[RCWG UPDATE] CreativesDAO Support for Regional Communities

Hello Regional Community Leaders!

It’s time for another exciting update from the RCWG for us all. Firstly, check out the first update for this week.

[Weekly Update] Regional Communities 15/05/2023 NDC

Hello GREAT Regional Community Leaders! We bring you updates for this week. Following the proposals received for the month of May and the actions that followed after, we encourage Leaders of Regional Communities to be at weekly calls for proper updates and learn how to use tools provided. For those with their proposals already approved, be mindful of the tracking sheet as it serves as a record for your weekly activities. (REGIONAL COMMUNITIES TRACKING SHEET - Google Sheets) Also, we call on…

As we have all known, the MDAO has supported Regional Activities since we revamped and now it’s time to open the doors wide again.

We bring you this latest update as shared by the CreativesDAO regarding their support for Regional Activities as found here http://gov.near.org/t/ndc-funding-request-creatives-dao-april-may-2023/34559

Given this, we call on Regional communities to continue sending proposals as the doors are wider now to accommodate more submissions in a month.

This Funding Support from CDAO will be used by the RCWG Operational Activities and Fund community proposals which are not limited to creative activities proposals

Regional Communities can now include creative-related activities in their proposals as there is a $40k support from CDAO for Regional Communities.

A few things to note.

1. Processes for Regional Communities must be followed as contained in this document PROCESSES FOR REGIONAL COMMUNITIES - Google Docs
2. Communities will have to use the onboarding form for IamHuman to help us keep check https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScxC17jPJd4eCZz_Fc7lB7dKSDgEPxvett6EhjajcvFfTBKEA/viewform?pli=1&pli=1&edit_requested=true&pli=1
3. As this is a revamp and a test run, community proposals are not supposed to be more than $2k monthly. For a case of an offline event, proposals can be more than $2k but MUST be submitted two months before time for adequate sync.
4. Proposals are to be submitted from now till the 25th of May, 2023 to allow those in charge go through proposals concisely.
5. Attending Weekly Community calls is COMPULSORY for Leaders of Regional Communities. Zoom link found here Launch Meeting - Zoom. The first call is by 1 PM UTC for those within the Asian Region and 4 PM UTC for those from other regions. However, you can join any of the times as it is convenient for you. Calls are every Wednesday.
6. The core focus of the RCWG is to see communities have activities that get around NEAR bOS, and IamHuman. This has to do with getting builders, getting users to use the cool products we have, etc.
7. The regional Communities event tracking sheet is compulsory for all communities to fill. REGIONAL COMMUNITIES TRACKING SHEET - Google Sheets

NOTE: FOR PROPOSALS THAT COULD NOT BE ATTENDED TO BY MDAO IN APRIL DUE TO LIMITED FUNDS, RCWG WILL UTILIZE THE CDAO FUNDS TO SETTLE THOSE PROPOSALS AND THOSE COMING IN

Thanks for building NEAR all these years. You all are the bOS!

May the bOS’s force be NEAR you

Special thanks to @creativesdao-council, @Bakaka @Ola @jlwaugh @kiskesis and everyone for pushing this through.

Hey @IgbozeIsrael, thanks for your suggestion. What would be considered a creative activity for a regional community? Maybe I just missed it, but is there a list for this?

We’ve had a collective group chat with CDAO, RCDAO, NF mods, GWG and MDAO.

Collectively we came to a consensus that CDAO will take the line items for RCWG out for April and May as some proposals were funded by MDAO and they will handle April and May funding for them through NF treasury.

Again, Thank you guys for stepping up to support when it looked bleaked.

Looking forward to future supports and collaboration from @creativesdao-council

Thank you guys, we truly appreciate your support.
