Hello Near Community,

- Collaborate with sales and marketing departments to package product
From my perspective Ops lead should provide community roadmap with milestones, so budget will be distributed according the roadmap. My current vision based on the budget prepared by HoM:
- Update the Election Procedure.
1.1 First milestone: a new election procedure, developed jointly by NDC members with
community participation, approved by CoA and HoM. Tentative budget ~10k.
1.2 Second milestone: implementation of the election procedure on the level of smart contracts; it’s review and validation. Tentative budget ~50k.
1.3 Third milestone: preparation and implementation of the new procedure within the next NDC elections. Tentative budget ~50k.
1.4 Fourth milestone: proper handover of the NDC to the next cadence. Tentative budget ~10k.
Total 120k out of 150k in the budget. We will clarify and confirm the budget as soon as we choose tech team from Near community.
- Streamline NDC Operations:
2.1 NDC Operations Legal Setup. Tentative budget ~60k
2.2 Governance Framework Analysis and Improvements. Tentative budget ~30k
2.3 Setup the Team(s) and Team Process. Tentative budget ~40k
Total 130k out of 200k in the budget. We will focus on efficient manner of delivery, i.e. to do more with less.
I’m impressed by NDC approach and I’ll be glad to be part of executive team.
Regards,
Alex Botezatu
