Hello Creatives!

This was an amazing month. Learnt new things, made new friends and took on responsibilities and got opportunities that I have been waiting to work on. For that I’m thankful to all who trusted me.

Report:

- Hosting Creative DAO Community Meetings on Mondays
- Leading NCC - Near Certified Creatives and creating process flows, video calling professors and explaining the process to them, Creating process flows. Getting. Metaverse created for NCC with NearHub.
- Moderators DAO meeting every Monday at 17:30 UTC: This is dedicated to planning the future of Creatives through Updating Legal Status, Creating Domain, NCC & Kicking start NFT Market Place. Refer to the [detailed proposal here. 1](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-moderators-dao-introduction-and-proposal/22658)
- Creatives DAO workshops every Wednesday at 16:00 UTC: Dedicated to preparing documents, guidelines, metrics framework & material needed for future grant applications. We believe that those documents will help DAOs in improving their proposals, restructuring DAOs in a truly [sense of decentralization 1](http://gov.near.org/t/creatives-dao-decentralization-review-meeting/22642) & planning their activities in a way that brings even more benefit to the NEAR ecosystem.

- Reviewing creatives Proposals, communicating with the teams on the forum and in chat groups.

June was a productive month and full of new things to learn for me.

We’re working hard these last days of June to prepare a more comprehensive guideline for Creatives in July.

Looking forward to being bale to provide more value to NEAR.  
Cryptonaut

## May 2023

**Creatives DAO is now more of a constellation that has**

- a 90+ DAO community
- Is working on a community led accelerator
- Actively seeking partnerships to bring more creatives onboard
- Will be a partner with ETH Milan in October
- going to represent it communities via multi channel media outreach
- Looking to create its own products and services to help its existing community and onboard more creatives from outside of NEAR ecosystem.

As the journey of being an independent DAO has just begun and the responsibilities have only increased, as councils we have decided to divide responsibilities to be able to serve the community better.

From June onwards, I will be handling Partnerships, Media relations and Strategy for CDAO to ensure it gets more support from within and outside the ecosystem.

We are still working on the right work distribution to make sure the strengths of councils are utilised well and it benefits the larger ecosystem to its fullest.

## July Updates

We’re gearing up for a season of elections and we see a lot of confusion, collusion, adaptations and strife in the ecosystem.

Creatives DAO has been through its own journey of ups and downs in the past year.

Funding was paused a few months back leaving over 80+ communities stranded.

The resilience, will to make things work and get our community back to life allowed it to rise from ashes to become one of the biggest and most well structured DAO, getting its trust instrument live and being the first ecosystem DAO to get funded by NDC in a span of 3 months.

Now Creatives DAO is gearing up for bigger things.

## Eth Milan Title sponsor

There are over 35 people members coming to the event from over 10 nations to showcase their art and represent their community and NEAR at Eth Milan.

As of now, two groups, Curation and Production, are self organising and planning for the event.  
It’s beautiful to see how members have completely taken ownership of the event and are shaping the course of the event. My heartfelt gratitude for all the members taking lead on the project.

To join in the main action, join the Eth Milan Brain storm group.

> **[Join group chat on Telegram](https://t.me/+we7Y2Eu74KI4YTY9)**

## Creatives DAO Planet (Interim, not-so-Creative a name)

Old communities need one space where they can display their art, represent their communities more clearly (more like express the language of their communities) and engage with other communities from CDAO.

New communities need a space where they can learn about what is Creatives DAO, how can they join the movement, how can they grow a community and all the support they can receive, what is Creatives DAO and what are its communities doing?

To Solve this problem we are brainstorming about what solution can we built (or will it a be a cross of solution and service) that will

1. Help showcase our existing communities work
2. Attract, educate and seamlessly onboard new communities and artists.

The goal is

- Growth of creatives and communities for CDAO
- Seek out external funding mechanisms for diversified funds inflow.

I’m working on a draft and will soon be shared for community brainstorm that will highlight the overall plan.

## External Funding

As the size of community grows, so does a councils responsibility to ensure it’s community’s sustainability.

We do not ever want to be in a situation where a few people can dictate whether a community that has been building for over 2 years (Literally deserves an OG of OG community badge) can be put in a situation of not getting funded.

I have been actively seeking ways to diversify incoming funding streams to creatives DAO by Non Near players.  
We are seeing our first steps turning into something good which the community shall be updated very soon about.

Funding possibility from cross chain collaborations, government entities like UN or any other artist funding institutions and organisations like CDAO, lies in the alignment of vision, quality if execution and clarity of reporting.

We are trying to get all these right and yes, its a slow process, but when it works, it will make up for the time and energy spent by providing a longer runway and certainty the community needs to build, instead of just being in a limbo of funding being ceased the next month.

All in all, we are trying our best to ensure that the community has multiple streams of funding support to ensure our survival for years to come.

Thank you for reading the extra long precursor to my report.

Here is, what you cam here for, my report!

## Meetings

- NF community team for updates from NF and CDAO

- Call with Party Hunt, a ticketing app and Keypom team to seek SDK level integration for wallet activations and NFT ticket artwork minting. This will help CDAO reach their wallet activation goals and generate massive onchain transactions under CDAO umbrella.

- Horizon Meeting to understand how communities can participate in Horizon.

- Metacon UAE partnership meeting to explore synergies.

- Call with Defi Working group champions

- Call with Pagoda team to explore how Creatives can utilise BOS. More details once they launch a design components and program.

- Call with NFT WG to create a CDAO collection as a part of their “Collective” NFT collection. Unfortunately NFT WG wont be producing the project due to some internal problem.

- Near Foundation Content moderation discussion. How to make moderation on near better. As Xuan is an excellent product designer, i brainstormed about how we can create a better user experience for Creatives Planet (unofficial)

- Call with Regional expansion lead to discuss growth opportunities and current state of affairs.

- Call with Bakaka to discuss partnerships with Nigerian cultural exhibitions and how they can help bring in native art community to NEAR.

- Hosted Monday weekly community calls and started hosting the experience in NEARHub spaces  

- Weekly Tuesdays and Wednesdays office hours

- Managing various groups. Creatives DAO main telegram chat, Creatives DAO Social media group, Eth Milan brainstorm group, Eth milan curation group, Eth milan production group.

- Personal meetings with various ecosystem players for assisting in election campaign and ensuring CDAO is represented and funded as it is one of the most important DAOs of the ecosystem!!

There’s a lot more to do. Coming months are a testing time for all we have built till now and we’d need more community support than ever.

For every person reading, thanks for giving your time to learn about what CDAO is doing and as always, hope you keep building!!!
