Sandbox Partygoers 
As we get ready for the Open Web Sandbox Party happening on Thursday, 2021-07-29T15:00:00Z, let’s have some fun experimenting with a new Sputnik DAO.
Thus far, 145 councils exist, and over 700 accounts have connected to the platform. Now, the main objective is to establish and grow a DAO / council that includes as many unique NEAR humans as possible.
Join the Open Web Sandbox AMA 2021-07-28T13:00:00Z for a unique #Taskathon experience, where new members of the Sandcastle DAO council will be approved in real time.
​​Why Partycipate?
I’d say the initial purpose of this DAO is to have fun! Let’s coordinate Open Web Contributors and create opportunities to celebrate NEAR. For example, if a lot of Sandboxers join a council, we might be able to gauge community opinions about relevant issues, like our next party theme and questions about open web branding. Ultimately, this can become an “Ecosystem DAO” which represents one population of NEAR.
Plus, every council member would receive a special NFT (courtesy of @Samtoshi_F_Baby), along with future party favors 
Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How
You are more than welcome to join the Sandcastle DAO! Simply follow the step-by-step guide below to submit a “New Council” proposal. Each potential member will be voted in by current DAO members. To be added, you have to get more than half of the total number of voters to approve your proposal.
Keep in mind, you can submit proposals to join other DAOs using the same process. Just be sure to communicate with any council members, and explain why they should give you a vote in their specific DAO. How are your intentions aligned with the purpose?
