Thanks for such a thoughtful reply! A few comments…

✨ Yesss! Here is the official NEAR vision (established in 2020): a world where all people control their data, money, and the power of governance.

I’d love to see more “Community DAOs” with open, inclusive membership structures to promote diversity through accessibility.

We should be mindful that NF is part of the community, not separate!

Very important! I believe this could also be said about Community DAO groups, especially those involving other DAOs.

> Summary [NEAR Community DAO](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near) generates opportunities for leaders to connect and collaborate with participants in our ecosystem. This organization cultivates an environment for networking, sharing expertise, and exploring decentralized governance. Community DAO groups connect NEAR communities with each other to facilitate coordination as a blockchain ecosystem. Currently, there are 16 groups in our [Community DAO](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/all): [Community](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Community)[Council](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Council)[MoDAOrators](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/MoDAOrators)[Education](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Education)[Open Web Sandbox](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Open%20Web%20Sandbox)[NFT Club](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/NFT%20Club)[NEARGames](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/NEARGames)[Venez…](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Venezuela)

### Multi-DAO Governance

That’s my intention for this [group of active DAOs](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/DAOs) in our Community DAO.

Which others might be included?

I’d love to get your feedback on the purpose, vision, and mission of NEAR Community DAO:

Anyone may [join us here on the forum](http://gov.near.org/g/CommunityDAO) and connect with members via [Telegram](https://t.me/CommunityDAO), [Discord](https://discord.gg/Hs6m7VqpyF), etc. Be sure to create a proposal to add your NEAR account to this open [Community group](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Community), if you haven’t already 🙂
