* **Review KPI feedback from the Technical Steering Committee**

    * No discussion for this topic was held.
* **Any Other Business**

    * The Committee discussed the limited volume of feedback received on budget proposals and broader challenges relating to proposal review, prioritisation and use of AI-assisted analysis by DReps.
  * **Committee onboarding process**
    * The Committee discussed the value of recent onboarding sessions and suggested creating additional opportunities for cross-committee collaboration and relationship building.
  * **Open Source event reflections**
    * The Committee discussed recent outreach activities at Open Source events and highlighted opportunities to engage developers who were interested in blockchain technology but not yet active within the Cardano ecosystem.
  * **KPI considerations and transaction fees**
    * The Committee briefly discussed concerns raised regarding KPI design, transaction fee assumptions and the relationship between ecosystem growth metrics and ADA value. Further discussion was deferred to a future KPI review session.
