Intersect — Growth & Marketing Committee Season Oct 2025 – Feb 2026  ·  14 Meetings

GMC Public Reports

Independent analysis of committee meetings, governance & accountability

← All committees

This section publishes independent analysis of the Intersect Growth & Marketing Committee (GMC) — covering 14 public meetings from October 2025 to February 2026. All findings are grounded in the official meeting transcripts.


The reports examine whether official summaries accurately reflect what was discussed, how members participated, whether leadership fulfilled its responsibilities, whether commitments made in meetings were followed through, and whether governance structures served the community or entrenched interests.

Key Findings at a Glance

"The official summaries cannot be trusted as factual accounts of committee proceedings. They function as reputation management rather than factual documentation."

Summaries vs. Transcripts

Methodology & Source Notes

All five reports are based on a complete reading of the official meeting transcripts and the official meeting summaries (minutes) for all 14 GMC meetings. Every factual claim is traceable to a specific transcript passage. Participation data was derived from transcript evidence — the attendee lists in summaries were cross-referenced against actual speaking records in transcripts, as several summaries contain attendance inaccuracies.

These reports represent independent community analysis and are not affiliated with Intersect or any official body. All source recordings and transcripts are publicly linked via Intersect's official documentation channels.
