    • gaining Creatives DAO feedback and support on the proposed DAO vertical direction - done
    • Forum post communications to the Community with the new process, new proposed direction for DAO verticals & announcing the new Guilds Grant Program all by next Monday latest and done in collaboration with @Grace @jlwaugh and other Community Team members as needed - has to be delayed

Roadmap Initiatives:

  • Assisting FLO team (Zana primarily) with retroactive data gathering for all Community payouts - done and will continue
