restarted, when WM raised the fact that an IP clearance vote may be needed to merge in the codebase, but it was later found to probably not be an issue.

Registering MIME types

People voted on the proposal to officially register MIME types for Arrow formats - so far every vote has been affirmative.
