MCC Public Reports

Systematic Biases Across All 11 Meetings

Four consistent patterns emerge from the full comparison:

• Decision fabrication: Summaries consistently misrepresented informal discussions, proposals, or clarifications as formal "Decisions." In Nov 25, Maureen's proposed framework was listed as adopted despite no vote. In Jan 6, three items were listed as "Decisions" that were actually proposals. In Mar 17, the event rebranding, translation, and collaboration items were all listed as decisions when no votes occurred.
• Conflict sanitisation: Major conflicts and dysfunctions are systematically erased. Maureen's Dec 16 outburst calling the ClickUp setup "b***shit" becomes "Maureen expressed frustration." Wilco's Jan 20 assessment — "no one is doing s***" — is completely absent. The Mar 3 "meeting rug" confrontation is reduced to two sentences.
• Accountability evasion: Hub funding transparency concerns, including Shaggy's Nov 25 criticism that hubs had "no KPIs, no amounts allocated," were completely hidden. Mar 17's hub data showing Sri Lanka claiming "165,000 attendees" for 21 events — an obvious impossibility — was erased from the official record.
• Access control suppression: Repeated documentation of members' inability to perform basic functions is omitted. Maureen's "we don't have access to newsletters, we don't have access to the discord, hell we can't even set up a voice channel" (Nov 25) is absent. ClickUp access failures spanning five months are reduced to "ClickUp training will be arranged."

Nov 18, 2025

Fabricated / Misrepresented

The summary claims Nathan Kanapi attended ("No" attendance) but he never speaks in the transcript and is never referenced as present. The letter to the board via Nick is listed as a "Decision" — it was actually Sanjaya requesting a future vote, not a completed decision. The Vice Chair election is presented as decided when Darlington was asking "do we feel like one week is enough?" — seeking feedback, not announcing a decision.

Omitted

Matthew Capps' revelation that he doesn't have permissions to assign or create tasks in ClickUp — blocking handover tasks as his term ended. Sanjaya's critical procedural question about Fund 15 KYC/KYB requirements. Maureen's pointed criticism: "as a community member, I don't really care about the updates on what Intersect did... I want to know what is the use for me personally." The fact that new members didn't receive invites until an hour before the meeting.

Nov 25, 2025

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"The meeting adopted Maureen's proposed framework, including mandatory use of a Project Board, structured weekly standups, and an Idea Intake Pipeline" — listed as a Decision. Maureen presented this as a proposal; no vote was held. The charter status was overstated, omitting Darlington's qualifier "technically." Fabricated action items include "The team will focus on developing a new framework for Hub accountability" — discussed as an idea, never assigned.

Omitted

Maureen's sharp governance criticisms: "people would show today and not tomorrow and then you would have to present it all over again" and "when we come for standups, you don't just talk about how your day was. Nobody cares." Her frustration about lack of access: "we don't have access to newsletters, we don't have access to the Discord, hell we can't even set up a voice channel." The heated hub transparency exchange where Shaggy criticised hubs for having "no KPIs, no amounts allocated, not even a charter."

Dec 2, 2025

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"Sanjaya is officially confirmed as Co-Chair" listed as a decision made in this meeting. Abhik explicitly stated this referenced a previous meeting's vote: "I know last meeting we did have a vote on the co-chair... there was no announcement as such." The Nathan replacement discussion was "more contentious" than depicted — Terence actively discouraged it, saying "we could spend a lot of time debating this or we could just move on."

Omitted

Maureen's confrontation about X account access: "We don't want to be reading everything through somebody. We want direct access to the community" and "honestly, I'm not happy." Lorenzo's explicit confidentiality warning about survey data being "internal" and that "if this data is taken out of context, people might misunderstand it." The AMM had major technical failures — the microphone didn't work for 7 of 23 hours.

Dec 9, 2025

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"December Focus" listed as a Decision when it was Maureen describing existing plans from a prior workshop. "Open Participation" listed as a Decision when it was Maureen's informational statement. Actions fabricated with false deadlines — Maureen's task board commitment was given a "before the next meeting" deadline not present in the transcript.

Omitted

Multiple members joined the wrong meeting due to an incorrect Discord event link. A failed 4-4 tie vote on scheduling, revealing inability to make basic decisions. Terence's strategic challenge about posting strategy: "What is the strategy behind that?" Maureen's pointed comment about empty communications: "I think we don't have a lot to report on and empty posts kind of get on my nerves."

Dec 16, 2025

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"The committee reached a consensus to continue receiving support from Terence as a facilitator." Maureen's actual response: "I want your support to just hand over everything you have to Abhik so that he can do it properly." No consensus vote occurred. "Maureen expressed frustration over Discord's chaotic nature" — the transcript shows she called the ClickUp setup "b***shit" and said "you cannot tell me we don't have any foundation for asking for access. I think that's some b**."

Omitted

The entire Jose Iadicicco "digital citizenship" proposal — his argument that Catalyst participants should be required to be Intersect members. Maureen's direct demand for 48-hour meeting notes: "Right now he cannot write meeting notes because you have all the access to do that... So I want meeting notes in 48 hours." Terence's maturity assessment: "the committees broadscale are not at that level of maturity."

