## Chris Blec:

_"YES: This is a modest budget and it’s for a good cause. Raising DAI awareness in places where it can be useful is very important. As a caveat, due to the extreme existential threat posed by the PSM USDC, I would caution the Ambassador Program against evangelizing DAI in sanctioned regions such as Venezuela."_

## GFX Labs:

_"Vote Yes. Maker found some of its earliest adoption outside of the Anglophone world. All DeFi projects need more exposure to, and educational materials for, the non-English speaking population of the world. Particularly for stablecoins, some of the most compelling use cases are outside of the US and Commonwealth countries."_

## Penn Blockchain:

We voted YES: This is a great case of a really positive SPF for Maker. We think the Ambassador program will introduce Maker to thousands and thousands of more people in groups that have been traditionally underrepresented and focused on groups.

## Flipside:

_"We support the decision to allocate 81,000 DAI to the LatAm Ambassador Program as an experiment to lower the linguistic barrier to entry for Maker DAO. We hope that this leads to more involvement from top talent from around the world. In the future, we would like to explore other options for increasing participation. For instance a bounty system for Maker document translation."_

_"While we love seeing MakerDAO approach other regions outside the English speaking world, we see much too little viewers and participation on the current LatAm pages. If this doesn’t improve in the next six months, Flipside will not support this program going forward."_

## ACREInvest:

_"Yes: We desperately need to better engage more parts of the world. Doing so holds the unlock for many stated objectives and hopes within the community."_

## Mhonkasalo & Teemulau:

_"Yes, a good grassroots movement for a fair price. Also, the social media reach metrics are high enough to warrant the continuation of the Ambassador Program."_

## Llama:

_"We fully support this initiative of expanding the outreach to non-English speaking countries, and we hope this will subsequently have a great impact on DAI addoption."_

## Frontier Research:

_"An easy decision to support this initiative. As I have written about on the forum before, the LATAM community is a vital area of growth for Maker particularly where DAI can provide the real-world stability that a given fiat currency cannot. It has been great to see the growth of the Spanish-speaking Maker community."_

## CodeKnight:

_"Voted Yes. Small bets like this can have big payoffs and the LATAM community has a lot of potential for MakerDAO."_
