BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR RC-DAO FOR JULY, AUGUST, AND SEPTEMBER Regional communities are essential to the NEAR Ecosystem because they allow local developers, builders, and enthusiasts to connect and collaborate. These communities help to foster a sense of community and belonging, and they can also be an excellent resource for learning about the NEAR Ecosystem and getting involved in the ecosystem. Regional communities also play an essential role in helping to spread the word about the NEAR Ecosystem and its potential. By organising events, meetups, and hackathons, regional communities can help to introduce new people to the NEAR Ecosystem and its benefits. Overall, regional communities are an essential part of the NEAR Ecosystem ecosystem. They help to build a strong and vibrant community around the protocol, and they play a crucial role in spreading the word about NEAR and its potential. The Regional Community Working Group, as a part of the Marketing DAO constellation (NDC v0) , has been able to achieve a milestone, as mentioned in this post https://gov.near.org/t/report-rcwg-reports-for-april-june/35233 Given the number of communities we have under the RC-DAO (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YL1Ai0aK1v13IPrDYTXd36-nQTFm0GKaEUYVf76wvGI/edit#gid=156261642 ) so far and focusing on these (https://docs.google.com/document/d/182zLZJ-8xSuNZzgaGFQ7mKWrC0TGj_xPTYJ52Iv3N_0/edit ) activities as what can be funded, we propose a $30K Monthly fund from the Marketing DAO, which serves as the significant support at this time for the RC-DAO until V1 of the DAO comes live.
