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 Call Notes
Nouncil Permissionless Grant Update
nouncillors should fill out the document and outline what they plan to work on and if they are open to being delegated more funds
what should we do with un-allocated money if there is any?
should we delegate to a pool and then vote what do to with the whole pool or do we force people to delegate to a specific project
General Discussion About Nouncil Size. Possible forward-looking solutions.
should there be a limit for nouncil’s size? - probably not for now
adding more nouncil channels, especially for discussion around proposals would be nice
do we stick to “1 member per project”?
Secondary Nouncil Call for APAC.
a vote live in nouns-votes, only nouncilors in Asian timezones to vote
Doowop Discourse Proposal (Nouns IRL Art Tour) - link
ask seems high, could we get a breakdown of the costs? how much does the artist ask?
is the artist “part of the proposal” or is this just a commission?
Any other Props on Discourse for Discussion?
Nouncil Token
Prop House Reminder to review over the next week, voting will be next week for this round.
Lil Nouns Nouns delegation
would we want lil nouns delegated to us? what is the benefit for us?
lot of work
consensus seems to be that at this point we wouldn't want to take on this work
received NFTs have value, but would we be selling them? giving away?
might be too early, we need to “prove ourselves” first, execute what we set out to do
All Noucil call notes can be found here.
Nouncil now votes with ten delegated nouns, you can check them out here.
Projects
FOMO Nouns
We are now able to see 2 nouns when it´s time to mint a noun for the nounders and FOMO now shows “active” player count by default with the option to see stale player count when clicked
Marketplace

Nouns Weekly Call - US:
Follow up on discussion in general around holders accumulating nouns
I dont think we should attack anyone personally, everyone is playing within the rules/design of the protocol
Permissionless system
Seems inevitable that governance would eventually become contentious due to differing views/objectives/etc
Things are more complex at the social layer
DAO could fracture into sub-organizations if things got contentious enough, seperate discords etc
A lot of nouns is upgradeable at contract layer, protocol is permissioned by the 51%
Important convo to have b/c we want everyone to have a fair chance of getting a noun
Poap has good track record of being value additive to the space/communities
How we talk to (and disagree) with one another is key, should be vigilant but also not assume the worst in other members
Lil Nouns
First proposal fork we’ve seen on-chain (and by different dao members)
Shows demand for participating in the nouns dao protocol at a lower price point
There could be additional value with dividends (air drop) - we should review legal implications
I think we (nouns dao members) could be valuable to the community holding individually vs collectively
Small Grants
The group has started going beyond small / retro grants
If a DAO member has an immediate use case for ETH/liquidity, you can come to us (we will still be using our best judgment when deploying capital)
If anyone wants to help out with small grants, reach out, the group can always use more eyes / opinions
Moonbeans - link
Curious to see how the revenue sharing would play out
The proposal lacked some cohesion, a lot going on
It’s a new vertical. Nouns Beans feels very fun/simple, but the $BEANS doesn’t seem necessary
Asking for ~ $270,000 USD / 139 ETH
How much would it be without the $BEANS ?
Potential liabilities?
All call notes can be found here.
