## Agenda 5.05.26
* Open Forum
## Decisions/Actions
**Decisions**
* **Approval of Transition Period:** The committee agreed to invite newly elected members to the next meeting and request that outgoing members remain for 1–2 weeks to hand over their experience.
* **Adoption of Discord Voting for Proposals:** Due to a lack of physical quorum for voting, the committee officially decided to conduct proposal discussions during meetings and move all formal endorsement votes to Discord.
* **Use of a Standardized Criteria Spreadsheet:** The committee agreed to utilize a multi-criteria review framework (modeled after last year's Excel spreadsheet) to evaluate incoming proposals uniformly.
* **Establishment of Core Review Criteria:** The committee approved four preliminary criteria for proposal evaluation: Alignment with Vision 2030, alignment with the GMC framework, budget/team trustworthiness, and a growth component.
* **Unified Commenting Policy:** The committee decided that all official proposal feedback must be submitted collectively under the official GMC handle rather than by members individualizing their feedback as committee representatives.
**Actions**
* **Lara:** Draft the formal wording, classifications, and growth component options for the proposal review criteria.
* **Lara:** Post the finalized evaluation criteria to Discord for a committee-wide vote.
* **Lara:** Extend the standard commenting framework (being written by Jack, Lorenzo, and Simo) with GMC-specific step-by-step procedures once the criteria are approved.
* **Lara:** Compile the selected Intersect marketing and innovation proposals into a single document template.
* **Lara:** Distribute the commenting framework and proposal package via email and Discord to both current and newly elected committee members for their feedback.
* **Lara:** monitor community comments, requests, and questions directed at the GMC on the proposal platform.
| Topic | Discussion | Notes |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Election Results Update | Lara noted that the release of the election results was postponed due to ongoing audits and checks. The marketing and communications team is waiting for official clearance from the auditors before publishing them. | The results were delayed by one day but are expected to be posted very soon, pending final contact from Lorenzo and the web team. |
| New Member Onboarding | Laura and Lara discussed inviting newly elected members to next week's meeting via email. Lara suggested asking members who were not re-elected to stay on for 1-2 weeks to help transition their experience. | Laura agreed this was a good idea. The transition will utilize the new member onboarding package and internal GMC documents. |
| Onboarding Documentation | Lara reviewed the internal documents to be shared with new members, including the framework sheet and the KPI sheet. Laura reminded the team of a third critical document regarding ethics and the charter. | Laura also recommended pointing new members to the Vision 2030 document due to its extreme importance. Lara noted this down for inclusion. |
| Meeting Quorum & Voting | Lara noted that today's meeting was not meant for decision-making but rather discussion, as they lacked full attendance. Laura, Lara, and Reshan agreed to hold discussions during the meeting and move final votes to Discord. | Reshan supported starting the meeting under this approach. Lara recapped this plan for Otávio once he joined the call. |
| Proposal Review Process | Laura suggested reviewing the Hydra tooling and proposals assigned to the marketing category. Lara shared an official update from Simo stating that Lorenzo and Jack should have a final version of the commenting framework by the end of the week. | Because proposal submissions end May 8th and only two committee meetings remain in that timeframe, the team will compile proposals and discuss them collectively. |
| Review Distribution & Feedback | Lara proposed consolidating the selected proposals into a single meeting, writing everything down, and sharing the official format via email and Discord. | This consolidated package will also be used to request feedback and opinions from the newly elected committee members. |
| Evaluation Criteria Setup | Laura recalled using an Excel spreadsheet last year with 3-4 specific criteria to review and tick off for each proposal, which helped determine which ones to support. | Lara noted that while the wording needs to be tweaked to align with this year's remit, the previous structure will serve as a strong baseline. |
| Proposal Evaluation Criteria | Laura and Lara finalized a list of four core criteria for proposal evaluation: alignment to Vision 2030, alignment to the GMC framework, budget and team reliability, and a growth component. | Lara will draft the specific wording and classification for each criterion, including a list of optional definitions for the growth component. |
| Discord Criteria Vote | Laura suggested putting the final selection of review criteria to a vote on Discord to ensure the committee agrees on the same standards before reviewing proposals. | Lara will base the draft on the standard framework being written by Jack, Lorenzo, and Simo, adding step-by-step GMC details once approved. |
| Proposal Volume and Scope | Lara checked the portal to review current proposals, noting it was loading slowly. She identified a large volume of entries but determined that IO's infrastructure-based proposals do not fall under the GMC's remit. | The committee will focus strictly on the Intersect budget proposals, specifically looking at roughly 15 to 20 proposals within marketing and innovation. |
| Official GMC Commenting Policy | Lara and Laura discussed communication protocols, advising committee members against commenting on proposals individually unless they explicitly state they are speaking as an individual DREP/voter and not on behalf of the GMC. | Lara is the sole operator of the official GMC handle and will submit all consensus comments. She will also monitor community feedback and questions directed at the committee. |
