Thanks for the proposal Fritz. I’ve read through the proposal, reports and comments on the Forum. I agree with what Klint/Taylor said about there being a lot here, which does make it more time-consuming to review and consider. I also agree with what Satandro/AVB said about us needing to understand how the funds are being dispersed, i.e. to support guild activities in general and/or individual projects. I agree that we prefer individual projects to request funding from the Marketing DAO directly, but I also do see how NEAR Venezuela could support them through your social media activities in a supplemental way.
I am generally supportive of approving funding so you can continue for another month, but here are a few things that raised questions for me as I went through all the information here and they are areas I would recommend for improvement going forward:
- You funding amount is basically the max that we can distribute. But there’s no clear justification for that number. It looks more like you are asking for the max funding and then figuring out ways to use it vs. figuring out what is needed most and is most effective and then building the funding request from that.
- The Twitter account is not very active – there minimal recent tweets and mostly retweets and it’s unclear to me what the value is there. I would recommend creating more compelling content.
- I tried to click through to one of the recent Medium articles and got a 404.
- The distribution of funds is unclear to me. You give the OWS funding table/chart, but it’s not clear to me how those funds are being assigned and distributed to the content creators. Can you clarify how your DAO chooses what content activities to carry out and fund each month?
If you can provide some additional details about the above, that would be helpful. Also, the questions and feedback are not meant to call the proposal or intentions into question at all, but when we receive complex proposals for the max funding amount, I think we have a responsibility to understand everything so we can be sure we are doing our due diligence before allocating the community’s funds.
