Description
The Decentraland Community Ambassadors Program is an initiative designed to empower passionate and dedicated members of the Decentraland community to play a fundamental role in driving community engagement, fostering real-world connections, and promoting the Decentraland project globally. These ambassadors will be entrusted with organizing and leading IRL meetups, hackathons, talks, and other events, with the official support of the Decentraland Foundation and the Decentraland DAO. Program Objectives: Community Empowerment: The primary aim of the program is to empower community members, giving them a platform and a framework to actively contribute to the growth and development of the Decentraland ecosystem. Global Outreach: Through diverse and geographically distributed ambassadors, the program seeks to expand the reach of Decentraland, creating a vibrant and inclusive global community. Real-World Connections: By facilitating in-person events and meetups, the program aims to strengthen real-world connections among community members, fostering collaboration and shared experiences. Enhanced Communication: Ambassadors will act as effective communicators, disseminating important information, updates, and announcements to their local communities and beyond. The funding for this project is estimated at USD 60k. It is important to mention that this is a pilot version that could grow in the future based on the outcomes of the program As a signal of commitment, **the Decentraland Foundation will provide 50% of the budget, and the DAO via their Grants program will provide the other 50%.**
Hello everyone, just confirming that the grant has been successfully completed. They have fulfilled the last requirements, and you can see the metrics and results in their Public Roadmap - Impact Metrics [link](https://dcl-dao.notion.site/346f246fbfed4e6fb152ba1932828c38?v=a2d3eed4434c434ba95dbb18ea2b7035&pvs=4).

Decentraland Ambassador's Program This proposal has been ENACTED by a DAO Committee Member (0x88013d7ed946dd8292268a6ff69165a97a89a639) Vesting Contract Addresses: 0x77ee79546B63D1ff7F17131bBea3c6Ed27f41d2e
Hello DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk), as you can see in the [update #6](https://decentraland.org/governance/update/?id=0a9317e4-4689-11ee-9cfb-8be6460f98c9&proposalId=55a85fd0-3539-11ee-a39d-ef9ca9e669fd), the team explains the reasons for the delay and confirms new project completion dates. This information has already been updated in the [public roadmap](https://www.notion.so/dcl-dao/346f246fbfed4e6fb152ba1932828c38?v=a2d3eed4434c434ba95dbb18ea2b7035&pvs=4). Consequently, after 2 months of this contract being paused, we ask you the following: 1. Revoke the existing contract 2. Create a new contract lasting 3 months, starting on February 17th. This way, the team will have funds available on mid March, mid April and mid May, the date by which they commit to completing the project execution. cc: @KimboNFT @ginoct @Canessa Thanks!
Hello DAO Committee @HPrivakos @rizk @Tobik , I just wanted to mention the request for this grant in its [update #3](https://decentraland.org/governance/update/?id=0a9317e1-4689-11ee-9cfb-8be6460f98c9&proposalId=55a85fd0-3539-11ee-a39d-ef9ca9e669fd#:~:text=we%20are%20requesting%20a%20pause%20in%20the%20funding%20of%20this%20grant%20to%20ensure%20that%20all%20milestones%20are%20being%20met%20in%20a%20timely%20manner). Following the discussion in the last meeting with the GSS, there is a request to temporarily pause the funding for this grant. Thanks!
[quote="dao, post:1, topic:20160"] As a signal of commitment, **the Decentraland Foundation will provide 50% of the budget, and the DAO via their Grants program will provide the other 50%.** [/quote] Can we see that transaction? When the DAO voted a grant to join the Blender Fund, the Foundation said [they joined the effort by matching the DAO donation](https://decentraland.org/blog/announcement/blender-development-fund#:~:text=The%20Decentraland%20Foundation%2C%20the%20non%2Dprofit%20organization%20supporting%20the%20development%20of%20the%20Decentraland%20platform%2C%20joined%20the%20effort%20by%20matching%20the%20DAO%E2%80%99s%20original%20donation) then once it was time to pay, they backtracked and say they would not do it anymore. (In the end, the Foundation paid a year of Blender **Corporate Gold** membership, 4 times cheaper than the Corporate Patron membership the DAO funded, not complaining, that's still amazing.) It'd be really good to see the share of the Foundation in this project secured in a dedicated wallet/vesting contract.
Hi @olis! Thank you for your interest in the Ambassador's Program! The open call is now closed for this first round of applicants, but we are excited to see this program grow, and anticipate multiple rounds of open calls in the future. If there are ways for people to get involved in the meantime, I will definitely be reaching out to those who show a passion for our platform! Kindly, Canessa

 Ambassador Program dates back to 2020. It was on the Trello 2020 & Beyond Roadmap. For some reason it got archived & 3 years later re-surfaced again. Better late than never. :grinning:
Really like this idea. I'm surprised there wasn't already such a program running. This is definitely a good way to expand Decentraland's reach to a much wider audience, increasing the platform's footprint and awareness to other countries globally. I am keen to apply for this when the opportunity arises.
Wow, @Tobik, for someone who's made a name for himself by joking and teasing, you seem to miss the mark on humor and don't seem to listen well. I shouldn't have to spell out the obvious, but I am curious about what drives you here in Decentraland. As you know, we as a community are struggling to get our messages across. Why not return to YouTube and help bring more people into the fold?
I don't own a car and I have never owned one. Also, stop being disrespectful with me, mostly on places that have nothing to do and are for discussing real ideas.
I think that is enough to buy @Tobiks car off of him; " tacky yellow Lamborghini " he tweeted we all made him rich, and he wanted to thank all of us; he is such a nice guy!
I might consider 100 ETH :grinning:
Damn this could be really fun.
Aren't we ambassadors already? :blush: Ofc, good idea to fund for having more impact
voting yes based on community sentiment. would like to see the irl events targeted toward developers.
This is exciting. I've been wanting to have micro meetups across the globe for awhile now. It's been talked about in the CBD discord as well with a potential DCL event IRL someday too. The foundation contributing to this as well is awesome and appreciated. Thank you.
