| Topic | Discussion | Notes |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Welcome & Technical Setup | Abhik opened the meeting using a dual-device login setup due to camera issues. General roll call and microphone checks were conducted for Martin and Sanjaya. | General check-ins. Abhik noted the rapid progression of the year heading into July. |
| Workstream Alignment | Martin and Sanjaya led a review of the Mirror board execution plan, requesting members to formally assign themselves to open workflows. Olivier proposed adding community hubs back to the execution board. | Members are permitted to split their time across multiple workstreams. Akheel switched his focus to include membership benefits. |
| Working Group Transition | Sanjaya and Abhik introduced a strategy to spin off high-priority workstreams into dedicated Working Groups to accommodate broader community and volunteer feedback. | Chaya expressed a willingness to contribute where needed based on her prior ClickUp task assignments. |
| Cross-Committee Synergies | Wilco shared feedback from the Growth & Marketing Committee (GMC) call, recommending that MCC build cross-committee working groups to prevent duplicated efforts regarding announcements and reports. | James and Abhik supported using Intersect's unified master board to align macro objectives. |
| Macro Northstar & Strategy | James questioned the overarching goal of the detailed tracking layouts. Sanjaya and Lorenzo clarified that because the MCC relies on volunteer structures, performance focuses on membership offerings and satisfaction over direct sales. | James suggested evaluating incentives like a free year of membership to drive individual sign-ups. |
| Working Group Deployment | Wilco delivered constructive criticism, urging the committee to finalize structural setups immediately after six weeks of discussion. Lorenzo outlined the formal criteria for a working group, which requires a designated lead to drive the weekly agenda. | Action: Sanjaya shared an initial project brief for the Member Recognition Badges working group for committee review. |
| Elected Member Accountability | James reminded the committee that voting members receive a stipend of 500 ADA per month and have a strict professional obligation to actively lead workstreams or face removal for non-participation. | Reminded members to move past any initial uncomfortability and take active slots. |
| Q2 Review & Q3 Targets | Abhik presented the Q2 Achievements and Q3/Q4 Planned Goals slide deck drafted by Martin and Sanjaya to collect structural feedback before the upcoming Intersect Steering Committee (ISC) call. | Wilco and Chaya suggested slimming down the Q4 list by consolidating duplicate fields like webinars, workshops, and mini-sessions. |
| Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) | Martin and Sanjaya initiated an official motion to recognize highly active observers Chaya and Wilco as certified Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to add formal credibility to their onboarding work. | Olivier GMA inquired about requirements for future SME selections. Martin clarified that it remains a committee-voted decision based on visible contribution history. |
| Membership Tiers Revision | Lorenzo reviewed updates to the Membership Value & Offering document. To ensure transparency during current funding constraints, Lorenzo is building a consolidated "Proposal Tab" summarizing approved items. | Future tiers include an Individual Plus structure and a wallet-verified Cardano DRep layer. |
| Activating Inactive Associates | Abhik raised a floor query on how to engage the 6,800+ inactive Associate members. Chaya recommended recording and photographing all live workshops to generate marketing and PR content. | Martin suggested creating an onboarding working group to pinpoint regional technical friction points. |
| Adjournment & Next Steps | Sanjaya left at the one-hour mark for the ISC meeting. Abhik closed the session, reminding members of the upcoming Intersect Insight and Intersect Connect events. | The meeting concluded; the next call will take place on July 2, 2026. |
