Hi @marketingdao-council, after 2 months of discussion, we have now agreed to continue submitting our proposals here in the forum and to continue to represent Near to Turkey. We’re really happy with that, I’ve noted all the things we discussed and will share proposals and monthly reports in more detail.
The last January report you can find here: [REPORT] Near Turkey January 2022 - #4 by Dacha
In February and March we didn’t get an approval, but still supporting daily in the turkish group.
Currently we have about 100-500 messages in the group daily
In the next three months we will also give support on Discord. The main reason for that is, I saw some questions there and I couldn’t see an active admin supporting. So I have decided to check once a day at least for now and answer all questions and also redirect them to Near Turkey Telegram (if they want to join and get a faster response). btw. does anyone know how to get the admin role there?
Support in the group, help turkish members understanding about NEAR Protocol
Continuesly share News on Telegram and Twitter

I object to this proposal as they couldn’t be acquitted of previous serious accusations.
I wonder why I’ve been blocked in the Telegram Turkey Group, despite the fact that the NEAR Protocol is decentralized. (I have never made any or any of these discussions public on the Turkish Telegram Channel, only complaining about them here in the governance forum.)
Is it a crime for you to express our opinion here, revealing corruption and encouraging transparency?
Is the NEAR Protocol going to be an Inc., Ltd., or Co., with each country operating as its own entity?
But as I said before, I am always active in the Forum. I had the opportunity to read the proposal last night when you published it. like always you want a budget for non-existent admins.
Hi guys, please remember that we’ve decided to work separately as we couldn’t find a way to work together.
You are already supporting in a separate group.
You have a separate proposal, different plans and goals.
I wonder why you guys mention same things again here and talking bad about me?
I’ve also noted your threats from today via the private chat @KriptoRaptor please stop that!
producing authentic content for the Turkish community. Planning to run an improved version of OWS for Turkey. Cooperate with all contributors in a friendly and fair way.
NEW DAO: For a more transparent and decentralized community in Turkey.
Twitter: an easy-to-understand news source with an infographic.
(no, just retweet and google translate as you normally do)
Awesome!
that is actually what I proposed over here last month.
This should be done asap, since all diplomacy attempts have failed.
Let’s jump in a call again and discuss it with all members who want to contribute. I also have things to add.
We’ve already dedicated a non-insignificant amount of time to these discussions and could not come to an amicable conclusion where community members agreed to work together.
Hence, I believe we should move forward with the suggestions made in our private discussion:
Now, we can’t (and shouldn’t) prevent anyone from expressing their views on the forum in a calm and respectful manner. That said, I think the most optimal way to move forward is with the suggestions above and a heightened level of vigilance from the Community and Council members in regards to these proposals.
In response to this and seeing that more commenting has still resulted in continuing back-and-forth accusation slinging that both sides have flagged as inappropriate, I have closed this post for further comment at this time. I will leave it up to @David_NEAR’s discretion to unlock it so that the @marketingdao-council may reply and consider this three-month funding request.
Individuals who have raised concerns about this group publicly and in private chat - your concerns have been heard. As you all know, the power of community organization is best utilized when you’re gathering around a common productive goal, and I look forward to seeing here on the Forum what community-powered initiatives you propose for the broader NEAR Turkish community.
@cizi31 and team - please carefully note the suggestions highlighted here once more for how we’re looking to proceed. I would now amend that the optional point of changing your name has grown in urgency in order for there to be a clear understanding of the multiplicity of voices within the Turkish community. As a gesture of good will and a compromise, please strongly consider this.
