RCADA participated in the off-chain snap election facilitated by Intersect using the Ekklesia platform. Although we supported a different candidate during the voting period, we recognize that the audited, stake-weighted process produced a clear result. Upholding the legitimacy of Cardano’s governance framework means respecting the outcome of a constitutionally compliant election, even when the elected candidate was not the one we personally voted for. The role of a DRep is to safeguard process integrity and ensure continuity of governance, not to pursue preferred electoral outcomes.
The retirement of the Cardano Atlantic Council reduced the Constitutional Committee below the committeeMinSize parameter defined in Cardano’s governance system. This placed the Committee in a state where it could not ratify governance actions requiring its approval, limiting Cardano’s on-chain governance to only a subset of actions. Restoring the Committee to its minimum operational size is therefore a constitutional and functional requirement. This Update Committee action correctly executes the next step of the election process by placing the highest-supported candidate—Cardano Curia—into the vacated seat with the appropriate, staggered term.
We reviewed the metadata, audit files, and Merkle-verifiable results provided. These demonstrate that the off-chain election followed the principles outlined in Article VII of the Cardano Constitution: accessibility, transparency, verifiability, and community stewardship. The presence of independently audited results strengthens the legitimacy of the process and ensures that this governance action faithfully reflects the will of participating DReps.
While this action resolves the immediate issue, RCADA acknowledges the broader risk highlighted by several community members: a Constitutional Committee operating without buffer seats is structurally fragile. A single resignation should not temporarily disable the governance system’s ability to ratify actions. We encourage future consideration—through the appropriate governance channels—of either increasing the Committee size modestly or revisiting the committeeMinSize parameter in a constitutionally compliant manner. Such resilience measures would help ensure that Cardano governance remains robust in the face of unexpected changes.
Given the urgent need to restore full governance functionality, the clear community-validated election outcome, and the constitutional correctness of the process, RCADA votes YES on this governance action.

本提案は、憲法委員会が必要最小議席数を下回ったことにより、ガバナンス機能が停止していた状況を解消するためのものです。選挙結果は監査済みで問題なく、ガバナンス継続のため賛成します。\n\nThis proposal resolves the situation in which the Constitutional Committee fell below its required minimum number of seats, resulting in a halt to governance functions. The election results have been audited and verified, and I vote Yes to ensure governance continuity.

Voting to confirm the Cardano Curia CC member in order to make the Constitutional Committee functional again., allowing normal governance to resume.
- Yes7.6M ₳No rationale
- Yes5.9M ₳Rationale
Following the off-chain participation, voting YES to add new CC member - Cardano Curia - to get governance going again bringing the total members back up to 7 (meets the committeeMinSize parameter.
I would like to see an additional CC member added, or two - as this will help close up governance gaps in the even one leaves and not having to do snap-elections or rush to resolve to keep things flowing.
Happy with the selection here, even if I did not vote for this team directly. I believe there are multiple right choices here so looking forward to future CC member adds.

Optamos por votar "SIM" nesta ação de governança (gov_action1fk4nx9zhkcdcyjaudwjtnkd7gagwyhqtth2zypawkc78gvdxkuzqqtvqdkv), pois ela representa a ratificação de uma votação prévia dos DReps, conduzida pelo Intersect na plataforma Ekklesia. Acreditamos que o novo membro eleito do Comitê Constitucional, o coletivo Cardano Curia, está plenamente capacitado para enfrentar os desafios futuros da Cardano, contribuindo com competência, representatividade e compromisso com os princípios da governança descentralizada.

We believe that the newly elected member of the Constitutional Committee, the Cardano Curia consortium, is well-qualified to face Cardano’s future challenges, contributing with competence, representation, and a strong commitment to the principles of decentralized governance. - Yes4M ₳No rationale

本提案は、スナップ選挙で選出された憲法委員会メンバーをオンチェーンで追加し、委員会の最小構成要件を回復するための技術的・制度的措置です。「技術的」とは、Cardanoが委員数・署名形式・任期をプロトコルで自動検証し、不備があれば憲法ガードレールが作動してガバナンスが停止する仕組みを指します。
今回のスナップ選挙は、欠員によるガバナンス停止を避けるためにIntersectが実施した特別選挙で、DRepsのみが参加し、ステーク重みで集計され監査も行われました。私もDRepとして投票しており、本提案はその結果を正式にプロトコルへ反映する最終手続きです。本提案は新たな支出を伴わず、選挙結果も監査により透明性が担保されています。コミュニティの意思を確実に反映し、Cardanoの安定したガバナンス継続に資すると判断し、賛成します。
This proposal adds the Constitutional Committee member elected in the recent snap election, restoring the committee to its required minimum size. “Technical” refers to Cardano’s protocol, which automatically verifies committee size, signatures, and term parameters, activating constitutional guardrails and halting governance if requirements are unmet.
The snap election was a special vote held by Intersect to quickly fill a vacant seat and avoid governance interruption. It was conducted off-chain through an election portal, limited to DReps and weighted by delegated stake. I participated in this election, and this proposal formalizes its audited results on-chain. As it requires no new treasury spending and preserves transparent community decision-making, I support the proposal. - Yes2.5M ₳No rationale

Given that the outcome of the Ekklesia vote is somewhat split between two candidates and a large portion of DReps/stake didn’t vote, I would rather have seen either a gov action that adds them both (we would also be better off with a CC consisting of more members than the minimum), or multiple simultaneous gov actions where we would have the choice between adding them both or only one of them, essentially holding a “2nd round” on-chain.
That said, I think it’s more important that other proposals aren’t blocked due to a governance shutdown. Hence, I’m voting ✅ YES on this proposal, although with minor aversion (to be clear, I want both candidates to be added to the CC). - Yes1.4M ₳No rationale
