Hello everyone! One more week and the last updates from me: : During this week: 1. We had a great call with the @neardigitalcollective.near Trustees; 2. We agreed on October's funding for Marketing, Creative, and GWG DAOs in this transition v0.5 period. 3. Official [statement from NDC trust](https://near.org/s/p?a=ndctrust.near&b=103667334) 4. You can find the [GWG proposal here](https://gov.near.org/t/proposal-october-funding-proposal-gwg-to-hom-and-coa/36627) and join to discuss; 5. The House of Merit shared the CoA vision with MDAO & CDAO teams, so they can also start work with October's proposals pipeline. 6. You can find the Marketing (Eco) DAO announcement and [funding procedure here](https://t.me/ndc_marketing or https://gov.near.org/t/marketing-eco-dao-octobers-funding-round/36635). House of Merit members generally continue to work on the v1 budget. There are many things to brainstorm about the vision from CoA. On a Tuesday, we can present the budget for CoA and then for the Community to vote. So we can launch new DAOs and start the ball rolling. --- Some insides: 1. During the week, we had a HOM call where some members discussed their remuneration of 1000 + bonus, 2500 or 4000 more than an hour, delaying time and turning it into a show instead of focusing on Community needs and other essential questions. 2. Some are only interested in what is happening with the budget and have yet to desire to help with the routine tasks. 2. Whereas for many HOM members, NDC is a full-time job. And the workload will increase exponentially. Thanks to HOM members @mob.near, @odin.near, @kiskesis.near, @chloe.near, @Dk_51.near, @Rexus.near, @haenko.near, and @zavodil.near who dedicate themselves to the Community full-time. --- Grassroots initiatives: 1. Yesterday, we had a call with outstanding Near Eco contributors from [Women DAO 'She is NEAR'](https://twitter.com/sheisnear23/status/1715413663626998200), I'll be happy to support them in v1. 2. Furthermore, many conversations with Global DAO, Aurora, and Degens DAO. Next week, I will schedule calls with many DAOs to discuss their charters, new vision, and metrics from CoA. It will be my focus. 3. I am excited to see a lot of new contributors on Eco, which is only possible with NDC. Thanks, @Blaze.near, and the team, for making it happen. There are still many issues, but we're moving step by step in the right direction. If you have suggestions, questions, or claims, please feel free to email me at whendacha@gmail.com Big shout out to @fiatisabubble.near for the incredible help with communication between NDC and Near Foundation.
