BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation)
The team reviewed the BPMN diagram created by Simo to map Intersect's decision-making process. The goal is to create a single, comprehensive process flow. Discussions highlighted the need to define separate lanes for working groups and committees, and to account for decisions that require input from multiple groups. The importance of adding a timeline to the process documentation was also raised, with a suggestion to define priority and effort levels to manage expectations.
Simo Simovic & Lorenzo Bruno: Work on a new version of the BPMN to incorporate all suggestions, including distinct swim lanes for working groups and committees.
Committee Stipend Policy
The group revisited an ISC decision from November 2024 regarding stipends for committee members (500 ADA/month for members, 1,000 ADA/month for chairs). Discussion centered on the nature of these payments—whether they are "tokens of appreciation" or compensation for work. Concerns were raised about potential reputational risk if non-participating members receive stipends. Suggestions were made to connect payments to a form of accountability, such as attendance or a clear demonstration of value.
Updates on Past Board Election Questions
Gintama asked for an update on the status of the recommendations for board elections questions. Lorenzo confirmed that the recommendations had been approved with minor additions and that the new application questions are with the board for final sign-off.
