Additional Attendees: * Adam Rusch - Community Board Seat - Observer ## Decisions/Actions: ### **1. Board Updates & Organizational Changes** Updates were shared regarding recent structural shifts within Intersect. The revised budget proposal (15.75m ada) was presented, reflecting a more accurate projection of costs and a phased reduction in consultant dependency starting in July. There was discussion around evolving the board structure to include four elected community seats by October 2025, aiming for a fully elected board by 2026. Additional oversight mechanisms are planned for critical operations, including the CDH and the use of multi-signature authorizations. Greater clarity around decision-making and delivery sustainability was emphasized. ### **2. Committee Elections Update** It was confirmed that candidate registration for the Constitutional Council (CC) elections is now open. ### **3. Smart Contract Development & Engagement** An update was shared on smart contract progress being led by SundaeSwap Labs. A video overview is now available, and upcoming open office hours will provide space for discussions with vendors, committees, and the community to deepen understanding of implementation impacts. ### **4. Intersect Participation in CC Elections** A discussion took place regarding whether Intersect should seek a seat on the Constitutional Council. The prevailing sentiment was that Intersect should focus on its core functions and avoid potential conflicts of interest. A vote was conducted but lacked quorum, and it was agreed to proceed with an asynchronous vote via Discord. Initial feedback from present members supported Intersect not standing for a CC seat. ### **5. Member Engagement & Feedback Loop** A proposal was introduced to host monthly open ISC calls (AMA-style) for members to raise concerns and receive responses. There was agreement on piloting this idea, possibly incorporating a form where members can log issues in advance to support structured discussion. ### **6. Committee Collaboration & Communication** It was suggested that internal "all-hands" calls between committee members could support better collaboration, knowledge sharing, and alignment on resources and efforts. ### **7. Budget Process & Membership Vote** There was follow-up on a request for a membership vote to ratify the revised budget process. It was acknowledged that the change had already been implemented without prior endorsement. It was agreed this action is now closed, with a shared commitment to ensuring future significant process changes include member sanctioning. ### **8. Observer Role in ISC Meetings** A proposal was made to introduce a rotating observer role for committee members in ISC meetings, helping them gain visibility into discussions and coordination at the steering level. This idea will be revisited at the next meeting. ### **9. Action Items & Next Steps** * Finalize and share the consultant transition plan with the ISC. * Share the roles and responsibilities document for committees with ISC members. * Record the asynchronous vote on whether Intersect should stand for a CC seat on Discord. * Present the ISC’s recommendation on CC participation to the full board. * Create a poll on Discord to gauge support for a monthly open ISC call. * Develop and communicate a process for monthly AMA sessions, including a feedback form. * Explore the feasibility of internal all-hands calls for committee collaboration. * Add the observer role proposal to the next meeting agenda. --- # 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.
