Speaker for the Dead

Thank you for your post Hairen,

First I’d like to thank you for your passion and on-going commitment to NEAR ecosystem. Even if sometimes we have to agree to disagree, I’ve been following your work over time and I know that you have the right intentions, specially advocating for the validators community.

I’d like to reassure you that I have had a call with @Cryptonaut this week and we are pretty much aligned on everything. This highlights several things:

  • Most contentions conversations that may spiral out of control on the forum can be resolved easily over a phone call.
  • I have also been very critical of the Creatives DAO over time and have some feedback on current Charter that I’d like to see implemented prior to approval.
  • Sahil, representing current creatives leadership, is in 100% alignment that any project going through Creatives DAO must have a strong connection with NEAR. We will be revising the language of charter to ensure this is expressed clearly on the docos. However, you can already see on the C DAO March Report that most proposals do not meet the new guidelines and have been rejected. (Spreadsheet reads a lot better)
  • It is also important to note that there are factions within Creatives. Some are 100% aligned with us, some are resistant to change, and some may have been problematic in the past.
  • It is important to identify and support the factions within Creatives that are aligned with NEAR Strategic Goals and open to reform. Support them. They are already under constant attack from within.

I acknowledge that having three Grassroots DAOs that are functioning well (no irrational waste of funds or corruption, adding value in their verticals) still doesn’t address many of the issues that you’ve raised. I encourage you to take up those issues separately:

I’ll be publishing more info soon on the Vision for Grassroots DAOs and some simple, actionable frameworks to ensure we are all working towards the same Strategic Goals. Stay tuned.
