| Topic | Discussion | Notes |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Budget Proposal Review | Maureen emphasized that the 2026 budget is past its deadline. She incorporated community feedback regarding the Hubs structure and requested a final review/vote. | Lorenzo (previously) confirmed that proposals must be submitted in USD. |
| The Grid Proposal | The committee voted on whether to include "The Grid" ecosystem intelligence proposal in the final MCC budget. The proposal focuses on mapping enterprise members and ecosystem participants. | Decision: Passed with at least five "Yes" votes (Fanny, Sanjaya, Boaz, Maureen, Laurentine). |
| Hack India Hackathon | Steve (DoraHacks) and Mahesh (C# Corner) presented a global hackathon series proposal (requesting \~$70k total across partners). It aims to onboard 10,000 developers, with 20 in-person events in India. | Abhik noted that this series would act as a feeder for the main Cardano hackathon before India Blockchain Week. |
| Mandate Alignment | Maureen questioned if the hackathon proposal fits the MCC remit, suggesting it might align better with GMC (Growth & Marketing) or the Open Source Committee. | Decision: The committee voted (4 votes) to refer the partners to GMC and the Open Source Committee for coordination. |
| Hub Performance Data | Cullah (former hub manager) noted that while Intersect has KPI data from 2024, hub managers lost access once contracts expired. There is a "data vacuum" causing community mistrust. | Action: Abhik to "dig out" the 2024 hub statistics folder previously managed by former staff (Hannah/Nick). |
| Hub Transparency Dashboard | Maureen proposed adding 5,000 ADA to the budget for the MCC to build a public dashboard where hub leads can submit event titles, photos, and attendance metrics. | This aims to centralize data that is currently scattered across various reports. |
| Translation Milestone | Boaz and Laurentine reported that the French translation of the Intersect site is 99% complete, with over 1,900 terms, sentences, and buttons translated. | Laurentine expects 100% completion by the end of the day. |
| Committee Remit | Lorenzo (via Maureen) reminded the committee that an updated remit is a mandatory dependency for budget approval. The current live remit is from 2024 and is outdated. | Action: A formal updated remit must be drafted and approved by the end of February. |
| Media & Enterprise Onboarding | Chaya reported orienting founders at Consensus HK toward Cardano/Midnight. She is also formally onboarding two enterprise members today. | Chaya is now producing weekly highlights for the developer newsletter. |
| Contributor Spotlights | Chaya discussed her plan to feature individuals (e.g., Mercy from WADA). Maureen warned that spotlighting individuals over groups can lead to perceived bias or "flames" from those excluded. |
|
| Meeting "Rug" Conflict | Wilco questioned why a previous committee vote to open a budget meeting to the community was not respected, leading to the meeting being "rubbed" (closed/ended). | Abhik denied closing the meeting intentionally. Maureen moved the heated discussion to DMs. |
| Project Management | Maureen urged members to visit the ClickUp board and pick up tasks. She reminded the committee of the 20-hour monthly commitment requirement. |
