Think its not right choice to choose someone.
With my vision its important role and person who will voted for this role have to be very good practical experience and helpful to community.
Do u support my point or u still feeling like choose someone?
Hey all!
Actually, looking at the flags on your account, looks like this is a sock puppet for @dmitryne and @moon_selena - strong chance that those two accounts, and the one I’m replying to, are the same individual.
Whereas, there is no such flag for @Klint’s account.
I would warn you that this is against the rules when used to sway opinion:
I have worked, personally, with Taylor in the past. He’s an excellent marketer. I would try and view this matter objectively based on the information he’s provided.

U still not reply for my questions. Im interested to know answers. For clarifying.
To believe u and Klint i need to see work he did before. Like his courses. I would like to see link to video or some other work. Can i?
I checked his YouTube channel and didn’t find any professional video about crypto marketing.
I think people for this role have to be helpful for community too. Like if they can see ur mistakes , they can share some information to grow. Cause if community members will grow, then will grow all community quality.
@David_NEAR
Are u agree?
I’ll let @Klint comment on it further.
Here’s his website.
“He’s a regular lecturer at the University of Copenhagen, IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen Business School, Talent Garden, and Google.”
You can see that in his videos. I don’t think you get to that point without being a Marketing Professional of his caliber. I don’t think he has any reason to lie, either.
This is not to say we shouldn’t hear other people’s proposals to fill the role. We absolutely should.

Hey fellow, I’d suggest you watch your choice of words, this is a very strong allegation against @David_NEAR @Dacha and @Klint. I suggest you investigate properly before bringing up such derogatory terms. If you have any personal issues with any of these members I suggest you seek how to resolve them than this.

Very cogent and comprehensive overview here @Klint. Thanks for taking initiative in support of the community and posting this. I’ve seen your work and dedication to the ecosystem and am in support of you having a leadership role.
Just a few thoughts after reading through the thread:
- There seems to be some question/confusion around the NDC itself and from what I understand, it’s happening, so I support finding a way forward under the new structure and working collaboratively – even if many of us have different perspectives and goals – to ensure a strong community and ecosystem in the future.
- I think NEARCON will be a great opportunity for many people in the community to connect and talk in person, and I am hopeful that that opportunity will lead to a more collaborative and positive outcome for the community than a lot of the commentary we have seen lately and, for example, in this thread.
- For the record, when the MarketingDAO closed or does not support a proposal, it is not personal or a judgment on the merit of your project. It is rather a majority decision that was made based on our collective opinion about the responsible use of community funds. We are all sincerely trying to do our best to fund great projects and grow the ecosystem. Sometimes there are issues understanding proposals, and in those cases, it is more productive and efficient to try to communicate and work things out vs. trolling and criticizing people on a personal level.
- I also agree with @sarahkornfeld that we do need more diversity – and I would say across the board not just in specific DAOs or guilds, etc. It’s an ongoing need that I think is overlooked in web3, and to the extent that I can help facilitate more diversity, I am here for that and will continue to be an advocate for it.
None of us knows what the future holds, but I think we can all agree that we want to see a bright future ahead of NEAR. It will take many of us contributing and trying to build bridges in order to make that happen, and I am glad to see the enthusiasm and dedication displayed on this thread in the midst of a lot of different opinions and perspectives. That in itself is hugely motivating and makes me optimistic about what’s ahead.

My only question is that would there a boot camp for people provided with the grants, something like orange dao (y combinator) does,they provide incubation,they mentor them or give them marketing knowledge and everything else they need to succeed,I think asac once recommended that and it should be implemented don’t you think?

All you have said is good but I think you need to look at things more carefully before making a decision and closing or giving a vote of no on proposals without looking back!
You voted no on the shitzu proposal for accusations that had no proper proof.
There were conversations later on but you didn’t respond to them,you voted no immediately an accusation was made and that’s bad/not fair in my opinion.
I even said something but you didn’t reply to the message I sent.
I’m not against you or anything, I’m only against the way you make decisions without taking deep thoughts like you did on shtizu,I hope you change in that aspect.

Great work and plan put out here.
It’s clear you have the qualities to stand in this role and I throw my weight behind you.
@David_NEAR, while we seek ‘decentralization’, it’s becoming clear that the forum, apart from where proposals are given attention, has become a place where people come to fight others because they can write long paragraphs.
This should be considered and something done about it in key decisions.
Like it was mentioned on the call yesterday by @satojandro, we can’t neglect someone with experience just because others who have issues with people have the forum to say all they want.
As NDC come to stay, many of such characters should.be checked and placed where they belong when it comes to important decisions for the ecosystem.

