[REJECTED] NEAR Colombia DAO March 2024

Introduction

NEAR Colombia aims to increase the adoption of the NEAR protocol ecosystem for the benefit of the ecosystem and the diverse communities around the technology and blockchain sector. This will be achieved through educational activities, community building and support for local NEAR projects.

Colombia ranks third in Spanish-speaking Latin America, after Argentina and Mexico, in Chainalysis 2023’s Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index. It has a dynamic technology industry and important communities around it that have the enthusiasm and potential for adoption and/or development in Near Protocol, contributing to its ecosystem.

NEAR Colombia aims to train people and technology communities of interest in the Colombian territory, to learn, adopt and know the full potential of NEAR’s blockchain technology and its current strategic partners.

A community in Colombia will allow greater proximity to the different communities and cultures that exist in the country to adopt NEAR Protocol technologies, this will allow onboarding more users, developers and contribute to the growth of NEAR, resulting in new innovative solutions and use cases in Near Protocol.

Hello @anmatig,
Thanks for your proposal.

This seems to be incomplete, lot of boxes are not filled.
No plans, no strategy, no goals, no budget.

I would suggest you to revise your Proposal. Please introduce your team and their previous track record, your strategies to reach our KPIs, budget breakdown & more. For reference you can have a look on proposals from other regional guilds. For example: Near Turkey Proposal

Also, if you still face any difficulties here. Feel free to reach out on Telegram so that we can assist properly on this. Here is our Telegram chat: Near Globe DAO TG Chat

Hi @iamanansari,

I had to correct some things I had initially put in. I just put more information if you need anything else you tell me.

This is a well-written proposal showcasing the resilient and excellent Near project. I strongly believe promoting it presents a valuable opportunity due to the comprehensive plan you’ve outlined, encompassing aspects like community, education, hackathons, and social media engagement.

Hi @anmatig

We already have a Latam community. I want to understand what additional value Colombia would bring to NEAR.
Unfortunately, your socials are not very active and I don’t see much engagement there.
Due to limited funds, I cannot support your proposal at this time, but I am ready to introduce you to Latam leaders to work with them. Later, when we feel the need to have Colombia as an own community, we can think about it again.

Thank you.

Hello again,

Thanks for revision, I appreciate your proposal, but as Cizi mentioned we currently have a established Latam community. So considering expansion for new communities from the region is tough for us. So, I would also suggest you to collab with the existing community.

Hope you understand.

I see you’re quite active in the Metapool community, that’s great! However, building a new community certainly requires a track record and a solid team.

My suggestion is that in the next 1-2 months, you start preparing everything, showing significant results to be recognized and worthy.

For now, I’m sorry I can’t support.
