### Motion — Publish Budget Committee Budget Ask to Ecclesia for DRep Feedback

**Motion:** Approve the release of the Budget Committee's 2026 budget ask to the Ecclesia framework tool so that DReps can begin providing feedback.

* **Mover:** Jose Velazquez
* **Second:** Eric Helms

#### Discussion

**Nicolas Cerny** noted he supported voting today but suggested the committee use the rest of the working-session time to make any final refinements before publication. **Lloyd Duhon** confirmed that any changes the committee directs over the coming weeks will be made to the document the same day they are requested — the document remains fully editable in Ecclesia after publication.

**Lloyd** clarified the meaning of the vote:

* **Yes** = Lloyd will copy the current contents into Ecclesia and submit it as a proposal draft, opening it for DRep feedback.
* **No** = Wait; do not yet publish.

He further confirmed that whatever form the document is in at the **end of today's working session** is what will be published.

#### Roll Call Vote

| Nicolas Cerny        | **Abstain** |
| Otávio Lima          | Yes         |

**Result:** **Motion carries** (5 Yes, 1 Abstain).

The Budget Committee's 2026 budget ask will be published to Ecclesia following the close of today's working session, opening the proposal for DRep feedback.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-budget-committee/committee-meeting-notes/2026-meeting-notes/budget-committee-weekly-meetings/april-29th-2026-budget-working-session-vote-record.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
