[Approved] Marketing DAO Council Remuneration - January/February 23

Hi NEAR community

Its time for a brief update from me on behalf of the Marketing DAO council.

Since the relaunch last year we have been busy getting everything operating smoothly. We are now back on top of the backlog of proposals and hope that our Guidelines are helping the community prepare their proposals effectively.

During the last two months, in addition to reviewing proposals, we have also been carrying out the following activities:

We have been in regular contact with the Foundation to ensure that we help you achieve best value and the projects we fund are fully aligned with Ecosystem goals.

We have held discussions with Flipside Crypto to create a DAO Dashboard. This will become a template for presenting DAO stats in an easy to understand way, giving greater transparency into our activities.

We have been discussing our transition to a new entity with NF legal Council. Although this is still at an early stage, we are keen to drive forward the decentralization of NEAR.

We have also been working on the Bounties for Near Day at EthDenver. Look out for more details on how you can participate very soon!

In closing, i would also like to use this post to request my monthly council member remuneration for January and February - $2000/month
Total Amount - $4000
Target Wallet - cryptocredit.near

Thanks for sharing this update @cryptocredit. I am excited to see how the many projects currently underway from the MarketingDAO continue to grow and evolve during the remainder of Q1 and into Q2.

Along with what is shared above, the MarketingDAO has also:

  • Met with the NEAR Foundation team regularly to continue to optimize funding avenues for community members, including discussions around event and regional community funding. We hope to be able to share more on both of these fronts soon.
  • Hosted a Twitter AMA to field questions about the upcoming ETHDenver community bounties
  • Begun the process to create a legal entity for the MarketingDAO
  • Met with NDC leadership to discuss potential ways to align on supporting regional communities in the future
  • Held 1:1 meetings and conversations with founders and builders in the community to address specific concerns around proposals and funding needs in order to find a way forward.

We look forward to another productive month ahead!
