On Behalf of Raymond Powell i request access to 210 dollars a week to pay for his living needs and provide for his children.

Ray is our lead technology director with 40 years of experience. The work he does is irreplaceable and would cost us tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to outsource.

Our current project focus is completing the action panel and voting ledger. The demo can be found here http://asc.ai/digital-governance-platform/demo

Thank you, Loved Ones, for taking the time to read this entry in it's entirely...

I am not sure how to make this a votable entry. When I asked Dakota why some requests were being put in the "ASC Voting" thread on Facebook, and others were being put here in Loomia, he responded that requests should be put both places.

When I reminded him that he had only made the post in Facebook, he responded that he was busy, and will get to it eventually. But he also told me that funds would start getting disbursed as soon as tomorrow.

So I feel a bit of a sense of urgency to see that the commitments made to me personally by Dakota are followed through upon. This sense of urgency is definitely bringing up a feeling that there is lack of clarity around what is happening here.

As I have shared on the other monetary related ideas put forth for voting, I will say again:

I feel it is not possible to make intelligent decisions of this nature without open access to the current cash on hand, and realistic future projected income. I don't think any cash should be spent until that happens. I am glad to contribute my time and energy to create an orderly financial plan.

With this position, I am not sure if I should abstain, or vote it down. If I were to vote it down, it is possibly only temporarily while we get a plan together. So I will not vote until I have clarity on which is most proper.

My gut tells me that things are happening much to quickly with all of this, without sufficient human connection between the parties involved.

I look forward to connecting with you all in a deeper way, and to taking time to make decisions that are for the highest good of everyone involved, and to all life on Earth.

In the meantime, I continue to devote a majority of my working hours each day towards the vision Dakota and I have created after 3 or 4 months of working together.
