Agenda
Extending Committee term
Decisions/Actions
Discussion Point
Notes
Actions: Responsible / Note
Two-Year Term Extension
Jose (ISC) expressed caution, noting that longer terms might lead to power consolidation and fewer seats for new members. The group debated the need for "thought diversity" vs. "continuity."
Working Group to finalize a formal proposal for the ISC that addresses risk mitigations (e.g., staggered terms and dismissal policies).
Member Participation
Discussion on "voter fatigue" (currently ~10%) and the value of membership. Lorenzo highlighted that Working Groups (not just Committees) should be the primary vehicle for mass participation.
Lorenzo Bruno to release new membership tooling in the next 3 weeks to make joining and creating working groups more accessible.
Term Limits
Gintama and Jose suggested term limits (e.g., max 3 terms) to ensure "circulation" of leadership, while Simo cautioned against losing high-performing experts.
Gintama to bring a formal proposal on eligibility barriers/term limits for the two-year election cycle next week.
Committee Member Roles
The group brainstormed core duties: attending ~75% of meetings, contributing to action plans, and acting as a bridge to the community (hosting X spaces/Town Halls).
Lorenzo/Simo to consolidate the Miro board brainstorm into a formal "Committee Member Responsibilities" document.
