# Monthly Activity Report of the Decentralized Climate Foundation A.C. April 2023. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Hc9JjRZ.png) **5th of May, 2023.** :::info #### Table of Contents. [TOC] ::: ## :beginner: Introduction. This monthly report aims to provide an overview of the activities, projects, and finances of the Decentralized Climate Foundation A.C. Through this document, we seek to inform our members and collaborators about the achievements and challenges we have encountered during the month. Additionally, we aim to provide transparency and accountability regarding the use of resources and progress towards our long-term goals. This report includes details about the activities carried out, the status of ongoing projects, a financial analysis, and future planning. ## 📈 Activities carried out. The activities for the month of March were divided into 4 main divisions, which are further subdivided into specific tasks, as follows: ### **CLUNI.** **Throughout the month of April.** Efforts were made to follow up with the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT) regarding the registration process of the DECA 2.0 project for the scholarship and fiscal incentives program offered by the institution. The aim is for the foundation to become a beneficiary of this project and be able to develop it optimally. Emails were sent to continue the process, as it was initiated by the previous administration under the leadership of former Director Luis Alberto Saavedra, but was left incomplete. The new administration has taken it up and is working on its completion. ### **R&D Phase 1 DAO.** **17th of April.** A fork of the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) was carried out with the purpose of creating a customized template for the foundation's own improvement proposals, called Decentralized Climate Improvement Proposal (DCIP). This was done directly on the foundation's GitHub page. The activity involved the board member and the student intern participating in the foundation. ![](https://i.imgur.com/laeawI5.png) Img. 1. Decentralized Climate Improvement Proposal Page. The GitHub page of the foundation can be found in Annex 1. The Ethereum Improvement Proposal can be found in Annex 2. ### **Administration.** **From April 10 onwards:** The tasks of searching for new spaces for the Decentralized Climate Foundation have begun, aiming to migrate its operations as the current lease agreement, established since 2022, is nearing its end. Locations are being sought for the relocation of operations. During a board meeting, it was determined that the best decision for the Foundation is to hire the services of companies offering Virtual Offices. These services present significant operational and administrative advantages to the Foundation, as they offer more affordable costs compared to the current facilities. The president of the Foundation is responsible for conducting the search and managing the process to find the best location for the Association. ![](https://i.imgur.com/MrS03Xb.png) Img. 2.

The two main developers of the foundation actively participate in these activities. As a noteworthy mention of these regular tasks, it is worth highlighting the training provided to Treasurer Mr. Alfonso Navarro Nuñez by Board Member David E. Perez. This training aimed to help Mr. Navarro Nuñez understand the technological infrastructure and enable him to utilize it effectively. ## :moneybag: Finance.

In this section, we showcase the work we are currently involved in. Currently, we are working with the First Social Service interns who are assisting us in documenting the organization's internal processes. They have successfully completed various courses and workshops aimed at understanding the internal processes of the DCF, enabling them to maintain the technological infrastructure in optimal condition and take on additional responsibilities. They have attended courses and workshops on Git and version control in Github, Gitflow, as well as learning about Web3, IPFS, and other tools. Finances remain a sensitive topic, and the esteemed Board of Directors continues to work towards expediting the governmental procedures that the Foundation is currently undertaking. ## :pencil:Goals and future objectives. The Foundation has a set of projects and goals it aims to achieve in the coming years. One of these is the DECA 2 initiative, which focuses on modernizing diagrams and documents to meet CONACyT standards. This project involves removing carbon credits from cryptocurrency processes, reviewing MVP information, updating the working model between NSI and the Foundation, and establishing a formal agreement between DCF and NSI. Currently, the Foundation is carrying out the IHS MVP project, conducting research to gather the necessary information for its development. The Foundation is currently focused on exploring various funding possibilities, two of which include the CLUNI government program and the CONACyT scholarship. While both options involve government agencies, they differ in their respective procedures. The Foundation intends to utilize these options to gain access to resources for technological advancement and overall operations. The Foundation has several upcoming projects that have been planned for the future and intends to execute in the coming months. ## 🎯 Conclusions and recommendations. In summary, during the month of April, we made significant progress towards achieving the platform's objectives. We conducted fundraising activities and identified opportunities to improve our internal governance. Additionally, we organized and updated our donor database. Regarding recommendations, we believe it is important to continue seeking funding to finance ongoing projects and improve resource management efficiency to maximize their impact. Furthermore, we recommend continuing to update and organize the sponsor database, which will help establish a more productive and long-lasting relationship with our collaborators. In conclusion, we believe that our platform has been very successful this month, and we are confident that by following these recommendations, we can achieve our short-term and long-term goals. ## :beginner:Annexes 1. https://gitlab.com/DECENTRALIZEDCLIMATE 2. https://eips.ethereum.org/ 3. https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/ 4. https://oficinasvirtualescdmx.mx/ 5. https://cityoffice.com.mx/ 6. https://www.regus.com/es-mx/virtual-offices 7. https://oficinasvirtualescdmx.mx/ 8. https://www.oficina24.com/mx/180/oficinasVirtuales 9. https://nextcloud.neetsec.com/index.php/s/8kGMe4js7aWKos9 10. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yVI6Or9uSjHt1IA36TW1M3L5BDkhwP2yl2dp_g8eOuw/edit?pli=1#gid=1414309613 Created by Omar Octavio Huerta Valdez.
