With the processes implemented for Regional Communities, we are able to have all Communities create near social accounts, RC-DAO built-in widget which for the period of two months, is estimated to have generated more than 10,000 transactions overall.

All activities of Regional Communities can be tracked via this sheet. Also, IamHuman onboarding with Regional communities with 140 people verified with direct link and 275 from IamHuman score board. Making a total of 415 IamHuman verified from Regional Communities.

Also, a detail report for all Regional Communities’ June activities is found here

ROADBLOCKS

1. In the beginning of funding in April (for MAY), regional communities had a slow start to IamHuman verification as it took time to convince their communities of the benefit. However, with the introduction of the DAO council election, the speed has increased.
2. Delay in funding. Many Regional Communities complained of not receiving funds in time to help them push many activities that were scheduled. This led to cancellation of many activities.
3. New structure to KPIs. Due to the change of focus, many leaders did find it hard to get on track but the month of June was positive and we believe July will be better.

FUTURE PLANS

Based on the update released about KPIs for Regional Communities, the RCWG is focusing on providing funds for activities that involve only the following.

1. Product building on NEAR. This includes simple games, other products, and or building on BOS
2. BOS education/workshops to train developers, users
3. In real life events.
4. Practical workshops to educate usage of products on NEAR.

NOTE: Details coming soon on the full strategy and estimated budgets.

Thanks to @jlwaugh @Ola @Bakaka @kiskesis @Dk_51 @Dacha and @marketingdao-council for making these months possible. Preformatted text
