⚠ **IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED THE GOOGLE FORM FOR A PREVIOUS FUNDING REQUEST, DO NOT SUBMIT THIS FORM FOR THE SAME FUNDING REQUEST** ⚠ To better facilitate the community funding process, and to avoid [delays](http://gov.near.org/t/psa-delays-in-processing-funding-requests/25357/), there have been amendments to the funding flow. The amendments are as follows: > [@\[New Process\] Community Payouts](http://gov.near.org/t/new-process-community-payouts/13651/1): > > 1. **UPDATED PROCESS:** To get the payout process started, the Guild Leader, DAO, or Community representative (‘representative’) must complete **[this form](https://ironcladapp.com/public-launch/62d570637ace1068beaae898)** requesting your personal information, and your acknowledgment and agreement to the new Guilds Terms & Conditions and NEAR’s [Privacy Policy](https://near.org/privacy/). This step is required every time you are posting a payout request. > > ⚠ **ONLY COMPLETE THE FORM ONCE YOUR ASTRO DAO POLL HAS BEEN APPROVED** To recap: - You no longer need to fill out the Google Form - The new form, which automates away much of the manual work, **must only be completed after your AstroDAO poll is approved** **This new process should be followed from now onwards** ❗ ❗ If you’re awaiting funding/KYC - **do not fill out the new form**. Only new applications should fill it, existing funding requests will be processed ASAP.❗ ❗ Please let me know if there are any questions. Have a good one 🍻 ---

Thanks for the update Sir. Would you be able to clarify, for grantees that have already submitted the old Google Form and have not had their payout processed, should they wait or proceed to fill out the new form? ---

Hi, @David_NEAR. I fulfilled the new form before seeing this post, in the name of Metaverse DAO. As @jsc2022.near did in the name of The Philosophers DAO. Is there something we can do now? ---
