# Council/Trustee Report - William X [October - November 2023]

October brought about a series of events and challenges. Despite the recent two months proving to be challenging for CDAO, marked by changes and restructuring, it is noteworthy to highlight some of the main events we have collectively achieved at Creatives DAO.

**Oct-Nov contribution**

- **Funding review** :
  - _ **In October,** _ we have reviewed 10 community proposals and 4 partnership. From which Creatives DAO approved 3 community proposals (30%) & 4 partnership (100%) for NDC funding request. The House of Merit approved 2 proposals associated with NEARCON event. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to to come up with a common say with HOM. Please see the detail as follow:

- _ **In November,** _ we received 14 proposals. From which the councils decided to revise every individual proposal that align with NDC V1 priorities. Although this takes time and effort, we believe it is the best way to ensure the quality of individual projects that meet the requirements of the V0.5 proposal call.

Current HOM poll: [NEAR](https://near.org/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?page=dao&tab=proposals&daoId=congress-hom-v1.ndc-gwg.near&proposalId=21)

- **Community call:** Community calls were conducted on a needed-basis when there are important updates to be announced. We make sure CDAO community doesn’t miss out any important information.

- **NDC V1 proposal for grassroots funding:** We managed to work on our funding proposal for the NDC V1, where we stated clearer our goal & vision for the Creatives DAO, as well as our updates in funding practice to make sure captital will be distributed effectively.

- **Creatives DAO NDC V1 OKRs:** Complied in V1 proposal

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XsfmfAgDbiAt8t53PRvsfzlvuAmXdnCVhmmGEvFxQ-k/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XsfmfAgDbiAt8t53PRvsfzlvuAmXdnCVhmmGEvFxQ-k/edit?usp=sharing)

- **Internal Meetings:** Lost count. We spent extra effort on collectively communicate with HOM and the community, including weekends.

In addition to our designated tasks, we maintain an approachable stance for the community and devote our time to facilitate collective proposals. At NEARCON, Council members @Paul and @kc_sollano actively gathered valuable insights and feedback, laying the groundwork for the new chapter of Creatives DAO in NDC V1.

I invite the community to stand together in solidarity, and I extend my gratitude for your patience. While there are still numerous discussions ahead to ensure the development of high-quality proposals, I am confident that together we can overcome the difficulty that have persisted recently.

Thank you for reading!

Stay NEAR, stay Creatives!  
William X
