[adrianseneca]

@Naboto

$1600 per flight? Would you like to take a business class?

Absolutely not - travel from SFO to Lisbon, Economy Class with no extras is around $1600:

@Naboto

Hotel 13 days? Do you know the NEARCon dates: Sep 11 - 14, 4 days! Not 13 days.

Yup, I explained that here:

@adrianseneca

Travel Dates: September 3rd - September 16th

• In order to accomplish our events, we like to arrive at minimum on week before an event to get settled, understand the environment, walk the venue and get all of the supplies needed. (Sept 3rd-Sept 10th) Then we would like to attend NEARCon and any other events associated with it afterwards while giving us adequate time to rest and prepare to travel home (Sept 11th-Sept 16th).

@Naboto

• You are now qualified for pier Diem because you are not an NF employee.

We were not aware that daily funds for things such as travel and food were inappropriate to request for as we were approved in our last proposal of this nature for exactly that.

@Naboto

What stands for childcare, and why should NF pay?

Childcare stands for full time care of 2 children for 15 days, actually done by another DAO we have onboarded into the ecosystem as we pull in essential skills to Web3. You can see our explanation below for childcare in our last approved proposal of this nature. In short - in order for NEAR to be an inclusive space for women and mothers to give their contributions, the invisible labor of raising the next generation must be recognized and supported, otherwise Web3 continues to be a male dominated space.

We are women lead team living on minimum income, one of us a being a single mother of three who recently lost her primary caregiver in November 2021, meaning an entire family is connected to all of our movements. As unordinary as we may be to some, the essence of us is truly Kin - family. Without the living people we interact with, are supported by and whom we are raising every day, we are nothing. We do everything we do so that the future generations that we are nurturing will have a chance at living in better systems than what are available today. To us decentralization is no joke as we watch our seeds grow in real time. Our work is deeply rooted in shifting systems of living from compartmentalized, competitive, disassociated exclusivity to holistic, open sourced inclusivity that support the wellbeing of all beings rather than hold barriers up to those of us who are caregivers to future generations.
