New members Alonzo (SPO/Fintech background), Christian (Open Source/Filecoin), and Marcin (IOG Networking Lead) introduced themselves. | The committee emphasizes a collegiate, niche-based contribution model. | | TSC Procedures | Terence explained the new "moderated contributor" format for Intersect committees to ensure consistency and security across meetings. | Members must be approved to have open mic access. | | Action Items Review | Bosko reviewed previous actions. Onboarding invites were sent. DApp developer communications regarding cost risks are being handled by Leonard. | Kevin to issue a final TSC tweet regarding parameter updates for awareness. | | Post-Quantum Risk | The committee discussed the need for expertise in post-quantum cryptography. Existing CPS documents (27, 28, 29, 30) were referenced as problem definitions. | Neil and Alex noted that the risks for blockchain differ from general telecoms. | | Technical Workshops | Kevin proposed holding technical workshops to engage the community on complex topics like post-quantum readiness and transaction sizes. | Potential to invite experts like Sebastian from Midnight to discuss secure layers. | | Leios Technical Risk | Neil raised concerns about the "Linear Leios" implementation, specifically regarding performance validation and its differences from the original research. | Marcin clarified it is a simplified, linear step toward full Leios. | | Hard Fork Status | The "van Rossem" hard fork is progressing. Preview is enacted; Pre-Prod enactment is targeted for May 21st, pending Ogmios readiness. | Mainnet submission is currently planned for May 29th. | | Plutus Parameters | Neil summarized the history of Plutus parameter changes, noting that some costs are increasing, which requires careful testing to avoid breaking existing transactions. | Integrated node benchmarking is expected by the end of the month. | | Risk Mitigation | The committee discussed the risk of acting under time pressure versus waiting for full performance results from the PMT team. | Elena noted there is a window to retract a governance action if issues are found before enactment. | | CC Minimum Size | Kevin explained the proposal to reduce the Constitutional Committee minimum size from 7 to 5 to avoid "cliff edge" functionality issues if members resign. | This action is chained with the Plutus parameter update. | | Ogmios Readiness | A major risk was identified with Ogmios tooling. IOG (John Latuski) has stepped in to provide a fix as the original maintainer is unavailable. | A working version is expected in short order. | | TSC Budget & ECC | Kevin highlighted the TSC budget proposal in the Ecclesia system and encouraged members to review it and support Intersect’s technical coordination. | Details on X spaces and virtual hubs to be shared via Slack. | --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
