<summary><strong>Intersect Board Elections</strong></summary>

In September, the **Intersect Board Elections** will take place — a vital opportunity for members to help select the individuals who will oversee Intersect’s strategic direction and ensure it remains aligned with its mission and community values. During this time members were able to elect **two board members** out of the seven that compose the Intersect Board.

<summary><strong>Intra-era hard fork</strong></summary>

Intersect is hosting and facilitating the Hard Fork Working Group (HFWG) to coordinate and navigate ecosystem feedback and potential readiness before formal Cardano governance actions are raised for broader community consensus and approval. In essence, the working group follows much of the same processes and purpose as it did for the Chang and Plomin hardforks not so long ago.

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Keep informed

Join the dedicated Upgrade Discord channel at [#wg-hard-fork](https://discord.com/channels/1136727663583698984/1242097284619960411) (on the Intersect Discord server). This channel is monitored by the working group, with updates being shared and questions answered. Alternatively, you can reach out to <hard-fork@intersectmbo.org>

The hard fork working group currently meets every other week; see the shared [Luma Calendar](https://luma.com/calendar/cal-TMjYNpSY4huYYif). As progress continues, the meeting cadence will increase.

The [Cardano Upgrades GitBook](https://cardanoupgrades.docs.intersectmbo.org/) contains important hard fork context, working group policies, readiness tracking, and working group meeting minutes.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-knowledge-base/intersect-overview/jump-in-key-member-initiatives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
