  • Find venues where Stellar should be represented in this ecosystem, and represent or organize representation.
  • Proactively propose to the channel partner to publish landing pages and other material to educate the ecosystem on Stellar. As well as assess doing it ourselves (via SDF). 
  • Work with channel partners to monitor blockchain adoption by large institutions, including the major public and private banks within the US and abroad, and ensure the consulting firms and third parties working in these initiatives are on the right track regarding targets and use cases.
  • Set geographical priorities to the channel partners based on SDF strategy.
