The meeting moved to Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. UTC as all participants agreed. UTC based on previous agreement.
Phil added a priority column (urgent, medium, low) and an "implemented" status to the recommendation register document.
No new recommendations were added to the register since the last meeting.
Election Process Review
Discussion to use the April committee election process as a reference point for improving the October board and committee elections.
Emphasis on providing feedback specifically on aspects of the election process that were not working well.
Working Group Members: Review the "Intersect Committee Election 2025 Process Overview" document and provide feedback on areas for improvement.
Sybil Attack Resistance Concerns
Concerns raised again about sybil attack resistance in elections due to the low cost of membership. Counter-argument that the current membership numbers and voting participation don't statistically support significant civil attacks.
Election Transparency
Suggestion to improve election transparency by providing live voting updates or a dashboard showing candidate progress.
Maureen Wepngong: Add a detailed recommendation for live voting updates to the recommendation register.
