Nouns Weekly Call - US:
Prop 86: Pool together - link
A few votes against /w a lot of abstains so far
Lots don't know enough to have an opinion
Some uncertainty around dealing with legal
Prop 87: Vector DAO - link
How much are artists getting? - 80-90%
Excited to see more compelling artist interpretations
Thought that the initial proposal made more sense for the DAO - Will be discussing with legal implications of getting revenue back from proposals
Prop 85: Small grants refill - link
Would like to see a focus still on retro impacts
One of the most important things we can do is find ways to engage non-noun owners to continue growing the community outside of the context of ownership
Can be a pain with multi-sig transactions to do a high volume of grants
Should we have super small funds on trusted allocators?
If you see something really cool and nounish on twitter or discord, share it with small grants!
Nouns Sponsorship for Web3 NFT NYC Event - link
Our sponsorship would allow them to do a screening
No strong feelings either way
Discussion on ETH vs USDC/DAI for Proposal Funds
Market has caused proposals holding funds in ETH to be down
ETH is a volatile asset, people should know the risks of holding
Lesson learned and we need to look at current proposals case by case if there are concerns
Need to have education and awareness of ETH volatility and USD based coins like USDC and DAI that are alternatives
Can we have a pool of USDC to pay people that want stablecoins?
Should create the best possible user experience for proposers long term
Should we be hedging a portion of our funds into DAI/USDC beyond what we’d need for paying in proposals?
Mixed opinions
General consensus on 5% of treasury in USDC or DAI to use for proposals that would prefer that funding option
Free Glasses for Kids / Vision to Learn - link
Jawshua and 4156 had a good call
Second portion still feels expensive / biting off too much to combine
First portion would already be the most expensive proposal to-date
