Hello family! This is my application to be Council for RC DAO Here the forum post: https://gov.near.org/t/proposal-application-to-be-council-for-rc-dao/35088 I’m a big believer in DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) had the pleasure to learn from James Waugh when I joined NEAR and I think we are in line with the idea that DAOs are the way to build a better society. I had a great time collaborating with the Near Community in the past and I’m excited to keep working with them now that we have all the tools and rules we need for a successful paradigm shift. Let’s do this! NEAR [Regional Community Working Group](https://near.social/#/mob.near/widget/ProfilePage?accountId=rc-dao.near) DAO Council Member Self-Nomination Process. My NEAR social post: https://social.near.page/p/fritzwagner.near/95117851 I would like to represent the NEAR Hispanic community (revamp NEAR HISPANO) and apply for the position of RC DAO Council Member. ## 1. About me I am Fritz Wagner, Production Engineer with 8 years of experience in the Blockchain Space. [My presentation a year ago here in the forum.](https://gov.near.org/t/forum-meeting-near-venezuela-members/13658/2?u=fritzworm) My main contributions for the whole community where by participating as member of the Concierge Team and Creatives DAO moderators, where I had the pleasure to work with KriptoRaptor HaiVu Kemal rahulgoel007 adrianseneca zubairansari07 kc_sollano and many others but the forum has a maximun taggin hehe =). I’m currently looking to evolve my own dApp on NEAR called [NearP2P](https://www.nearp2p.com) is on mainnet, and teaching blockchain classes to newcomers at “Tecnologia Financiera,” an educational institution. You can find more information about it here on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tecnologiafinanciera/) or [Website](https://www.tecnologiafinanciera.com). ## 2. Why should people vote for me I have long proven my passion around on-chain community building. I collaborated with the NEAR Ecosystem growth by launch my own web3 project and by participating in several different initiatives where I filled different roles from contributor to leading roles, such as: OWS, Meta Pool, [TenkBay](https://gov.near.org/t/closed-tenk-bay-website-management-twitter-spaces-report/15607/4?u=fritzworm), [CreativesDAO](https://gov.near.org/t/report-creatives-dao-moderator-february-march-april-may-june/15778/10?u=fritzworm), **Near Hispano**, [Merchants Guild](https://gov.near.org/t/approved-merchants-of-near-2022/20273?u=fritzworm), **Community DAO**. In addition, I was part of the [ProjectOps Sub-Team](https://gov.near.org/t/report-project-ops-q1-q2/24892?u=fritzworm) where my priority focus was on NFT projects to which we provided full assistance, support to get grants, and connecting with Venture Capitals. I had the honor of been featured in our NEAR governance forum in the 2021 and 2022 the Year in Review, and awarded with 3 gold badges. I believe the "Most Replied to" highlight and "Most Likes Received" are worth to mention. * Badges: 36 * Network Use: 13480 transactions I own more wallets =) just fritzwagner.near can prove great stats record.

I’m excited to be part of this! ## 3. Strategy to develop regional communities To develop the NEAR regional Hispanic community, I propose a strategy that includes committed KPIs from each regional community with on-chain evidence, active education programs, and attracting new projects to build on the NEAR ecosystem. This will help us build a strong and vibrant community that can contribute to the growth of NEAR and help us achieve our goals. With my experience at Near University, Near Hispano, Near Community, Creatives DAO, Near Venezuela and the Concierge Team I can outline the following process: 1. Lead a team committed to the growth of the region 2. Focus on Education, Events and Collaborations with university student centers 3. Present incentives for the development and active participation in the growth of dApps 4. Provide Advisory, tutoring, and consulting for the development of web3 projects on NEAR and the application of marketing on them. 5. Build a Hub from where to accelerate projects from the Hispanic American Community We have been walking here already, as the Near Hispano Team already existed and presented a great project for the LATAM hub with the lead of claudioac ### Direct answers: 1.