Hey man, watch your words please. These kind of derogatory statements are not entertained here. If you have any complaints about Klint or anyone, try to bring the proofs and still be respectful there. Don’t use such derogatory comments.
Talking about transparency, if you spend your time here you will know how much transparency is there. Most of the activities are on chain. Your last post was about 4 months ago fella. How would you know the ongoings of NEAR Community.
You accuse David, Dacha & Klint as the same person. What kind of illogical accusation is this?
All three are different and having strong profile & contributions towards NEAR Ecosystem.
While everyone has right to speak doesn’t mean they use bad words and false accusations.
Flagging your comment as we don’t tolerate personal hate comments here. Please refrain from doing such in future.

Hey everyone,
There is so much to address with all sorts of interesting comments in this thread.
Retribution from Rejecting Previous Proposals
As I noted in my post, I have been very stringent on previous projects.
When I joined the Marketing DAO, I made it very clear that my feedback on proposals would be judged based on the potential quality of the work, the nature of the project and how it reflects the KPIs discussed (wallets, engagement, and the potential for Near to further penetrate the global market).
I wish I could (in good conscience) approve everything. Someone has to make tough decisions. Saying “no,” is the least enjoyable, hardest part, and one of the most important aspects of the Marketing DAO Council member’s responsibility.
For people that feel like I’ve done them wrong, I’m sorry. You are always able to ask for feedback and there are other council members that often take different angles.
My Skillset / Relevance / Resources
For the sake of argument, here are some resources to review:
120+ Presentations I’ve given over the last 4ish Years
- Tab 1 - Presentations [Links, Videos, and URLs)
- Tab 2 - Podcast Appearances
- Tab 3 - Awards
- Tab 4 - Writing
50+ Pages of Postive Reviews / Positive Feedback / Testimonials
These come from:
- Public speaking
- Lectures
- GrowthSecrets.org Masterclass Graduates
- Clients
- Startup Mentorship / Advisory
- Etc
Stalk me on Social Media:
By far, I am the most active on Linkedin. Feel free to connect
https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylorryan/
Extensive list of clients:
I’m uncomfortable dropping links to the dozens of Fintech, Crypto, Web3, and Saas companies I’ve worked with over the last decade and a half. This should be more than sufficient.
Same Person Allegation
Are we trolling? I think we’re trolling at this point.
Do you genuinely believe we are all part of a shadow conspiracy?
I’m fairly certain that @Dacha isn’t coming to the event but I know @David_NEAR will be.
I’ll address this accusation with the merit it deserves:
David and I will plan on touching a mirror at the same time to swap bodies at Nearcon just to further confuse people.
Bandwidth for NDC - RIGHT NOW
On the call yesterday, I made an observation about the short notice period for the NDC initiative and the desire to churn out ideas and execute on them quickly.
The issue
Most anyone that is planning on being at NearCon is likely already working on a variety of projects.
In the week leading up to a 4+ day conference, even if you’re just attending, you need to:
- Squeeze in all your current meetings
- Plan to be MIA for all your current projects
- Make family arrangements
- Set meetings / organize your schedule for Nearcon / side events
- And all the other obligations that go with being a human
The Reality:
1). People with lots of competencies and skill sets are busy. They are also the most likely to do the best work.
2). Competent people have prior commitments. Most can’t drop everything to re-arrange their schedule with very little notice (especially in the face of a massive conference). Plenty of people are trying to prioritize NDC right now.
3). If you don’t have an empty schedule, you are surely not able to spend time reverse-trolling and barking back at burner accounts.
I’m out going on 45+ mins just responding thoroughly (in this post) to a throw-away account posting about whether or not I’m a real person.
4). The shift in prioritization won’t happen overnight. Again, the people that are most likely to do great work for NDC are not the ones that have an exorbitant amount of extra time on their hands. I suspect that is why there isn’t as much activity around this at the moment.
I’m offloading more of my responsibilities in the hopes that this whole endeavor will come to fruition.
Side note: I already did this once back in April and May, to focus on building an accelerator and got burned badly.
5). Nothing will happen without the right leadership, talent, time, priorities, and mechanism for feedback laid out. Enthusiasm, ideas, and conjecture are great but planning and execution are my focus at the moment.
Conclusion
A large part of my coming days is to outline core elements, priorities, and skillsets to get things moving. We’re all working really hard. Have some patience.
I’m genuinely concerned this will become an exercise in “innovation theater.”
As I stated, I’m not interested in an unproductive effort that burns time and leads to no action. I’m eager to work with all sorts of people to be sure we’re covering all the bases.
Setting a structure with which there is a clear purpose, ideas can freely flow, and there is a mechanism for vetting and supporting opportunities is the whole game.
There’s so much more to say, but I’ve got to run. Thanks for reading!

The proposal is already up
I feel so much pity with the progress of Near Nordic.
My humble suggestions is:
It will be interesting to see you apply all this with Near Nordic, maybe you can get more followership from your over 7000 students, then come to the forum with results.
