+
+## Agenda adjustment 
+Monthly Board meetings will move to the third Wednesday of each month witht the next meeting (being on) 19 November 2025. 
+
+## Open source mentorship review 
+- Aiken and Amaru will continue open conding hours. 
+- Sessions will be scheduled and promoted in advance with one GA representative every two weeks, with responsibilities split across representatives covering Aiken, GA scheduling, and Amaru.
+- A shared PRAGMA Workspace calendar will be created to streamline coordination of mentorship and coding sessions.
+
+## Project Committee (Phase 2) updates
+
+- An initial mock-up and PDR outline were presented.
+- The Project Committee will evaluate prospective projects and, according to the PDR, oversee them afterward.
+- Expected initial committee size is 3–5 members.
+- Given the anticipated workload, compensation may be appropriate. 
+
+### Application Process
+- An application will be developed using job-description-style criteria, though the exact information required from applicants remains under discussion, including whether the General Assembly should define these questions.
+- A requirement for three contributors was considered, but single-contributor teams may still qualify as “active projects” and will not be excluded from joining PRAGMA as incubating projects.
+- A “guide” role may be introduced to support onboarding and act as a point of contact for new projects, and a concise one-page overview of the committee process and expectations will also be created.
+
+### Timeline
+
+- The Project committee’s formation will be announced at the Cardano Summit 2025 and should be established by early December to provide early input on project application requirements.
+- Committee roles will have a one-year term.
+
+### Funding
+
+Funding options for potential compensation will be further explored, including:
+
+ - a one-time fee for new projects, and
+ - a scholarship option for teams unable to cover costs.
+
+Member dues for 2026 require additional definition.
+
+## General Assembly Value Proposition status
+
+**In progress:**
+- Open source mentorships
+- Field-tested documentation and workflows
+
+**Not yet started:**
+- Assessment tools to evaluate the maturity and ease-of-use of open-source projects
+- PRAGMA ecosystem recommendations identifying existing open-source solutions and use cases that support project success
+
+These items will begin once the Project Committee is established.
+
+
+## Maintainer Committee review
+
+- A standardized set of rules for repository administration is required, including a clear permissions model and defined admin rights across PRAGMA projects; existing post-mortem documentation offers context but is not sufficient.
+- An SLA and a standardized request-submission process should be established, with defined response times and a dedicated request channel (e.g., GitHub tickets or another designated pathway).
+
+**Repository Status**
+- Some repositories have limited activity and open issues; support needs should be clarified, with additional capacity expected after upcoming releases.
+- Outreach to the Open Source Committee and increased project visibility may help attract contributors and identify whether similar challenges exist across other projects.
+
+### Repository Status
+
+- Some repositories have had minimal activity and accumulating open issues.
+- Increased activity expected after upcoming releases.
+- Clarification needed on required support and possible contributor outreach.
+
+## Documentation location change on GitHub form 
+Meeting minutes are currently stored within the validity review section, and it was proposed that they be moved to the Board documents area for consistency. A vote was conducted and approved. 
+
+## Review and decision for Open pull requests
+
+Board members were asked to review:
+- Three PRs containing prior meeting minutes
+- The Project Committee Charter PR
+
+## Accounting updates
+

+- Member dues for 2026 require additional discussion.
+
+## Brand management updates 
+
+No updates on trademark-related matters.
