Nouns Weekly Call:
John Hammon - Discourse
interesting persona, the face is all over Paris, interested in Nouns
cool opportunity to show noggles outside US
he recently put noggles on his twitter PFP
we need this to be documented well
Prop 118 - NounsDAO Brazil - Vote link, Discourse
not just setting up discord server, but making big activations in multiple big cities to really show what Nouns are and bring new people in
grants, spaces, guerilla marketing (billboard, graffiti, posters, stickers...), education
eSports Pod Proposal - Discourse
theses is that if the DAO thinks that esports is a good way to proliferate Nouns AND the DAO trusts this group of builders (a lot of them with esports background) giving them a bigger funding amount is the next step - reduces the friction and allows them to fund things faster and as they see fit
talks about funding a female valorant team
Prop 56 funding- Discourse
one time thing, not a precedent to be applied to future proposals
we want to make sure the prop is funded and the builder can finish
we should be educating builders on the possible downsides
Proposal 117 - COMEX Singapore
put on chain because SG didnt feel comfortable funding it but the proposal seems well written - lets the whole DAO decide
no comments from people on call
Tech Grants
Tech grants team wants more discussion, catch them in the dedicated discord channel
dynamic quorum
reduces friction without losing security - strengthens consensus on proposals, contentious proposals will need more FOR votes to pass
audit soon, then launch
next proposed work:
Automate proposal payments in stables
Granular delegation
Last-minute vote swing defense (protection from changing the vote last minute)
Nouns price oracle (Noracle)
AuctionHouse gas optimizations
Research ways to incentivize more yes/no votes (less abstentions)
