Hello NEAR community! It was a wonderful week we had as the last [community update](http://gov.near.org/t/rc-updates-regional-community-working-group-proposal-updates/34444), and we sure know that this update is a sure sought. Sequel to the Updates on proposals submitted by Regional Communities as found in [The Trello](https://trello.com/c/TNfQY71x), we recommended[these](https://trello.com/c/5OEpKHWU) proposals for approval and [these](https://trello.com/c/qP0YboFH) proposals were still under review based on the RCWG Guidelines. However, we would want to call the attention of the Regional Communities to know that the RCWG had no power to APPROVE or REJECT proposals based on the method of the agreement with the MarketingDAO. This means the responsibility of Approving proposals is vested in the MarketingDAO. Given this fact, the following proposals were approved by the MArketingDAO; > [@\[Approved\] Near Native Community (Social Media Budget) May, June 2023 - one month $3300](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-near-native-community-social-media-budget-may-june-2023-one-month-3300/34161): > > Guild: NEAR Native Community Guild; Region: CIS region and Eastern Europe; Numbers of team: 4 members in our team; Funding scheme: May, June.

Hey, I’m feeling frustrated about the delay in approving my proposal, especially when I see that other proposals with similar submission times have been approved already. I’m curious to know more about the review process and what factors are being considered, so that I can better understand how to improve my proposal or advocate for its approval. ---

Hello! It will be good to take note of what we mentioned in the charter. We only recommended proposals to [@marketingdao-council](https://gov.near.org/groups/marketingdao-council) for approval. They have the sole authority to approve, close or reject any proposal. Thanks, Thanks
