The focus will be on committee goals and the ongoing election phase. | Chair and Vice Chair attendance is highly encouraged to represent MCC. | | Translation Milestones | Boaz and Laurentine confirmed they are "done" with the current batch of website translations. No new tasks have been sent by the Intersect team recently. | These efforts are officially counted as a Q1 achievement for the committee. | | New Initiative: Cardano.org | Maureen proposed a new project to translate the official Cardano.org website into French, noting it currently lacks a French version despite support for other languages. | Boaz and Laurentine expressed immediate interest; Maureen will coordinate the technical setup. | | Onboarding & Comms | Chaya submitted three new pieces for publication on X and LinkedIn, including spotlights on enterprise members and a guide to the committee election process. | Chaya is also developing a plan to align Intersect enterprise benefits with the Midnight ecosystem. | | Committee Re-applications | Several current members confirmed they are reapplying for their seats in the upcoming election, including Olivier, Fanny, Boaz, and Chaya. | There are five open seats available in the current election cycle. | | New Candidate: William | William (Zambia) introduced himself, highlighting his background in the tech space and his success in the Cardano 2026 hackathon in Kenya. | William is running for an MCC seat to contribute technical and regional insights. | | Candidate Spotlight: Chaya | Chaya shared her vision for decentralized governance, noting that external communities (like XRP) are watching Intersect as a flagship model for adoption. | Her focus remains on the flow of talent and enterprise membership. | | Candidate Spotlight: Olivier | Olivier (GMA Hub) discussed his history since 2021 as a trainer and reviewer. He recently onboarded three new paid Intersect members in Nairobi. | He currently serves as a milestone reviewer for Project Catalyst. | | Candidate Spotlight: Girish | Girish (India) introduced his background as a serial entrepreneur and university alumni. He is focused on asset tokenization (Maxronize) and global networking. | Girish aims to leverage his "Hacker House" in Delhi to provide on-ground visibility for Cardano. | | Candidate Spotlight: Wilco | Wilco highlighted his work with the USDM stablecoin and Midnight blockchain. He emphasized the need for committees to "get things done" rather than just talking. | Wilco previously organized critical ClickUp and Mirror workshops for the committee. | | Candidate Spotlight: Fanny | Fanny is writing a book to introduce Cardano and Intersect to the Indonesian community, leveraging her background in accounting and MBA alumni network. | She will attend the opening of a Web3 blockchain education center in Surabaya this month. | | Hubs Post-Mortem Vote | Abhik announced a new 48-hour voting window on Discord to decide whether to publish the 2024-2025 Hubs Post-Mortem report publicly on X and Discord. | This follows previous concerns about transparency and the timeline for community review. | | Election X Spaces | Abhik clarified that 13 candidates are currently running. Instead of a formal form, the committee is using X posts and tagging applicants to invite them to weekly Monday spaces. | Candidates who haven't spoken yet are encouraged to reach out to Abhik to be included in the next space. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
