Meeting Introduction** * The meeting was rescheduled from Monday to Tuesday due to the Easter holiday. * Noted that most executive team members were absent. ### **2. MCC Proposal Review Process** * MCC outlined its internal process for reviewing budget proposals: * Proposals under 300K ADA will be recommended for submission to Catalyst. * Duplicate hub proposals will be reviewed and potentially merged. * Proposals will be evaluated against MCC’s stated priorities before endorsement. * Clarification is still needed on the practical effect of MCC endorsements. ### **3. DRep Feedback & Proposal Filtering** * A question was raised about how DRep temperature checks (yes/no votes) should influence proposal progression. * The need for clear parameters around the impact of DRep feedback on moving proposals to reconciliation workshops was discussed. * A suggestion was made to invite workshop organizers to clarify this process in a future session. ### **4. Communication & Responsiveness within ISC** * Concerns were raised about slow or absent communication from Intersect executive team, particularly on Discord and regarding budget process documentation and member voting. * A proposal was made to track open questions and outstanding items more formally. ### **5. OSC Proposal Review Decision** * The Open Source Committee (OSC) reported a unanimous decision not to review proposals submitted directly by vendors. * Proposers are encouraged to use the existing OSC frameworks, such as the contribution ladder or project incubation. * OSC members will triage submissions and suggest alternate pathways where appropriate. ### **6. Constitutional Council & Net Change Limit** * The Constitutional Council (CC) plans to vote against the Intersect-submitted net change limit info action due to an error in epoch calculations. * This is viewed as a quality control issue but is unlikely to have a practical effect, as the DReps and other CC members have already approved the limit. * It was suggested that future limits be treated as parameter updates rather than info actions. ### **7. Gov Tool Feedback & Development** * Ongoing issues were raised with the UI/UX of the Gov Tool, including mobile connectivity problems, which are limiting user engagement. * Updates were shared regarding development efforts and funding constraints. * Suggestions included organizing developer workshops and integrating links to community-built tools within the interface. ### **8. Direct Voter Engagement** * The importance of engaging individual ADA holders (not just large stakeholders) in voting was emphasized. * The group discussed exploring new mechanisms to encourage broader participation in governance. ### **9. Community Hub Coordination** * Potential overlaps between MCC’s hub initiatives and those of the Growth & Marketing Committee (GMC) were flagged. * A request was made for ISC to provide stronger coordination between committees to avoid duplicative efforts. ### 10. Action Items and Next Steps **Action:** ISC Secretary to compile a list of open items and unanswered questions. **Action:** ISC to review and monitor progress on these items in future meetings. **Action:** ISC to facilitate a discussion between MCC and GMC to align on community initiatives. --- # 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.
