I am particularly grateful to the dedicated Congress members who worked together during the last two months.

Hey everyone!
I’m Evangel, Council of Advisors member and it was a pleasure to work with everyone in the NEAR ecosystem.

Participation
I have the role of Point of Contact in CoA and in October, even before the creation of a chat between CoA and HoM, I tried to keep abreast of all the events in HoM and notify CoA members about what was happening in other houses, so I contacted other Points of Contact and received important information.
In addition, my task includes tracking the activity of each member of the CoA, this is recording votes on Astro++ and visits to CoA weekly sync, in October this was recorded on Clickup and in November this moved to Google Doc.
I also took on the role of creating proposals in Astro++, you can see them at the link:

Dear Near Community,
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve in the House of Merit, a role entrusted to me through your confidence and votes. This report is a reflection of my journey and contributions over the past two months - October and November 2023, highlighting my efforts and aspirations within our vibrant community.
In October, my focus was on ensuring a smooth transition for the Near Digital Collective (NDC). This involved contributions to governance, particularly in aiding Grassroots DAOs (GDAOs) to prepare their applications to the NDC. My engagement in various NDC spaces and community calls was driven by a commitment to understand and contribute to the election processes and the overall dynamics of the House of Merit and NDC. Collaboratively, I worked with the Governance Working Group (GWG) to aid in the transition away from v0 governance. Progress was gradual, but looking back, the foundational steps taken have been integral to our collective growth.
November saw me delve deeper into governance and community engagement. I drafted and successfully got a proposal approved for the Near Research Collective (NRC) to join the NDC and actively participated in voting on a majority of the proposals within the House of Merit. My abstention from certain hiring-related proposals was a conscious decision, aligned with my principles. I also facilitated the Near Certified Researcher course and extended collaborations to include She is Near and various community projects though educational initiatives. A crucial part of this month was my interaction with NRC and Creatives DAO (CDAO) teams, alongside my work within the Marma J Foundation to foster creativity in the Near ecosystem. There have been challenges as well, particularly the need for better investment in our on-chain tools - a sentiment that echoes my belief in the potential of the Near ecosystem. I contributed where possible, joining group discussions and work, though I have not taken much of a leadership role yet. As the NDC becomes more structured, I am eager to find and embrace leadership opportunities.
As I continue my term in Congress, my focus will be on enhancing community onboarding to the NDC and refining the voting process for our next elections. These areas are not just pivotal for our immediate progress but are also essential for our long-term success and cohesion as a community. I am excited and hopeful for what we can achieve together in the coming months.
Thank you once again for your trust and support. Together, we are building something truly remarkable.
Warm regards,
Chloe Lewis

NDC TC Council Zubair Report Oct-Nov 2023
Oct
100% Meeting attendance.
Being a transparency commission member, I have started my work with preparing the various documents with other members. I have mainly participated in weekly meetings, provided my suggestions, left comments in the docs.
Gave my contribution to review the initial drafts of the procedures, guidelines, forms etc. and provided feedback, shared my points to include. Tested the forms before making them live for voting. I have also written parts of Code of Conduct document.
The transition months have been tough because it took time to understand our actual duties, decode the framework and make it wider. We had to prepare each and every doc from the scratch and we didn’t have proper guidelines regarding that.
Nov
100% meeting & voting attendance.
Gave my contribution in the drafts for docs voted on Astraa++ https://near.org/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?page=congress&house=tc#/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?page=dao&daoId=congress-tc-v1.ndc-gwg.near Attended every meeting, shared my opinions and comments on the docs to finalize them.

Actively participated in the preparation of docs but I would surely like to write docs and procedures also. As we open up for real investigation tasks, I would be happy to contribute my best.
Thanks!

NDC HOM Council Rexux Report Oct-Nov 2023
In the past two months, as a HOM member, I actively participated in various calls involving GDAOs, HOM Internal discussions, interactions with other Houses, and other calls.
I contributed actively to the voting on Astra++ on polls like HOM Governance decisions, GDAO Polls, NDC Hiring, and more, achieving an impressive 94% participation rate.
During the initial two months, I took on the role of sponsoring MDAO and CDAO. I played a part in the creation of Astro++ polls for funding and was responsible for drafting and publishing additional Astro++ polls.
Additionally, reviewed and assisted grassroots DAO teams with their proposals as well.
To ensure smooth operations, I contributed to the maintenance of ClickUp for internal HOM management, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.
For any questions or comments, feel free to reach out, and I’m more than willing to discuss further.

Hey NEAR community!
I’m Alex, Aurora Labs Head of Finance/Legal and House of Merit member.
Please, consider my report for October and November as HoM member.
First of all I participated in on-chain voting process, appointment of the lead ops and other NDC stuff, budget allocation to different teams and DAOs, weekly and ad hoc calls on different day to day NDC questions.
In addition, I tried to be involved as much as possible into legal questions wrt NDC:
In November I participated in 60% of weekly meetings and 58% of Votings.
Conclusion
Considering very inconvenient timing of calls and major discussions of NDC members, I will keep trying to do my best to actively participate in voting and communication processes within NDC, and share my knowledge and expertise in legal, finance and taxation questions.
