Sorry for the late Budget proposal. We are currently working on ways to get better organized and having the budget be a designated responsibility so it doesn’t happen again.

Our Budget for January: Articles: $250 Twitter Spaces: $720 HypeBattle: $850 Dev Budget: $700 Total: $2520

Hello @mxjxn ,

We have a limit for proposals so I think the best thing is to adapt this proposal according to those values. I understand that the idea was to combine two proposals, but I think the most interesting thing is to think of a proposal for February, within the limit, that can cover the intended activities.

[tabear]

Thank you for this overview

Agreeing with @hevertonharieno, our monthly cap per DAO is still 5000 USD; we mentioned in your previous post to include both budgets as an exception, as the January one came in very delayed. Nevertheless we’d ask you to adjust the values so that the max. amount does not exceed the 5k.

Please also add links to the separate proposals

[EV3RETH]

Do we need separate proposals for every single line item? We figured some of the shorter ones would be sufficiently explained here. If not thats ok, just asking to clarify.

[mxjxn]

Thanks for clarifying, was a misunderstanding on our part. Adjustments have been made and the total budget requested (jan+feb combined) are under $5000 now. Each proposed budget-item has its own proposal linked!

[hevertonharieno]

Nice! Everything ok now!

This 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] 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

[mxjxn]

Okay I submitted the poll after fulfilling the KYC process for Guild leaders. Please let me know if theres anything else!

[mxjxn]

hi there Council Members , I’m still awaiting the Reward Agreement email per the guidelines. Would like to wrap this up, please advise! @hevertonharieno @tabear

[Monish016]

Hey the process should take typically take up to 2 weeks ! If you still doubt it you can contact community@near.foundation

[mxjxn]

Okay thanks for the info.

[frnvpr]

hey @mxjxn , sadly the poll expired, can I ask you to create a new one? Engagement from the community drops a bit, at the end of the month, but we’ll try to vote asap on the new poll.

thank you for your patience.

[mxjxn]

Hi, sorry that I didn’t see your message until now. I had not received a response regarding identity verification in my email so I just wrote to the email listed above. Shall I submit a poll anyway? Please let me know

[frnvpr]

Did you manage to solve the issue? If yes, than no poll is necessary.
