## Discussion/Actions

### 1. Committee Updates

The Product Committee reported that the Cardano 2030 Vision & Strategy is nearing finalization:

* Recent in-person workshop at Cardano Summit successfully covered the full draft for the first time.
* Additional workshops held across Argentina with positive results.
* Community support appears strong, with a straw poll indicating \~⅔ of participants would support the proposal in its current form if submitted on-chain.
* Final polishing expected within two weeks, with potential publication in December — though the committee proposes waiting until mid-December for the on-chain vote to avoid holiday-period voter drop-off.
* Additional workshops planned in London and Uganda.

### 2. Constitutional Committee (CC) Election Update

A snap election for the Constitutional Committee is now underway due to unexpected resignation announcements:

* Triggered by the current council stepping down on 25 November.
* A one-week nomination window, followed by one-week campaigning and one-week voting.
* Several candidate groups are already preparing to participate, expected to ensure a competitive election.
* Blog post, FAQs, and Knowledge Base materials have been published; ISC is encouraged to share information.

### 3. Committee Elections Follow-up

Results of the October committee elections have been published:

* \~300 members voted — considered strong participation.
* Overlap period planned to support onboarding of new members, ensuring continuity and knowledge transfer.

### 4. Committee Reward Policy – Implementation Preview

The ISC reviewed a demo of the new reward-claim process integrated into the Intersect member dashboard:

* Members will view eligible committee months and claim via portal
* Single consolidated claim planned for rewards accrued to date (prior to year-end)
* Future monthly claiming tied to wallet verification and short contribution summary (for partial claims)
* Pilot testing with ISC members expected soon

### 5. Annual Member Meeting (AMM) Planning

* Annual Intersect Member Meeting happening on Saturday, 29 November — 24-hour global virtual event hosted in partnership with PlayNation.
* Regional in-person gatherings leading up to the event (London, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Japan, North America).
* AMM Survey remains open until Friday — 71 responses submitted so far.
* Data will inform the updated strategy & priorities presented at the AMM
