Focus is on organizing the Drive and ClickUp so new members aren't "lost." | Maureen called for volunteers to help audit working vs. completed documents. | | New Chair Policy | Simo clarified the new Intersect-wide policy for electing Chairs/Vice Chairs. The Vice Chair no longer automatically becomes the Chair. | Policy approved by IC to ensure standardized leadership transitions across all committees. | | Election Comms | Abhik announced an X Space featuring OSC, ISC, and MCC to promote committee elections and share positive member experiences. | Upcoming Town Hall (Thursday) and Virtual Hub session (April 16) will also focus on elections. | | Hubs Post-Mortem | Debate over the 2025 Hubs report. Abhik noted a lack of granular data on spending (e.g., receipts for food/drinks) from the previous year. | Maureen emphasized the need to show ROI to the community to justify future funding. | | Forward-Looking Models | Cullah explained that 2025 hubs were largely private contracts, making retroactive data disclosure difficult. Proposed moving toward an "event-based" model for 2026. |


| | Budget "Penciling" | Lorenzo confirmed he has "penciled in" initial numbers for MCC events and localized comms into the main Intersect proposal to the board. | Final numbers depend on the committee refining their specific initiative documents. | | Dora Hacks Proposal | Maureen questioned the inclusion of a specific hackathon proposal in the budget without full committee agreement. | Lorenzo suggested members use comments to "tear apart" or refine the budget draft. | | Translation Success | Boaz and Laurentine reported that over 2,000 terms (paragraphs, buttons, etc.) have been translated into French and are now live in the Members Area. | Abhik confirmed the "FR" (French) and "SI" (Sinhala) toggles are now visible on the site. | | Member Rewards | Maureen reminded members to claim their monthly rewards via the dashboard, which requires a short paragraph summarizing their monthly contributions. | Governance mechanism to ensure accountability for stipends. | | Enterprise Outreach | Chaya reported meeting with promising enterprises and guiding developers toward Cardano/Midnight spaces at upcoming conferences like Consensus. | Ongoing focus on bridging developers to technical resources. | | Indonesian Governance Guide | Fanny is writing an introductory book on governance and Intersect in Indonesian, with plans to translate it later. | Aims to simplify complex Intersect systems for regional users. | | Marketing Pitch Deck | Chaya is developing a marketing strategy and pitch deck for Cardano to be reviewed by MCC and potentially shared with GMC. | Anuj (GMC) invited Chaya to join their next call to coordinate marketing efforts. | | Committee Coordination | Anuj and Maureen discussed the overlap between GMC and MCC meetings. Terence noted that secretaries will address these overlaps post-election. |


| | Candidate Spaces | Sanjaya and Abhik proposed using the "off-week" Mondays for special election spaces where candidates can campaign and introduce themselves. | Action: Abhik to create a ClickUp form for candidates to sign up for speaking slots. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
