* Once checked, the PoL requirement is considered satisfied, even if no video link is provided.
* **Consortium Exemption Rule:** If 50% or more of a consortium’s members were candidates (solo or as part of a team) in the [2025 CC election](/intersect-knowledge-base/cardano-facilitation-services/cardano-governance/2025-constitutional-committee-elections.md), the consortium qualifies for an automatic PoL exemption.
