PolkaWorld’s initial vote is NAY.

1.The “Key Achievements” section lacks concrete data support. It would be helpful if the team could provide screenshots or other evidence of the results.

2.The Twitter and YouTube follower counts mentioned in the proposal appear to be inconsistent with actual numbers.

3.The budget is not sufficiently detailed. We recommend breaking it down further—for example, the cost per hackathon and how those funds will be allocated; for content creation, how many instructors are involved, how many lessons will be produced, how long the production will take, and the hourly rates; and for social media and operational costs, what exactly is included under those categories?

Positive note: PolkaWorld previously translated a video interview with Daniel Cukier by The Kus, and from that interview, we could clearly feel Daniel’s genuine passion for Web3 and Polkadot. We believe that kind of enthusiasm is rare—and powerful—because it inspires others.

We’ll continue to follow this proposal and hope the team can responds blow concerns.

Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Medium Spender track requires 50% quorum and simple majority of non-abstain voters according to our voting policy v0.2, and any referendum in which the majority of members vote abstain receives an abstain vote. This proposal has received three aye and three nay votes from ten available members, with four members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The referendum revealed mixed sentiments among voters regarding a proposal aimed at developing the Latin American market. While some expressed enthusiasm for the team's potential, concerns were raised about their focus on the Portuguese-speaking ecosystem, ambitious goals, and budget allocations. Many voters abstained, citing a lack of familiarity with the region and echoing the apprehensions of others. A few supported the initiative, highlighting the team's past achievements and urging a focus on project outcomes rather than participant numbers. Overall, the feedback reflected a cautious approach to the proposal.
