Nouns Weekly Call:
Proposal 100 - MGoPatio - link
the proposal went through a lot of changes, now more focus on the proliferation of nouns vs just donation to a good cause
shows hard work and dedication on the proposer´s side
the concept may not be totally nounish - alcohol as a carcinogen, beer culture,…
upside on BudLight´s prop seemed bigger as it was the SuperBowl and also serves as a signal to big irl brands
Proposal 101 - NOC - link
a proposal to fund the experiment for a month, SG funded the pilot
funds distributed among contributors via coordinape
hard to run daily, needs to be a community project
daily celebration of Noun o Clock - live FOMO, interviews, gamification of attendance with POAPs
pretty successful so far - 120 people attending spaces on average
what does a successful month of this look like? increased attendance, hopefully building up to 4 digits eventually
Free Glasses For Kids v4 - link
the current version features Fitz Prescription Subscription and Vision To Learn mobile Van clinic, the ask is now also much lower in terms of USD
what if we help them further fundraise (promote on Twitter etc) vs just giving them money
might have bigger impact
general idea: proliferation vs public goods, which one do we prefer
we should give back if we expect to get attention, just putting noggles on things does not feel enough, almost feels like a defacement
Political Donations
discussion sparked by the pride month discourse prop - Proposal: Pride Month Charity
people usually feel very strongly for or against in political debates
framing inaction as a political statement might put us in a corner
nice idea that nouns are apolitical, but the DAO is basically a sum of all its members (not always evenly canceling out their opposing ideas), inevitably there will be people trying to express their opinions
we cant prevent people from posting polarizing and political props on-chain, but we can create social contracts/norms
everything has a political context, can we be truly apolitical?
All call notes can be found here.
