Abhik clarified that Intersect Town Halls occur the last Thursday of every month at 12:00 PM UTC via StreamYard/YouTube. | Action: Maureen to add specific Town Hall details to the onboarding documentation. | | Member Area Updates | Maureen updated the GitBook and members area, removing inactive names and adding current members. | Members are encouraged to verify their names on the updated site. | | Community Support Framework | Fanny presented a Phase 1 blueprint (Jan–Mar) for recognizing community support roles, including community builders, educators, and technical contributors. | Fanny plans to launch a Google Form to collect contributor data and spotlight missions. | | Contributor Spotlights | Chaya confirmed she is working on regular articles and posts for Discord, X, and the Intersect development letter to highlight enterprise and community members. | Fanny’s blueprint will help standardize documentation for these posts. | | Guest: Dora Hacks | Steve (CSO of Dora Hacks) introduced their platform's capabilities for launching and managing hackathons using AI to streamline logistics and developer engagement. | Steve emphasized that hackathons are the beginning of ecosystem building, not just one-off events. | | Hackathon Follow-up | Jose shared experiences from Latin American hackathons. Steve offered Dora Hacks as a unified platform to track global Cardano events and support teams post-hackathon. | Action: Abhik to coordinate a pilot program call between Dora Hacks and the MCC hubs team. | | Budget Framework Proposal | Fanny proposed a standardized 2026 budget framework for MCC workstreams, including templates for requests and cost breakdowns to ensure operational continuity for hubs. | Volunteers: Wilco and Chaya will assist Fanny in drafting the budget request templates. | | Hub KPIs & Benefits | Akheel shared a draft of the 2026 Hub KPIs focusing on growth, retention, engagement, and governance.

Boaz and Laurentine were identified as multilingual leads for the French-speaking community. | Action: Lorenzo to facilitate using the "Pro Editor" tool for community-led translations. | | Async Communication | Maureen and Wilco expressed frustration over "silos" and lack of response in Discord.
