Upcoming event[edit]

Monthly drop-in sessions[edit]

Between October 2023 and May 2024, MCDC hosted monthly drop-in sessions that are open to everyone to help us think through various topics and open questions. These sessions aimed to allow better connection and engagement with interested individuals and various communities willing to share input in the drafting of the Charter. The topics of each session and the necessary information to read was shared ahead of time.
