Terence noted that Google updates changed meeting URLs without notice. | Terence will audit and update all meeting links to ensure consistency. | | Quorum & Town Hall | Georg needed to balance attendance between the OSC meeting and the Intersect Town Hall.

He invited additional feedback from committee members. | Feedback is encouraged but not pressured; completion is targeted for "early tomorrow." | | DevX Working Groups | Udai raised concerns about low attendance/confusion regarding the "Cardano Developer Experience Innovation" group vs. the standard DevX sessions. | Uche clarified the difference between internal and cross-org groups.
