Decisions/Actions

Decisions

• Backlog Priority: Olivier’s in-person events idea is officially moved to the Participation workstream backlog.

• Tooling: ClickUp is confirmed as the primary project management tool, with Miro as a secondary reference for visual brainstorming.

• Office Hours: X Spaces will be a recurring Monday event to filter community sentiment into the weekly calls.

Actions

• Fanny: Coordinate with previous Hub leads and invite them to the next meeting for a framework alignment session.

• Workstream Leads: Rescope January–March tasks in ClickUp, separating "immediate execution" from "needs approval."

• Abhik/Sanjaya: Schedule and promote the first official Monday X Space.

• All Committee Members: Review the Miro board (shared via Discord) to ensure all personal task assignments are current in ClickUp.

Topic	Discussion	Notes
In-Person Events Proposal	Olivier proposed organizing local, in-person community meetings and workshops (50–100 people) to drive Cardano ecosystem contributions.	Decision: Move Olivier’s proposal to the Participation Backlog for future scoping.
Guest Introduction	Meek, a developer from Nairobi, Kenya, introduced himself. He is participating in the DevEx working group and joined out of curiosity.	Maureen welcomed the Kenyan community representative to the call.
2026 Hubs Strategy	Maureen noted that the 2026 budget process begins soon. She highlighted the need to reactivate Hubs with better transparency and a proper accountability framework to regain community interest.	Goal: Get Hubs included in the official 2026 Intersect budget.
Hubs Working Group Alignment	Maureen suggested leveraging work done by previous groups rather than reinventing the wheel. Fanny and Akil were noted as participants in prior efforts.	Action: Fanny to contact the previous Hubs lead on Discord to invite them to the next meeting.
Miro to ClickUp Migration	Wilco clarified that all tasks and assignees from the Miro board have been successfully moved to ClickUp. Abhik requested a progress report on these tasks.	Miro is now secondary; ClickUp is the primary tracking tool.
Open Office Hours (X Spaces)	Sanjaya confirmed that weekly MCC Office Hours will start next Monday on X. The sessions allow community members to raise concerns to be addressed in Tuesday's committee meetings.	Action: Sanjaya and Abhik to coordinate the schedule. Members are encouraged to retweet the link for amplification.
Midnight & Outreach Update	Chaya reported engaging with other ecosystems (like XRP and Midnight). At least one person from the XRP community has officially joined Intersect through these efforts.	Chaya shared a social media calendar workflow with Maureen and Abhik.
Dev Report Integration	Abhik is working with the Head of Comms (Tim) to include MCC X Spaces and updates in the weekly Intersect Dev Report for higher visibility.	Action: Abhik to finalize this integration for the next report.
Operational Scope & Approvals	Maureen advised workstream leads to focus on tasks that the MCC can execute independently to avoid the "months-long" delay of board approvals.	Policy: Refine backlog to prioritize immediate, autonomous actions.
Member Time Commitments	Maureen reminded elected members of their 20-hour-per-month commitment to Intersect work. She emphasized that work must happen between meetings, not just during them.	Requirement: Increase async work and updates in the MCC Discord channel.
