Discussion/Actions
1. Committee Updates
The Product Committee reported that the Cardano 2030 Vision & Strategy is nearing finalization:
Recent in-person workshop at Cardano Summit successfully covered the full draft for the first time.
Additional workshops held across Argentina with positive results.
Community support appears strong, with a straw poll indicating ~⅔ of participants would support the proposal in its current form if submitted on-chain.
Final polishing expected within two weeks, with potential publication in December — though the committee proposes waiting until mid-December for the on-chain vote to avoid holiday-period voter drop-off.
Additional workshops planned in London and Uganda.
2. Constitutional Committee (CC) Election Update
A snap election for the Constitutional Committee is now underway due to unexpected resignation announcements:
Triggered by the current council stepping down on 25 November.
A one-week nomination window, followed by one-week campaigning and one-week voting.
Several candidate groups are already preparing to participate, expected to ensure a competitive election.
Blog post, FAQs, and Knowledge Base materials have been published; ISC is encouraged to share information.
3. Committee Elections Follow-up
Results of the October committee elections have been published:
~300 members voted — considered strong participation.
Overlap period planned to support onboarding of new members, ensuring continuity and knowledge transfer.
4. Committee Reward Policy – Implementation Preview
The ISC reviewed a demo of the new reward-claim process integrated into the Intersect member dashboard:
Members will view eligible committee months and claim via portal
Single consolidated claim planned for rewards accrued to date (prior to year-end)
Future monthly claiming tied to wallet verification and short contribution summary (for partial claims)
Pilot testing with ISC members expected soon
5. Annual Member Meeting (AMM) Planning
Annual Intersect Member Meeting happening on Saturday, 29 November — 24-hour global virtual event hosted in partnership with PlayNation.
Regional in-person gatherings leading up to the event (London, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Japan, North America).
AMM Survey remains open until Friday — 71 responses submitted so far.
Data will inform the updated strategy & priorities presented at the AMM
