Nouncil Call Notes - link.
Welcome all new Nouncillors! Up to 44!
Discussion: Revisiting Guidelines for Nouncil Membership
should unreleased projects be eligible for entry
“a meaningful portion of the project should be launched”
maybe we could help people launch their project
we need some rules, a low barrier of entry, but a barrier nonetheless
“proof of commitment” - we want people that stick around and stay active
“received funding from the DAO” is a good starting point
Prop 71 - Non-fungible Aotearoa: documentary about the artist behind Noun Cats
overall big support for leo, lot of people are excited to see his work
question about distribution - will it be available for free online?
people feel the topic/person for the first documentary could have been different, people don't understand why this particular project is being highlighted vs a general documentary about nouns or multiple projects
Prop 63 - Pilot Collectivized Nounish Allocation
a chance to voice your opinion on how/where the DAO should allocate capital
Joel’s Nerman: A Nounish Community Bot - link
big ambitious project, everything will be CC0, allows Joel to go full time Nouns
Mintface Prop on Discourse
asking nouns to pay for getting the book to libraries, which sounds awesome, price feels high
Nouncil PFP / Governance Token
we need a gov token to integrate with collab land and automate adding new nouncillors (vs manually adding them by nounders)
probably limited transferability, 1155 token? ENS subdomains?
public competition for the art?
Nouner Call Update (Joel)
Meeting Time Revisit
since we already doubled in size since Nouncil was founded, we should revisit meeting time, people opposed to splitting the call
All Noucil call notes can be found here.
Nouncil now votes with six delegated nouns, you can check them out here.

Klim shared the final box design!
Cdt Residency
Cdt is finally full-time web3, hell yea!
Mad Realities
Update by MadRealities - Discord link. They got over one million views on TikTok and over 60k likes on Instagram!
Turns out they did not end up using all of their ETH and they are now deciding how to proceed with the leftover funds.
Esports Team
Nouns signed a professional NA Dota2 team (formerly called 4Zoomers). They are currently competing in BTS Pro Series tournament (Liquipedia link).
After yesterday's r-[2]-[0] by nouns, they are likely to secure a top 4 placement in the group stage of the tournament. This will guarantee them an upper bracket spot (double elimination) in Phase 3!
