Community Engagement DAO Onboarding: Education, support, community engagement, orientation pathways, to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for onboarding and entry into the DAO. Discord Moderation: Maintain a safe and inclusive environment by enforcing community guidelines and preventing disruptive behavior or harmful content. Community Pulse: Shift from monthly in-depth reporting on governance issues, to active monitoring and reporting of community sentiments, based on “Sentiment Analysis” polls conducted on a bi-monthly basis (once every two months). These polls will be designed to gauge community sentiment on a variety of issues, including but not limited to, strategic direction of the project, Core Unit performance, governance processes, transparency, and other areas of interest and/or concern. The results and main insights of the polls will be publicly shared. “Brick-by-Brick Builders Club”: Spotlight and facilitation of content creator community, hosted by Fractillians. Builders Club will provide Decentraland’s creator community with a forum and network for sharing of information, resources, and WIPs.

This includes identifying key stakeholders, defining decision criteria, facilitating discussions and consensus-building among group members. Request for Information (RFI): Serve as the Entries & Support Desk (ESD) to organize, prioritize, forward the questionnaires, and liaise with the Foundation technical areas, managing the pipeline for all RFIs and helping with their writing and feasibility. Legislative Tracker: Maintain the legislative tracker with up to date information to improve accessibility, engagement, transparency, communication, and compliance with the binding decisions made by the DAO. Facilitation Corner: Landing page/workspace that will serve as a comprehensive hub for team collaboration, access to documentation, and project management. The page will be divided into sections, each dedicated to a specific aspect of the DAO's operations.
