Peace @satojandro thanks for your input. I’d like to clarify that in no way am I inferring that Creatives DAO should stop operations. Like you mentioned we have a major role in the ecosystem and the only way to step into that role in a fuller way is to go through these growing pains together while upholding the values of the blockchain itself - with transparency and decentralization.
Not only do we contribute to the ecosystem through our creative efforts, we are also the largest group of DAOs operating in a decentralized way creating a huge use case for global coordination on NEAR. We may not be perfect but even while we move through our learning curves we still bring in so many valuable projects!
I notice that Marketing DAO has been very quick to shut down any movements towards decentralization due to lack of time and eager to put down Creatives DAO as we transform and grow. I respect the sentiments of accountability and protection yet wonder if your energy against us would be better used to uplift us? I would like to believe that we would all be moving in collaboration rather than competition. If your systems are working well, why don’t we collaborate to empower everyone, resulting in a stronger and more united NEAR community overall. I have personally expressed these feelings to you and will state them again; Marketing and Creatives should build a better relationship with one another in operations and education to make our NEAR environment more successful and supportive.
Ultimately, stabilizing full proof systems of decentralization is going to take work - work that the Creatives DAO community is willing to do. We are already improving immensely in our proposal analysis, collecting and creating standards for metrics, putting together Q1 & Q2 reports, working to establish ourselves more clearly and collectively finding new systems of voting that balance decentralization and responsibility. I think it is always easier for folks on the outside to ridicule those who are pioneers forging new paths. The old systems we have all been using for lifetimes are outdated. I stepped into Web3 with an intention of building new ones and I believe many others, especially in Creatives DAO, are here for the same.
Lastly, this is a serious yet vague - let’s be transparent and have the necessary conversations to clarify this:
