Purpose and Scope

The Parameter Committee is to provide technical advice and recommendations regarding the upgradable parameters of the protocol, taking into account economic, security, network and other technical considerations, as appropriate to protect the long-term sustainability of the Cardano blockchain.

Duties include:

• Recommendations to submitted proposals.

• Provide technical expertise in a specified topic.

• Make recommendations in the best interest of Cardano.

• Monitor progress and performance.

• Support the Cardano community.

• Attend and participate in regular meetings.

• Ensure proper documentation.

The Parameter Committee is a mature and highly effective group that plays a crucial role in the Cardano ecosystem. It is a subcommittee of the Technical Steering Committee. At this time, subcommittees and working groups are not subject to formal elections. However, they are to be held accountable by their elected steering committees and ultimately the Intersect membership. Wherever practically possible, they should provide opportunities for all to participate, and to align with what we hope are seen as fair and transparent democratic processes used by Intersect steering committees. As Intersect grows or should the capacity and purpose of subcommittees and working groups change, at the request of the membership, this decision may be reviewed in the future. The members of the Parameter Committee are vetted individuals who meet specific criteria and possess the necessary technical expertise for effective decision-making. This structure ensures that the committee operates efficiently and makes informed decisions for the Cardano ecosystem.
