Welcome & Attendance Two newly elected ISC members were welcomed: * Jose Miguel de Gamboa * Kristijan Kowalsky Quorum was confirmed. Committee secretaries and observers from the Board and executive team were also present. #### 2. Committee Updates Network / Technical Governance (Incident Review)\ A recent mainnet issue resulted in a chain partition requiring urgent coordinated upgrades by SPOs and tooling providers. A full post-incident review is planned, focusing on responsible disclosure, upgrade processes, and mitigation of version-diversity risks. The engineering and operational response was widely recognized as a positive demonstration of community resilience. Product Committee\ Final refinements are underway on the proposed 2030 Vision, Mission & Strategy, incorporating feedback from recent workshops. The current plan is to submit a combined Info Action around epoch 600 (mid-December), with the option for future standalone strategy updates as needed. Civics Committee\ A snap election is in progress to ensure the Constitutional Committee maintains quorum and governance continuity. Discussion continues on both interim mitigations and longer-term improvements to CC composition and resilience. Membership & Community Committee (MCC)\ The committee is reviewing participation pathways, accountability, and improvements to member benefits. Additionally, the MCC has begun examining the future of community hub engagement, including clarity around previous selections, deliverables, and potential funding models aligned with Intersect priorities. Budget Committee\ The committee confirmed that the 2025–26 Net Change Limit proposal (18-month scope) has been completed and is pending Board review. Due to current governance constraints, treasury actions will remain blocked until CC quorum is restored. Committees with approved budgets were advised to prioritize critical spending given recent ADA price volatility. Open Source Committee\ Governance and communication improvements for the bug bounty program are underway, together with alignment across ecosystem security stakeholders. The committee will also explore whether adjustments are needed to the incident response program based on lessons learned from the recent network event. ### 3. Annual Member Meeting (AMM) A preview of the 24-hour global virtual event was shared, including the community platform and session-hosting structure. Committees were invited to confirm their presentation/workshop slots to ensure strong participation. Member survey responses (\~70+) will inform updated purpose, mission, and 2026 priorities. *** ### 7. Next Steps & Actions * Committees were invited to schedule dedicated sessions within the AMM virtual hub to facilitate member engagement. --- # 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.