Jan 6, 2026

Fabricated / Misrepresented

The summary lists 11 committee members with 7 attended and 4 absent. Only 6 members actually spoke. Boaz and Ian are listed as "Yes" for attendance but neither spoke once during the entire meeting. Three "Decisions" — Olivier's backlog placement, ClickUp as primary tool, X Spaces recurring — were all Maureen's opinions or status updates, not formal decisions. A "framework alignment session" is fabricated as an action item when Maureen simply asked Fanny to contact previous hub leads.

Omitted

Maureen struggled for approximately 10 minutes with ClickUp navigation and screen sharing issues, unable to access chat or display the agenda. Her direct confrontation about work obligations: "as an elected committee member you are required to have 20 hours per month dedicated to Intersect work... looks like we only talk during our usual meetings but at the back nobody is really working on anything." Sanjaya's admission that a December X Space had "no turnout."

Jan 20, 2026

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"The committee officially adopted a bi-weekly schedule" — one of the most contested exchanges in the series. Maureen challenged: "I don't remember there being a consensus" and "it's not up to you to decide how efficient we can work as a committee." "It was decided that future proposals will focus on Intersect Hubs" — this was clarification of an existing understanding, not a new decision. The Grid pilot "consensus" was an informal thumbs-up, not a formal vote.

Omitted

The WhatsApp silo revelation: Maureen discovering hub discussions happening without her knowledge. "I would like to be on the loop of what you guys are doing in case you do something stupid." Laurentine's objection: "It should be open to other members." Wilco's blunt assessment: "if no one is able to answer that simple question we don't have results in two weeks so we're talking about meeting but no one is doing s***." Wilco's finding that original content from Chaya wasn't being posted to the X account.

Feb 3, 2026

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"Internal Meetings" listed as a formal Decision when it emerged from Wilco's confrontation about silos. "Translation Strategy" listed as a committee decision when it was Lorenzo's suggestion. Fabricated action items: "Abhik/Lorenzo: Finalize a call with Steve (DoraHacks)" was never assigned. "Maureen: Complete the Start Here page" — she had already completed it and was asking for feedback.

Omitted

The ClickUp access crisis: Wilco said "it is a problem... you guys don't have access. You can't work in it. We pointed it out. There is no one doing anything about it." The explosive revelation about suppressed independent work: Maureen asked "So is it no longer illegal to organize calls by ourselves?" and Wilco confirmed "No, we were shut down." Wilco's three months of unanswered Discord questions.

---

Feb 17, 2026

Fabricated / Misrepresented

The vote on non-member attendance at the Thursday budget session was "cut short after procedural disputes" — Maureen states "We have three nothing" but Sanjaya interrupted to demand a Discord poll. The vote was never completed as described. The Hub KPI document deadline was misquoted — Sanjaya committed to "after the Thursday session" not "by the end of the week."

Omitted

Wilco's competing proposal: "I built an own MCC hubs proposal which is already getting feedback by community members and old hub leads... I'm pretty pissed." Exclusion allegations from both Wilco ("I tried to participate as well but was excluded from all things going on") and Laurentine ("I've not got any feedback since I don't know if there's a WhatsApp group"). Lorenzo's warning that the remit is "a dependency" blocking budget progress.

Mar 3, 2026

Fabricated / Misrepresented

The Grid approval is overstated — Cullah specifically clarified this was a vote to "move forward to the board of directors to review," not a formal approval. Document consolidation was Lorenzo's suggestion, not a committee decision. The "meeting rug" confrontation is severely understated — Wilco directly confronted Abhik: "the vote was a yes which you can see in the transcript and the recording and then suddenly the meeting got rocked." Wilco called Abhik's suggestion "stupid."

Omitted

The hub data crisis: Maureen stated "the data on that is not existent. Nobody knows how much was received and how much was spent." Cullah's context: "once the contract expired we all the managers lost access to that stuff" and his frustration with "accusations of sometimes crimes." Lorenzo's crucial clarification that the MCC budget proposal doesn't go directly to the Cardano treasury. Maureen's frustration: "I'm not getting a lot of input from the committee members which sucks."

Mar 17, 2026

Fabricated / Misrepresented

"Event Rebranding," "Translation complete," and "Individual syncs" all listed as Decisions with no votes occurring. The event model was Maureen's proposal with only Chaya responding positively. Boaz's translation statement indicated ongoing work ("they are adding in couple of days like 5 or 10 terms and we are continuing"), not official completion. Individual syncs were Terence describing his personal practice, not a committee decision.

Omitted

The hub data crisis: Sri Lanka claiming "165,000 attendees" for 21 events (7,000+ per event), Europe claiming "100,000 attendees" for 9 events. Maureen warned: "it will get really torn apart if you put it out there like this." The heated exchange between Maureen and Terence about committee operations. Maureen's frustration: "I feel like no one is responding and I ask what does everyone think and I expect the committee members to say something and no one says anything." Laurentine's request for advance materials: "when it comes to contributions we don't know what to say."
