Intersect governance

The governing board

Intersect’s initial governing board comprises five member seats. To establish operations, three board members have been appointed with representatives from seed funders and members, with Input Output Global, Emurgo, and the COO as interim on the third seat. The third seat has been offered as an academic position to Wyoming University’s Blockchain Center of Excellence. The seed funder seats have a three-year term in consideration of funding given, whilst the academic seat will have a one-year tenure.

The remaining two seats have been filled from Intersect’s membership, with elections held in the October 2024 election.

Intersect decision making process

Intersect’s decision-making process provides a structured path for turning members and community ideas and proposals into actionable outcomes through working groups (WGs), Intersect committees, the internal team, and the Board. It ensures clarity, transparency, and appropriate escalation depending on the proposal’s impact level.

This workflow helps us balance:

  • Members-driven input and proposals,

  • Strategic alignment across governance bodies,

  • Timely and effective operational execution.

It is the result of discussions within the Intersect Governance Working Group and Intersect Steering Committee, with the goal of streamlining how decisions are made while preserving escalation, review, and transparency mechanisms.
