voting “no” because this proposal seems to not fit with what is outlined in the [City Nodes Category](http://gov.near.org/c/city-nodes/64).

Also, from a personal standpoint, I do not see 6500 N (~$36,000) worth of outlined initiatives here. There are a variety of ways in which I think this proposal should be reworked, but the first step would be to start following what is currently outlines for the Lisboa city node: [http://gov.near.org/c/city-nodes/lisboa/65](http://gov.near.org/c/city-nodes/lisboa/65)

[http://gov.near.org/t/about-the-city-nodes-category/3117/5?u=chloe](http://gov.near.org/t/about-the-city-nodes-category/3117/5)

To be perfectly clear, the Lisboa City node has received NO FUNDING for its set up work so far on the forums and the “city-nodes.sputnik-dao.near” DAO is where funding requests should go for city node activities.

[Proposal for funding to create the city-nodes DAO](https://www.sputnik.fund/#/dao/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near/proposals/115)

Lastly, I find it highly inappropriate that this proposal was submitted to the community squad DAO without first begin approved off chain.

You have tried this previously with the Creatives DAO: [🔴 I have created an animated film that teaches newbies to open an account and protects them from basic mistakes](http://gov.near.org/t/i-have-created-an-animated-film-that-teaches-newbies-to-open-an-account-and-protects-them-from-basic-mistakes/3018)

And my response was clear then as well: [🔴 I have created an animated film that teaches newbies to open an account and protects them from basic mistakes - #2 by chloe](http://gov.near.org/t/i-have-created-an-animated-film-that-teaches-newbies-to-open-an-account-and-protects-them-from-basic-mistakes/3018/2)

Proposals for funding should be discussed and approved off chain on the forums FIRST before they get sent to on chain DAOs for voting.
