With only three voting members present, the committee was not quorate. Decisions require out-of-meeting ratification. | Discussion began regarding incorrect meeting links in Discord and fixing them for consistency. | | CIP-179 & Prioritization | Ryan discussed combining efforts on standardizing feedback and conditional voting metadata with Matt and Pi. | The goal is to determine community priorities for work items without duplicating efforts across multiple SIPs. | | Committee Elections | Voting closes this Friday. There are 10 candidates for 5 open positions. | Alex declined to campaign, but Kevin highlighted the valuable work both Alex and Neil have delivered during their tenure. | | Election Events | Upcoming events include a Virtual Hub (April 30 at 15:00 UK) and an X Space (April 28 - previously occurred). | Candidates are encouraged to attend to answer voter questions directly. | | Overall Intersect Budget | The main Intersect budget proposal was submitted last Friday. It is for a lower total amount than last year. | Work Package 2 focuses on technical coordination, which directly involves the TSC. | | TSC Budget Alignment | Three TSC items were absorbed into the main Intersect budget: Technical meetings/workshops, meeting organization, and Security Council support. | This prevents budget duplication and ensures Intersect staff handles the logistical burden. | | TSC Proposal Submission | Bosko and Terence will coordinate the final submission of the TSC-specific budget to Ekklesia. | The deadline for submission is May 8th, with an edit window open until May 22nd. | | KPIs & DeFi Targets | Alexander voiced strong concerns about focusing TSC KPIs on DeFi targets like TVL (Total Value Locked). | Alexander argued TVL is out of scope and should be removed from technical performance goals. | | Van Rossem Hard Fork | Node 10.7.1 is a Mainnet release. Performance issues from 10.7.0 (50% CPU spikes) and rare consensus conditions have been addressed. | Node v11 is expected early next week for testnet forking. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
