Previous report

[DAO month report]([REPORT] Metaverse DAO Monthly report for june 2022)

Relevance and justification

The relevance of this set of projects is to build near metaverse history and to record it on near blockchain, in order for it to be useful for to creatives wanting some proof of their work or to researchers about near and its presence on metaverse. Our DAO also has connections to Voxels metaverse and build parties there in order to stimulate the interest on near and the production of near NFTs. Last event we sponsored together with Voxels, Vox Walk, and Metacat received more than 500 people, as it is exhibited in our report. So our work is of fundamental importance to the history of the Creatives and to show the importance and relevance of NEAR to future creatives still in other blockchains.

@creativesdao-mods, we kindly ask you to give us an answer about our project, given tomorrow it will be 1 week we are waiting. We thank you for your work. Greetings from Metaverse DAO.

Hello Metaverse DAO!

First off I want to give some appreciation for the organization of your proposals. It’s been very easy to find all your past reports attached to every action so great job there!

Here are some of my thoughts on your proposals:

  • The interviews with Klara Kopi are pretty cool. I think it’s a great way to spotlight projects in the space and @klarakopi you are doing a great job!

  • I see your reasoning for the Metaverse Recordings to document NEAR presence in the metaverse but I don’t see this being a long term need at least in the forum it is in now. It doesn’t seem like many of these recordings get many views and I am not sure how many folks are actually going to watch these videos afterwards. Maybe this activity in particular could evolve in the future.

  • I see a lot of value in the projects you are all bringing. It’s wonderful to see many different folks within the ecosystem being highlighted. I would love to see some more of these funds be distributed to the artists and builders that are the centerpieces of to the content you are all creating.

  • Lastly, @thephilosopher I see that you are back in action as a council member of both Metaverse DAO and Philosophers DAO. I thank you for stepping down from your roles for the last 2 months in respect of our solutions to the issues brought up back in March. As a way to comfort the community about your entrance back into two powerful positions and to continue to respect those past decisions, we would like to ask for a public statement around your reflections and how you plan to re-enter the community with different actions so this harm does not get repeated. I know I have personally heard you voice your thoughts a few times in community meetings but would love to get your statement in writing for transparency to the community. It can be in response here or however feels most comfortable for you, as long as it is recorded on the forum.

Thank you so much all!

Thank you so much, @adrianseneca, for your answer. Concerning Metaverse Recordings, it could be interesting to evolve it or to marketing it more. I think nevertheless it is one of the main important projects from the DAO, because it is the way to keep the historical information. And history is like that: we access when we need to research, when we need to build a portfolio, and in cases like that. Beyond that, many of the DAOs’ events of DAOs on metaverse do not receive many visitors, and our recordings beyond have historical importance, build participation at these events.

Concerning the funds being distributed to the community, we have lots of bounties and we hire many people. We hire 4 writers from the community per month (one of them is a bounty), we generally pay a DJ, we also pay 4 professors to produce classes, and we make prizes for the community of meta-designers (last one with voxels). And, of course, we pay ourselves for our work. But I agree with you that the best path is to decentralize the works of the DAO for people outside the council. But notice that works like recordings, interviews, magazines are works of big responsibility, and to let it in the hands of unknown people from the community is difficult to make the products to develop.

But to solve this problem, we also are going to open a Community group inside our Astro, without administrative power, to onboard people from the community, and to start building a group of people capable of working with us, and that with more responsibility and trust, can enter in the members group and have administrative power.

Concerning your last point, I wrote my thoughts here, and I am very glad that Isa forgave me and the Brazilian community is welcoming back. I hope this is enough. Thank you for your kindness and your nice way of saying things.

Thanks so much for receiving my input with grace and for your thorough response. With the information, perspectives and statement you provided we feel comfortable approving your proposal!

Here are some of the highlights I see in your proposal:

  • follows the guidelines with great organization
  • nice reporting with sufficient information to access past accomplishments / use of funds
  • large quantity of projects that provide consistent deliverables
  • constant collaboration with other NEAR individuals and communities
  • offerings of education for the community
  • highlighting of other people/projects happening on NEAR
  • Metaverse innovations

Please feel free to move forward in posting your poll on AstroDAO!
