### Hello Cardano Ambassador Community! 🏅

August 2026 calls brought the CF Events & Marketing team to preview the 2027 global event strategy, and turned urgent on the Constitutional Committee 2026 vote (deadline: September 1). Both sessions merged below.

### 🗓 Agenda

- **2027 Global Event Strategy:** Laura Mattiucci & Elis Moormaa previewed an 11-event plan with a treasury request, seeking Ambassador feedback before the proposal goes live.
- **Constitutional Committee Vote (urgent):** Nicolas Cerny walked through the governance action; Vote ends on September 1.
- **Governance Tooling:** CIP-0175 (hot credentials for SPOs) and wallet health signals to lift participation.
- **Ambassador Bounties & On-Site Support:** pilot learnings from Rare Evo and Blockchain Rio.

## 🏆 Key Takeaways

### 1. 2027 Unified Global Event Strategy

Laura Mattiucci (CF Events & Marketing) opened both sessions with early plans for Cardano’s unified 2027 event strategy. The concept replaces the separate IOG, CF, and Emurgo booths with a single Cardano-branded booth alongside other layer-one chains, sharing infrastructure to raise visibility. A 108 m² prototype built for Token 2049 (Singapore, October) includes a builder stage and meeting tables.

**Past impact:** 27 sponsored events, 56 workshops, 79 unique builders, ~100 media pieces (WSJ, Fortune) across 2025-2026, plus 100k+ developers engaged, a 222% rise in Academy signups, and 50 government / 143 enterprise touchpoints.

### 2. Constitutional Committee Vote: Act Before September 1

> ⏰ **Urgent.** The governance action to renew the Constitutional Committee shows **DReps at 52%** and **SPOs at 22%** approval. Failing it threatens to disable essential governance functions. Nicolas Cerny explained the process in the morning call.

What we’re asking:

- **Mobilize:** share on social media, remind SPOs and DReps to vote before September 1.
- **Check participation:** verify your SPO or delegated DRep has voted; nudge if not.
- **Awareness over pressure:** several Ambassadors noted “not voting is also voting,” and low turnout (not rejection) is the real risk. Ambassadors are the trusted voices to motivate the community.
- **Reference:** [dreptalk.com CC update](https://dreptalk.com/t/update-constitutional-committee-2026-5e7883f7/) and the [SPO governance guide](https://developers.cardano.org/docs/operators/governance/spo-governance/).

### 3. Governance Tooling: CIP-0175 and Wallet Health

To cut voting friction, **CIP-0175** (Calidus on-chain hot credentials for SPOs) lets operators vote without pulling the cold key. Tommy Kammerer pointed to the [Adder guide](https://docs.blinklabs.io/guides/adder/). Robert Phair shared a civics letter and the [CIP-0175 README](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0175).

On participation tooling, Chris STR8 and Nicolas Cerny discussed a wallet **“health light”** : green (SPO/DRep recently active), yellow (inactive a while), red (retired DRep), plus a status explainer so delegators see at a glance if their DRep is idle or pool oversaturated. Wallets should inform, not spam vote notifications.
