The proposal to the Marketing DAO on Astro has been posted: Astro

@marketingdao-council the payout was received to the marmaj DAO thank you very much :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Notes:

The price of NEAR at the time of payout was $9.14, so the total amount to cover the proposal would be ~213 NEAR.

Would love more clarification as to what the process is for ensuring that the funds received actually cover the cost of a proposal. The current process seems inefficient considering it has been 13 days since this proposal was approved on Astro DAO and it seems unreasonable that the price of NEAR would stay constant for 2 weeks…

Seems like a USD amount could be agreed upon in a poll and then Near Finance could just pay out that NEAR equivalent when they get around to it?

Hey Chloe,

If you need further funding, just make a request using the current format.

Agree, and we do encourage requests to be denominated in USD.

Thank you, will do if needed (not currently in a rush and current volatility may solve the issue on its own :sweat_smile:). Thank you for the quick response @David_NEAR.

It’ll make sure we do subsequent requests with a UAS value and let NF convert :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:.

[REPORT] NEAR Workshop at ETH Denver by the Marma J Foundation

Following the Marma J Foundation’s involvement at ETH Denver, we are happy to report that the timeline was successfully completed. From February 10-23, the Marma J Foundation travelled to and attended the ETH Denver conference in Denver, Colorado. During the conference, @chloe successfully delivered and presented in 3 ETH Denver events. These events were:

  1. Fireside chat with H.E.R DAO
  2. Multi-DAO Workshop
  3. Moderated the NFT Building Blocks Panel

Of the achievement milestones, our first objective was successfully completed.

For our organic social media posts, we had proposed:

However, we did not successfully complete this target. For this objective, two original posts were created within the timeline:

  1. https://twitter.com/chloethedev/status/1493737699425017856
  2. https://twitter.com/itsmarmaj/status/1493735759735496710

In addition to these original posts, we reshared posts covering this event. For example:

  1. https://twitter.com/AlejandroVBeta1/status/1494320579972714498
  2. https://twitter.com/EthereumDenver/status/1495488636128743431

We regret that we could not complete the three additional original posts per platform in the original proposed timeline. Going forward, proposals involving social media posts will be fulfilled by ensuring that:

  • All posts are pre-planned to avoid missing deadlines
  • All posts are pre-scheduled to be released within the proposed timeline
  • Posts are original and fulfill original requirements
  • Posts are shared on the appropriate social platforms
  • Posts include relevant tags and hashtags to NEAR

We look forward to improving upon our efforts!
