## Agenda 07.08.2025

* Decision-Making Process Workflow Discussion
* Committee Stipend

## Decisions/Actions

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="148.7421875"></th><th width="237.66015625"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Discussion Point</td><td>Notes</td><td>Actions: Responsible / Note</td></tr><tr><td>BPMN Diagram for Decision-Making</td><td>Simo presented an updated BPMN diagram that incorporates feedback from previous meetings, including separate swimlanes for working groups and committees. The diagram illustrates how proposals can originate from various stakeholders (members, staff, etc.) and flow through different levels of review (working group, committee, ISC, board). The need for a complementary document detailing timelines and SLAs was discussed. Phil suggested also mapping processes for changes initiated by staff or the board, not just members. Gintama proposed integrating this process into a new "member area" on the Intersect website to streamline creating and joining working groups.</td><td><p>Simo Simovic &#x26; Lorenzo Bruno: Continue to refine the BPMN diagram and its accompanying documentation. </p><p>Simo Simovic: Follow up with Lorenzo and Tex about the progress of the new member area.</p></td></tr><tr><td>Stipend Proposal Based on Peer Contribution</td><td>Lucas presented a new proposal for committee member stipends. His idea is to use a peer-review system where committee members evaluate each other's contributions on a scale, with a portion of the stipend (e.g., 40%) being distributed proportionally to a member's score. This approach aims to reward active participation and penalize "no-shows" while a baseline stipend remains. Phil suggested an alternative: using the peer scores as a threshold—if a member's score is below a certain point, they are ineligible for the stipend, simplifying the process.</td><td>Pedro Lucas: Share the spreadsheet and proposal on the ISC Discord channel.<br>ISC Members: Review the document and be prepared to discuss it at the ISC meeting on August 18th.</td></tr></tbody></table>
