NEAR Digital Collective President - Blaze for Consideration and Vote

Hi, I’m Blaze, the leader of the Open Shard Alliance (OSA), coFounder Cheddar, Ref Finance Board member, NEAR advocate, and an established leader and voice in the NEAR ecosystem. I’ve been a community member since before MainNet and have worked nearly full-time within the community for two years, mostly at my own expense. During this time, I’ve helped rally, organize and lead many initiatives, including being the second guild on NEAR, helping define the direction of guilds, assisting with onboar…

The NEAR Manifesto (Draft) to shape the NEAR Constitution is now posted for comment.

Discussion on the NEAR Manifesto to shape the NEAR Constitution

This document is a community manifesto that aims to help shape the NEAR Constitution by providing the appropriate guardrails and scope for further advancement of the discussion. The NEAR Constitution shall be true to the spirit of decentralization - being fluid to allow seamless amendments while also defining the basic tenets for a robust ecosystem. VISION NEAR is a global, decentralized ecosystem made up of contributors from all walks of life, building projects and coordinating programs, on a…

As we gain more clarity on the direction and mission of the NDC, it’s clear that a higher NEAR ecosystem-wide manifesto and constitution are needed. Please review, comment, and elaborate on this manifesto that defines how our community should operate.

Hello community, I confess that I’m lost in the level of irony in this topic, can someone explain what is happening?

[Naboto]

It looks like people who got reach on nf grants like and have never been involved in near community life like Blaze want to take over an independent decentralized community in their hands.

Other questions to NF:

• Did anybody ask the community before implementing the changes?
• Do we need the changes?
• Who from Near Foundation made the ULTIMATE TOTALITARIAN DICTATORIAL DECISION?
• WHERE IS A POLL?

Hey Sarah,

Hope you’re well.

This can be a bit confusing for members who are new to the community.

To answer your question, Dacha is working as a council for marketing DAO and has been an active member in this forum.

Beyond this I don’t know more about Dacha.

Maybe @Dacha would like to help clarify your questions.

I responded to this in the other thread where you originally inquired. You seem to be repeating the same question on many threads. I’m not trying to take over, just putting my name forward as a candidate.

Feel free to reach me out about any ideas here on dm on tg @kmotiv

[sarahkornfeld]

Thanks.

Why don’t you provide a bio or link or site? Everyone on this thread has done so? You’ve linked actions, but not background or identity.

I’m only asking because we want to be transparent. And, you seem to have some big fans.

Love to know more about you!

[bagadefente]

Thanks, @Dacha!
but maybe I didn’t make myself clear: I still need to understand better what’s going on to see how I can contribute, that’s what I meant

and that’s why I want to keep following forum posts about this topic =)

In summary, the community is engaged in a new initiative to define an ecosystem-wide governance model, on-chain voting mechanism, and treasury to fund the NEAR ecosystem. This is an experiment to allow the community to engage in “the Power of Governance” to self-govern and manage a treasury.

It’s a monumental task, with the first objectives being:

1. Define leaders to help organize, manage and lead each workgroup

2. Define a NEAR constitution based on the recently published manifesto

3. Define the proper legal structure for this new treasury fund

4. Make a grant request to the foundation to fund the treasury

5. Fund an operations arm to take the governance model, on-chain voting, and funding initiatives to fruition

@IgbozeIsrael and I have the couple of ideas about engagement. Let’s brainstorm together?
