[Approved] Add James Waugh to Marketing DAO

Hi everyone! I’m a community manager at NEAR Foundation, and I’d love to get more involved with Marketing DAOs. Just created a proposal to add my account, james.near, to the council of marketing.sputnik-dao.near :slightly_smiling_face:

I studied Journalism and Mass Communication at the UNC-Chapel Hill (with a focus on digital advertising technology), and my professional experience includes marketing, entrepreneurship, research, governance, and token design. Personally, my goal is to support an evolving Marketing DAO that connects, collaborates, and coordinates across dimensions of creative communities.

Overall, we will explore ideas further, and I hope to build new processes for ecosystem participants offering and requesting help with various campaigns.

Great to see active Foundation members step up to join Community DAOs!

As we craft the new processes and structures for community DAOs, I believe we shouldn’t have strict, binary distinctions between Community and Foundation members, as these could lead to the exclusion of good candidates or the counterproductive inclusion of other merely for bureaucratic purposes.

Instead, I like assessing each Councillor as an individual. Acknowledging their interests, background, time commitment and potential conflict of interest.

James was one of my first points of contact in the ecosystem and helped onboard me. I’ve personally witness his relentless work on the community front and borderline obsession with DAO ecosystem growth. I’m happy to support this proposal and welcome James to Marketing DAO

GM,

James has a unique insight into DAOs and is an incredible source of knowledge when it comes to decentralisation and DAO operations.

I think he’d make a great addition whilst we move away from NF members in DAOs, to help facilitate the process.
