This forum post serves as a structured feedback collection mechanism for the NEAR Infrastructure Committee, designed to:<ul class="list-node tight" data-tight="true"><li>Identify critical infrastructure gaps and pain points experienced by developers and users</li><li>Gather concrete evidence and examples of infrastructure challenges</li><li>Collect suggestions for potential solutions from community members</li><li>Understand how infrastructure issues are blocking progress in the ecosystem</li><li>Prioritize infrastructure needs based on community feedback</li><li>Identify potential teams or contributors who could address these challenges</li></ul>The feedback collected through this template will directly inform the Infrastructure Committee's decision-making process, helping to ensure that resources are allocated to the most impactful and urgent infrastructure needs. This community-driven approach strengthens the decentralized nature of infrastructure development on NEAR.All ecosystem participants are encouraged to submit their feedback using the template below, as your insights are invaluable in building a more robust and developer-friendly NEAR infrastructure.<h3 class="heading-node">About the NEAR Infrastructure Committee</h3>The NEAR Infrastructure Committee (IC) is a dedicated group within the NEAR ecosystem focused on strengthening the network's foundational infrastructure. By identifying critical gaps and pain points, the IC aims to decentralize decision-making, enhance essential infrastructure components, and streamline development efforts across the ecosystem. Through a transparent proposal and voting process, the committee identifies, funds, and supports high-impact projects that enable developers to build more efficiently on NEAR, ensuring resources are directed to the most crucial infrastructure needs.<h3 class="heading-node">Feedback Template</h3><h2 class="heading-node">1.
