@dandelionshoneybees thank you for the updates in your presentation post. Now, to fit your proposal into our guidelines, I just need to ask you to create individual posts for each project. I mean a individual post to explain better the topic **New and Current User support** , **9INES Programs** and **New User Onboarding and DAO Sponsorship Funds**. That way you will show to the community that the 9ines comunity already approved this projects and because this you are ready to ask funds here. =) ---

This section encompasses the follow-up support that people receive after the infosessions and in order to navigate them through the onboarding process.
