Nouncil
Nouncil: (noun) A special council of Nounish BUIDLers and project leaders working within the framework of NounsDAO to proliferate cc0 and nounish culture.
Nouncil’s first proposal is now on-chain!
(After some issues.. yea Joel, you know what I’m talking about…)
Nouncil Call Notes - link.
9999: Prop Builders Council (Pouncil?) - link
form a group of builders to incentivize them to stick around by delegating/giving out a noun to this group
maybe builders could be joining the nouncil (some are now)
Prop 59 - rescue toadz
we have unfortunatelly missed a vote, it wouldnt change anything though (we wouldve voted Against and the proposal was defeated anyway)
updating voting period to 60 hrs instead of 72 so we have more time to execute
Nouncil’s First Proposal
positive responses from nouners
some ppl not too stoked about the gallery, maybe we should leave it out for now - needs small updates and then its ready to go on-chain
Grants leadership team
creating a team to help coordinate the Nouncil Grants program - Joel, Maty, Toady
PropHouse Rank Ballot, Discussion.
Wag: Retroactive Fund Proposal Discussion - link
noone is against running this as nouncil - will be looking for people to help administrating
Proposal 61: CDT Residency Discussion
Proposal 62: Prop House Continuation Discussion
Marketing Pod Discourse Discussion (Noun 142)
Discourse: Retro Gaming Proposal (Cyber49)
Follow up: Admin Help requested (Joel) Note taking for meetings, data entry for votes.
Nouncil now votes with six delegated nouns, you can check them out here.

Nouns Stories
Nouner section
Gami talking about his NFT NYC plans - Discord link.
Interesting info about voter turnout - Discord link.
Diligence report on Proposal 58 by solimander - GitHub link.
Nouns Weekly Call - US: link.
Nouns CC0 Stories - link
Pretty diverse group, looking forward to it
We could cut it down to 5 and make another prop
Prop 57 Luxury Glasses - Retro
Will we see an uptick in requesting nouns?
Providing a noun vs additional ETH
proposal was floated to multiple people getting feedback (without a noun), and then a Noun was added on afterward and put directly on-chain
I would prefer more longer-term milestones, it is easy to deliver 1 pair of glasses - would have liked to see a higher impact milestone for the noun
Nouns Snapshot Page
Create a snapshot strategy that respects delegation
Could help with signaling process and reduce confusion / last-second defeats
Could get the voting functionality from snapshot (weighted, quad, ect)
If we enforce a convention where we vote down things that dont have prior consensus, could be problematic
If we centralize governance in a centralized forum, can be difficult to overcome that momentum
Esports pod - link
Sasquatch - ex pro gamer, active SharkDAO community member
Dota 2 has a hardcore fan base and one of the biggest prize pools yearly with “The International” tournament
Assets for players during streaming, tournaments
Players put sponsor tag in their name and its shown on streams (⌐◨-◨)
Could lead to sponsoring other players/teams in other games
Nouncil Proposal 1 - link
Funding for - Retroactive operating costs, Q2 operating costs, Nouncil Community Grant Pilot, Nounish Galleries v0.1
Should we have any rules for the funding? - So far thinking no spending the funds on cryptocurrency / NFTs
Prop House - link
great engagement and participation
Nounders: is the every 10th Noun reward for project creation or an on-going comp? - Nounders have a vested interest in making nouns more valuable, but feel we should compensate them for additional work/proposals like this prop house initiative that seneca is driving - Nounders each get 1% over the first 5 years
CDT Residency -link
Has been a valuable builder and contributor to the community
Veto Prop - link
Created after a discussion in discord
Foundation is actively discussing what makes the most sense
General Tidbits
Could be valuable to have a list of how much everyone been compensated by the DAO over time - provide insights as we look to future compensation to identify if members have been under/overpaid
Nouns Weekly Call - International:
Call has been hosted in public voice channel, no notes though.
