Dear @steemitblog

Another amazing initiative.

While the technology of the Communities feature is obviously important, it will in reality be the Community Leaders, and the people they gather round them, that will determine whether Communities are a success.

It's hard not to agree, that communities are only a took. Very important one, however still - just a tool. Empowering community leaders is definetly way to go if you want more communities on STEEM blockchain to flourish.

The delegations will start at 1000 SP and will increase as they continue to build their Communities.

That part left me just a bit speachless. 1000 SP delegation sounds more like marketing tool, than actual support which can make any community leader efforts more efficient. I'm afraid, that 1k SP cannot make much difference. Ever upvote with 100% voting power is kind of worthless.

Please don't take me wrong. I'm still supporting this idea - however I'm also trying to be realistic.

IMPORTANT QUESTION:
I'm managing project.hope community and our community received support in form of having an access to @ steemcurator06.

Our community has few leaders collaborating with each other (including me). Can our representatives apply as well for "Community Leader delegation"?

As a final point of clarification while we have nothing against people being actively involved in different platforms we are looking to give most reward to those focusing their efforts and their attention on Steem.

Very wise approach. Reward instead of punishing.

Have a great upcoming weekend,
Yours, Piotr
