It will include offering support to the Interim Constitutional Committee (ICC) and other parts of the governing structures * Tasks of the working group proposed: * Providing admin and facilitation resources to the ICC * Source support services for the ICC * Monitor tools for on-chain voting * Update guidelines and templates for on-chain voting * Provide non-binding recommendations as requested by the community on governance. It was discussed that this task is too vague and needs to be refined. * Funds required for this will be part of the Cardano budget request #### Budget request for Cardano governance * The process for the governance support budget of 2025 was discussed. * It was noted that the budgeting estimation would benefit from conversations with the ICC and DReps to understand their needs. * The budget for 2025, once approved, will then allow for proposals to be submitted to the CCC against that budget. The proposals must include the administration of the governance support funds allocated * It was also noted that the budget for 2026 needs to commence very shortly following 2025. #### Progress update from Constitution Ratification Working Group * 16 Constitutional workshops are complete. * The first delegate synthesis workshops are in progress. * The CCC is actively certifying the constitutional delegate workshops * Data outputs/review * Most questions still need more responses or diversity of responses. * Asking workshop hosts to select questions that require more responses, and deprioritize questions that have more data. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-civics-committee/meeting-minutes/2024-civics-meeting-minutes/civics-meeting-minutes-september-05-2024.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. 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.
