[CIVICS Committee (Intersect) Meeting - 2026/06/25 14:58 CEST - Notes by Gemini](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v0cgHPsvBA51XJX0K68-44b9eFOLz6Om-QeW9yxY88g/edit?tab=t.9twjcadttp1g)
#### Agenda Items
* Intersect Steering Committee (ISC) & Technical Steering Committee (TSC) Updates
* Constitutional Committee (CC) Size Change Parameter Voting Status
* Working Group Progress: CAP & Governance Incentives
* Q3 Planning, Priority Alignment & Communications
* Calidus Keys Voting Educational Briefing
* Intersect Virtual Hub Event Coordination
* Governance Ecosystem Tooling Realities (GovTool & Eternal Wallet)
* Constitutional Committee (CC) Candidate Pipeline and Verification
#### Decisions/Actions
**Decisions Made**
* SPO Calidus Keys Voting Deferral: Due to multiple committee members requesting more time to read background materials, the committee deferred the endorsement vote for ledger-level Calidus key integration to the next formal meeting.
* GDPR Strategy for CAP Tool: The committee agreed to omit email alerts in the first version of the Constitutional Amendment Process (CAP) tool to circumvent complex GDPR privacy delays and keep deployment on schedule.
* Commitment to Monthly X Spaces: The committee rejected a weekly broadcast cadence in favor of committing to one high-value monthly X Space focused on engagement, education, and hosting external guests.
* Ecosystem Event Prioritization: The committee decided to prioritize leveraging upcoming Intersect Virtual Hub rooms for time-sensitive CC election pitches and CAP demos over an immediate Kaledus key focus.
**Action Items**
* S & KE: Coordinate asynchronously to address low attendance patterns in the Governance Incentives Working Group and assess alternative scheduling blocks.
* JD: Track the release of the impending Intersect rewards policy overview report authored by Lorenzo and report back to the group for feedback.
* BA & LM: Collaborate directly to map out the tactical 12-week communication template for Q3 utilizing Intersect's shared social infrastructure.
* BA & TL: Connect with outside engineers (such as Martin Lang) to gauge technical slot requirements for future virtual hub sandbox presentations.
* TL & Mike: Finalize administrative credential vetting for the three late-registering CC candidates before the weekend verification cutoff.
* The Group: Access the community blog post shared by BA to review the operational and technical trade-offs of SPO hot signature derivations.
#### Topic Notes
| Topic | Discussion | Notes |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1. Parameter Vote | KE presented on-chain metrics for the minimum CC size reduction action, tracking at 41.48% out of a required 75% approval floor. | TL noted that several large DReps commanding over 100 million ADA are giving favorable feedback but have not yet voted. |
| 2. CAP Specifications | TL reported ongoing back-end infrastructure prep to get the portal fully hosted within a week or two. | Stake-weighted on-chain proposal signaling has been earmarked as an architecture request for future versions. |
| 3. Incentives Health | The incentives working group failed to find a quorum this week as several members experienced direct calendar scheduling conflicts. | NS committed to aligning with Simon to restructure the meeting block to recover lost participant momentum. |
| 4. Structural Scarcity | JD advocated for a lean "less is more" strategy focus for Q3, advising the committee to divide limited, unfunded hours across two highly critical priorities. | BA highlighted that a record intake of 10 distinct candidate profiles has successfully expanded the pipeline for the CC election. |
| 5. Broadcast Strategy | LM pointed out the difficulty of sustaining empty weekly schedules. BA noted that a single, tightly consolidated monthly broadcast prevents exhaustion. | The committee will actively cross-participate in native community spaces such as Cardano Over Coffee and Epoch End. |
| 6. Calidus Security | KE, IH, and BA explained to the group that Calidus keys serve as a "hot ID card" authorized by an air-gapped cold passport key. | If a hot wallet profile is ever compromised, it can be immediately rotated without putting underlying core pool signatures at risk. |
| 7. Tooling Casualties | JD raised concerns over breaking connection changes inside the new Eternal Wallet update that prevent voting on non-CLI platforms. | TL and LM confirmed GovTool is frozen in status quo maintenance with zero bug-fixing support after falling victim to a lack of funding. |
| 8. Vetting Infractions | TL flagged that two CC applicants generated critical security assets in hot, online configurations, rendering their cold credentials invalid. | Unverified profiles will be disqualified and dropped from the final Ekklesia voting pool if they fail to regenerate keys cleanly on time. |
