Hello Hello! I want to remind that one of the goals of the Near Community is the decentralization. The same council members from Young Fresh DAO, are the council members on the Near x Art DAO. In my own opinion DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) are meant to be communities rather than teams. Whats the key difference between Young Fresh and Near x Art? ---

@ted.iv pointed out the issue with the council members and as such, [I have left the young fresh Dao as a council member](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/youngfresh.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/youngfresh.sputnik-dao.near-6) and similarly, @larkim as left Near x Art. @Bimpsyy will be leaving Near x Art and we will be adding new council members. As for the difference, the two Daos are entirely separate. Near x Art Dao focus is : creation of utility in terms of physical arts for NFT, supporting non governmental organization, promoting near to a diverse audience not exclusively youth, sensitization of artists towards the potential of getting revenue in the ecosystem. While Young Fresh Dao focuses on the youth, music, live music events, and so on. @FritzWorm ---
