[Preamble] New Quarter, New Vibes:

  • This week is all OKRs all the time and to further our plans for greater transprency, I’ve set up a OKRs subcategory here on the Forum for our team to use if they so desire to post their Q3 visions: About the OKRs category

  • I have created my [Q3 OKRs] Rebecca Hallquist - Community Squad - Community OS Specialist which includes my first NEAR 30-60-90 execution plan [Miro board fun ahead] under this new subcategory. I did model this idea after what trailblazer @chloe did and thanks to @shreyas and @norah.near for sharing their own Miro boards in advance so we could better align on some overlapping areas. Feedback welcome!

Results from Last Week:

  • Finished work on the Guilds Program Revamp [July 2021] document which is currently undergoing internal review before it is made public by this Friday

  • Created internal timeline for OPERATION WATERFALL a.k.a. the plan for the full implementation of the new DAO verticals and new Guild project-based rewards structure, which will be implemented by July 31st ( :mechanical_arm: CC: @shreyas @jcatnear @3UN1C3)

  • Added my contributions to the new Minting Music business model and Bonnaroo plans & participated in a great meeting discussing potential partnership with Paras, Mintbase, NxM/DAOrecords with @chloe @Grace
    -next steps to come

  • Worked with the OWS Council to present Sandbox’s 5-month road map and market strategy plans to the MarCom team & to facilitate the first time SputnikDAO was used for Sandbox’s end-of-month rewards claiming
