Thank you for your proposal.

I think you are not aware of MDAO new funding process and guidelines in V0. Take some time to read the guidelines https://gov.near.org/t/announcement-marketing-dao-constellation-ndc-v0-new-proposals-funding-procedures-julys-funding-request/35476

We are currently reviewing September proposal not August.

And your submission is not align with our this month KPIs https://gov.near.org/t/announcement-marketing-dao-constellation-september-review-schedule-kpis/36047

Unfortunately, i won’t support your proposal in this current form, feel free to resubmit next quarter.

Hi @murphy1 thanks for the proposal. Following @Bakaka’s comments, I am adding some additional information that I think will help as we navigate the proposal and funding process together.

  • We are currently reviewing proposals ~the first week of each month for future funding toward projects and initiatives that meet our current KPIs.
  • Here are the MDAO September KPIs. We need these KPIs from proposers in order to request funding from the NDC.
  • We are currently not able to fund all projects, and we have a large number of proposals that have come in for limited funds. For reference, we have 70 projects under current consideration for funding in September alone.

I note that we now have a Telegram chat open to discuss the proposal further and determine the best way forward.

Then we can update this thread accordingly. Thanks!

Thank you for the call, we are going to close this one and focus on your September submission.
