New and old council members are implementing bounties, re-engaging with the community and preparing the next several months of activity. In this month of October, the main focus will be focusing on NEAR | CON and support the newly onboarded DEV @sainthiago to the best of our abilities. @nearestchico is working on the second VR Motion Landscape and @nico is developing a Soundscape for the first one. These will be presented @ NEAR | CON. At the same time, we are supporting the ongoing bounties and implementing changes to the DAO structure, to help it grow and expand in the future. In addition to that, we will focus on strategies to increase the VR DAO sustainability and strategies to generate income. In order to carry out the actions we planned for this DAO and achieve the goals proposed for the month of August, we request funding for the following costs and activities: - Council: 50$ - 7N sub-total: 400$ - xN This value is significantly lower than most DAOs. We are choosing to organize in this fashion to clarify the difference between passive and active roles. - Administration, communication, external relations - monthly report: 100$ - 13N [frnvpr] - monthly funding request: 100$ - 13N [frnvpr] - manage twitter: 100$ - 13N [frnvpr] - manage instagram: 100$ - 13N [samiasns] - manage TG: 100$ - 15N [jmm] - TG tips (linked to managing TG): 50$ - 7N - manage communication in the forum: 200$ - 26N [frnvpr] - manage the VR DAO Mintbase store: 100$ - 13N [jmm] - meet with other daos and possible partners: 100$ - 13N [frnvpr] :note: Tasks were discussed here: [[CLOSED] VR DAO organizational chart](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-vr-dao-organizational-chart/5961) Sub-total: 750$ -xN - Develop and implement strategies to increase sustainability and generate income.

So, we will ask, to the Creatives DAO, less than the total amount we will spend in October.

Those will be fixed once and if the request is approved by the council of the Creatives DAO. This must be done in order to protect the DAOs funds, otherwise we risk being unable to fulfill our commitments. That also means that members can ask their payout at any point during the month. Used conversion rate: tba. : NOTE 2: Beginning now, and every month, those interested in having their proposals approved (and included) in the VR DAO monthly fund request must present them in the Forum with enough anticipation for the proposals to be discussed and approved in time of the request. The request will be created, every month, between the 1st and the 3rd. Proposals who come late will 1) be included in the following month’s request, or 2) be supported with the current VR DAO balance, if possible.
