Nice to be back in the rhythm after a month off 🙏, I’m very excited for our March as we’re welcoming our new community manager & DAO “whip”, Raquel. Raquel is completely new to the ecosystem and we’re currently onboarding her 🌞🌞 We’re also developing a few different onboarding tools and projects which we’ll be able to share with you very soon ---

Hey! Changed the tag from Creatives to Creatives DAO, so that the moderators can find this! Looks great to me. 🏄‍♂️ 🏄‍♂️ ---

Hey @Mette and the Arroz Criativo crew. Looks good! Your proposal follows the Creatives DAO Guidelines, so it is approved by the Community Moderators. Please create a poll on the Creatives DAO astrodao [link: [Astro](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/creatives.sputnik-dao.near)] so that the council can vote. When and if the vote of the council is ‘yes’, approach NF for your payout proposal, following this guidelines: [[New Process] Community Payouts](http://gov.near.org/t/new-process-community-payouts/13651) ---

@Mette @StevenR @roadworks also worth noting here that for now, no NEAR value is needed in the proposal. Use the USD values, add the total requested in the creatives dao poll along with the link to this proposal, and NEAR foundation will do the USD - NEAR conversion once the poll has passed. ---
