DOT Amount: 450 DOT
Hello, Polkadot community,
Following my recent trip to Miami for the Inter Miami match day and digital infrastructure evaluation, I am submitting this proposal to request reimbursement for travel expenses and a tip for the effort in the detailed community report published on April 25, 2024. Community Report:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="644#k3TREFthRB4rU0Bmn0GL">https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/644#k3TREFthRB4rU0Bmn0GL</a> The insights from this trip are crucial for the proposed partnership with Inter Miami CF and could greatly enhance Polkadot's visibility and application in sports industries.
The primary objectives of the Miami trip were to:
Evaluate the digital engagement strategies at Inter Miami CF's stadium. Understand fan interactions with digital technologies, especially QR codes. Assess the potential for integrating Polkadot's blockchain technology to enhance fan experiences and operational efficiencies. 
Insights and Findings During the trip: I observed significant engagement of fans with digital technologies that streamline their experience from food orders to feedback submissions. The ease of QR code usage among the fan base presents an excellent opportunity for introducing blockchain-driven innovations such as digital collectibles and secure ticketing.
Community Report Summary: The community report detailed Polkadot's technology's potential applications in the sports industry, focusing on enhancing fan engagement through digital collectibles, secure ticketing, and a blockchain-driven loyalty program. It emphasized education and awareness of blockchain technology as pivotal elements of the partnership. 
Here's the proposed initial development route for this partnership, which I designed in cooperation with Sean and Nico. It is inclusive and follows community expectations, and we suggest it unfolds in phases.

Airfare: $1200 &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XlRUR7C2kHlfgyo5GAc_wSIODpiVVcXJ/view?usp=drive_link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XlRUR7C2kHlfgyo5GAc_wSIODpiVVcXJ/view?usp=drive_link</a>
Accomodation: $670 &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Va62zEkAz5bNQKbIzNIoQGbD_mVUFrtk/view?usp=drive_link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Va62zEkAz5bNQKbIzNIoQGbD_mVUFrtk/view?usp=drive_link</a> (Only half of the accommodation price is going to be reimbursed as I took a slightly better hotel to be close to the beach and meeting place, and the median price for the accommodation was $665 for the dates)
Additional Tip: $1200 Given the extensive effort and time invested in gathering data, attending the event, and compiling the detailed community report, a tip is also requested for the work performed beyond typical responsibilities.
Total reimbursement requested amount: 450 DOT Reimbursed DOT will be bonded for staking on my Stakenode Validator Node to strengthen my "Skin in the game": 14MKRNHaJY2yC84SkW7oXhnzVdV3obogoH5s8H4AkzxaFmAS The insights gained from this trip are instrumental for successfully implementing Polkadot's technologies in a high-engagement environment like sports and a precise Inter Miami x Polkadot partnership. This partnership with Inter Miami CF represents a strategic opportunity to leverage and showcase the capabilities of the Polkadot ecosystem in a high-visibility, consumer-facing setting. The insights gained from the Miami trip underscore the potential for blockchain to significantly enhance fan experiences and operational efficiencies within the sports industry.
I look forward to your support and approval for this reimbursement request and the exciting steps ahead in our collaboration with Inter Miami CF.
Thank you for considering this proposal.
Best regards, Jimmy

This is a retroactive proposal for the creation of the RegionX Corehub parachain dashboard, a user-friendly interface designed to simplify the deployment and management of parachains on the Polkadot network. The dashboard provides tools for Coretime procurement, parachain ID reservation, and registration, making the transition from the legacy slot auction model to the Coretime model seamless. Key features include monitoring Coretime expiry, facilitating renewals, and displaying the state of parachains.
