No reports were published on my behalf since I got onboarded as a Creatives DAO moderator, and due to the difficulties I encountered during the first months of being onboarded, they never went online. Therefore, here are my monthly reports.
The latter portions of which will be utilized to compile a collective report for Creatives DAO.
It was our first month in this role. Although we are kind of familiar with the processes, experiencing them firsthand is still different. We had the chance to see how diverse we are when making decisions and verdicts, yet it also allowed us to see things from different points of view. Hectic is the right word to describe June, as we are managing our respective local communities while doing reviews and tasks, but challenges are what make it worth trying.
Actions:
Weekly syncs and immersions in the mods team
Introduction to the community
Weekly community calls
Weekly proposals review
Planning of Creatives DAO V.2 (Updating Legal Status, Creating Domain, NCC & Kicking start NFT Market Place) in which we plan to dry run some parts of it in Filipino Artists Guild this coming July
I am thankful for the trust and opportunity to work with these amazing people. Looking forward to bringing more value to the ecosystem!
We’re back after another month has passed! As we try to experiment and document the V.2 of Creatives DAO in my community, this month went a bit harsh on my side. Left and right internal challenges that took a tremendous toll on my well-being that lasted for a couple of weeks and affected my performance (where previous councils of my guild used gaslighting and spreading inaccurate, malicious information as much as they could about me). I was advised to create a report about it to disclose bad actors in the community, yet didn’t do so as I was tainted with compassion and distress.
This is also the final month with our ancestors (old moderators). As they share their knowledge with us, I am incredibly honored and humbled to work with them, and at the same time, I am motivated to work with the rest of the team to lead Creatives DAO during the future months!
Actions:
Participated in weekly mods and community calls
Tried trello for effortless review management so we can put more attention to other areas of Creatives DAO
Reviewed proposals
Advised several DAOs in the back end regarding community concerns and funding
Excited for what August can bring. Let’s get it on!
Here we are again, reaching another month stronger as a community! We received a humongous amount of proposals this month, and I must admit that the workflow is much better than the ones we had previously. I’m glad to say that Trello did wonders!
There’ve been a couple of internal deliberations with proposals, nonetheless, the approved ones are truly worthy.
We discussed proposals, held community calls, contacted former moderators, and arranged various events to boost Creatives DAO’s media exposure!
Each day we grew more confident being in this role. Looking forward to each day!
Together with the other mods, we qualified to represent Creatives DAO and its community at NEARCon this year. As we downsized the mods team a few months ago, approving proposals was indeed challenging as most of us were traveling, but we somehow made it through. We appreciate the patience you all gave us, and you all rock it!
We also met the old moderators and several key players in the ecosystem, from whom we gathered some insights. This is also the first time 171 studios were brought to the table and examined the possibilities of working together in the future.
We represented Creatives DAO at quests outside NEARCon, where we saw firsthand how Creatives DAO-funded initiatives are operating in real life. I was astounded! If we are just able to attend these events and realize how much it impacts the mass adoption campaign through creative highlights, you’ll probably think the same! We are not limited to on-chain transactions!
While attending events, the moderators hosted the community call together. With the 4 of us (Blua, Sahil, me, and Will. Paul wasn’t with us for NEARCon 2022), we’re able to sync our thoughts and strategies on a personal level, even reviewing some of the proposals together. We also had a chance to strengthen the bond of Creatives DAO to the ecosystem’s community verticals, and I hope this is a start of a good collaboration.
NEARCon 2022 introduced us to the experience of meeting projects and people together. Honestly am quite anxious about how the remaining days will unfold, yet optimistic.
Thank you for once again showing us the community’s support!
Since NEARCon ended, things have swayed. Temporary halting of funding was announced, there’ve been sleepless nights to deliberate proposals on how we can move forward (which were both presented in the forum), and internal conflicts as we navigate the restructuring processes. Respective proposals had faced some resistance and feedback from various community contributors, which were also used to fine tune them.
Actions:
Internal meeting with the mods to calibrate recommendations to the respective proposals of moving forward with the spirit of decentralization and sustainability
Meetings with NF representative, 171 Studios and Funding team
Attended to community queries
Love and light,

This report will be used to request a remuneration of $4000 for the two months of the CreativesDAO Moderation role.
Hope you all celebrated the holidays well, and wishing you a prosperous 2023! Another year of us being together - IMAGINE! The mods team is greatly humbled by all of your support and for standing with us during difficult times. Rest assured, we are making great efforts to ensure that the funding resumes with much alignment with NF Goals and to contribute to the goal of onboarding 1B users to the ecosystem!
Actions:
Meeting with the Web Developer to discuss works and expectations
Attending collective twitter spaces to show the community our support towards their causes
Internal deliberations of funding proposal and revisions
Mods team weekly calls (catching up with current affairs and how it can affect Creatives DAO, strategizing)
NF meetings
Ongoing highlight creation for the website
Reaching out to assist members experiencing unpleasant scenarios in the ecosystem
Hold on tight, we’re about to enter the most exciting part!
Love and light,

Hey, Dacha! We’ve been in contact primarily with Shreyas and Osaze. We are also in touch with several from funding team.
Aside from NEAR, all the things we are doing are for the community. Once the funding resumed, we can once again support the community with their initiatives. Yet even at this moment, Creatives DAO mods are giving their support to the collective be it moral or other aspect aside from funding.
How have you been? I hope you all are doing well! February was a productive month with a lot of things accomplished. Was able to represent Creatives DAO in some local events and create partnerships that might help us with the ongoing campaign of 1 billion users! This month I also stepped down with DAOs I counseled to put more emphasis on Creatives DAO development aside of it being a conflict of interest if I stay.
Actions:
Assisting community calls, distribution and creation of POAPs
External and internal meetings, which involve guidelines, legal matters, the website, community calls, syncing with a person who has visions and propositions regrading the Creatives DAO structure, and keeping weekly sync with NF’s representative.
