mono and lex are two of the most nounish builders we’ve ever seen. their dedication to nouns, the latam community, and everything noun-related is unmatched. they’ve been present everywhere, representing nouns. while this proposal might seem like a lot, i truly believe the benefits it will bring will be nothing short of unprecedented. godspeed and i hope this proposal passes. +1 > Nouns is lucky to have Mono and Lex. Thanks to their efforts, Nouns is known across LATAM by thousands people in the best way possible. Congrats on all the success so far.

+1 > my reasons for voting against remain the same. NNS as a protocol has very little adoption and usage. the previous prop delivered little against that goal. doesn’t warrant another $400k investment imo.

+1 > love what you do leo, and the work you've done so far (and love chris)... but i'm left wondering; are we just gonna fund one of these every few months? Seems like 'yes' based on your update.. And if so, I think they need to have more impact somehow... ~40k per doc with no real distribution route seems tough. would love to see the first two documentaries get distributed and watched a bit more before we fund more. > > +1 > > > I watched, and enjoyed, the Non-Fungible Aotearoa docu, and Chris Carella is a wonderful human, but i also struggle to see why Nouns should fund this in current form/packaging/plans/goals etc. > > +1 > > > I would love to see a story about Chris, but I'm a definite No as long as the name of the film sounds like it's a joke about bad decisions ripped from a 14 year old CollegeHumor video: https://youtu.be/eExfV_xKaiM?si=0fpm5DHMpDh_YJC7&t=89 > > > > The backlash from ripping off the name of that movie specifically for something like this would not only damage the film's distribution, but also Chris's reputation and possibly that of Nouns. Definitely one of those "Did NOBODY try to stop this?" moments. Definitely the biggest issue- I'd likely be an abstain without it. > > > > To make it a Yes, I'd like to see more in the way of plans for the film itself, especially after it's finished- what are the plans for distribution? If this is a project just for people already within the Nouns ecosystem I'm not strictly speaking against that, but "aim to bring awareness to Nouns and inspire people to join us" is a bit vague. Would like to see some kind of tangible plan here, especially given the limited reach of the Benbodhi doc so far. > > > > The bulk of this prop so far is about Chris, and while he's great, it doesn't really give us much to go on in terms of actually voting. > > +1 > > > https://youtu.be/3JjblckvKZI?si=fhXExwG4Rq5E93FG What’s going to be the difference? Are we just producing a similar product with a new crew producing? No hate but 119 views don't signal the demand for a second coming

+1 > Not a fan of teams working on things that will never be completed because it changes every season (problem 1), especially when everyone has a different entry point to Nouns. I'd hope we never have a dull standardized onboarding process. And it seems premature to layer in new tech to the apparatus that isn't natively integrated with our governance structure (problem 2 + 3) when prop 662 has just passed a couple days ago.

+1 > After ready the prop a couple times and clicking into the propdate from last season, it doesn't make me very excited. There's no tie back to Nouns and from what I've seen, the last prop has been executed like any other sponsorship - just scrolling through the propdate I wouldn't be able to tell if this was funded by Nouns or Bayer. > > Here's an example - imo all of the "Funds" section read alike: > "Funds from the Nouns grant were used to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, and materials for creation of the artwork." > > More specific cornerstone feedback: > - The lack of overlap between GLITCH <> ⌐◨-◨ make it a very transactional sponsorship. > - The "Why Nouns?" section feels forced and doesn't seem to identify any existing synergies that could be leveraged to do greater, weirder things beyond Nouns ability to fund 60ETH of sponsorship. > - "Future involvement with Nouns:" after the 60ETH or during this phase? Why hasn't this happened already? the whole point of funding things is to add more people to the ⌐◨-◨ movement or at least make them aware of Nouns. > - Why ETH when all expenses are in USDC/fiat? > - This proposal reads a bit like Nouns is the first stop and if it's defeated, you'll move on to the next. Which makes sense, but also does not help make it compelling to support.

+1 > if this prop doesn’t pass i would focus on what is needed to keep the tabletop community going (i imagine the events and tournaments portion is what’s critical?) and see if there’s a version of this that could work without the big software / admin costs. i’m supportive of onchain elos and stuff but what’s more important to me is that there’s growing and sustaining community that are playing and competing even if some of the software stuff is sub optimal. if the community grows and the overlap of community with existing nouns fan base grows and we feel good about nouns sponsoring all of this then i’d imagine there’d be more appetite by the community to fund the platform at a larger scale as well > > +1 > > > I appreciate ISpeakNerd taking in feedback from his first proposal and making significant changes to this current proposal. I think its important that Nouns continues to fund subcultures that exist even without Nouns financial support, allowing Nouns to be a complimentary pairing vs just a source of funding. Also, while I wasn't able to play the camel game at Nouns Town, it was great seeing the table have a constant rotation of players. > > +1 > > > https://warpcast.com/krel/0x5c789b1a +1 > https://warpcast.com/krel/0x5c789b1a +1 > I wanted to signal my support of this project and team. I played Brennen’s game at Nouns Town and thought it was fantastic. I also think that as more IRL tabletop gamers move online (massive growth in online playing since the pandemic imo) this is an exciting way to bring a whole new wave of people into the Nounish community, through something they already understand and love. If I had a vote, they would definitely get it.

It also happens to be in my line of work to develop and evaluate these type of concepts. I have carefully assessed the potency of the concept and came to the conclusion that this proposal doesn’t address the key ingredients enough to make the impact we’d all like to see and therefor I’m voting against for now. > > Some of the key items to consider: > > RB Music Academy has been put to rest 5 years ago. > Converse Rubber Tracks has significantly wound down too. > > There are good reasons to it which are worth surfacing and taking into consideration. It’s not because they didn’t mint their work on chain. What are the learnings that you can leverage to do it better because you’re smaller, leaner (although the budget doesn’t suggest this) and leaning forwards? > > All to say that their success stories remain corner stones in the music industry. But not because they branded a studio and recorded music, but because they understood content and ran hybrid productions: > 1. Music production (20%) > 2. Content production (80%) > And, they had distribution to push these stories out into the world. > > This proposal only covers #1 and #2 only on the surface level (ref budget line items + listed opportunities), with distribution being limited to small platforms that aren’t native to music as such. Which inherently isn’t an issue per-se, but specifically for music it excludes the productions from organic discoverability which is the rabbit hole music lovers like to intentionally fall into. No rabbit hole = not a lot of lovers who can find you = low impact. > > Also, if you ask consumers and browse through the leading music platform trend reports of the last couple years on consumer behavior: if you’re not on YouTube, you don’t exist. > > I’d love to see The Park return with a refined proposal that focuses on the following: 
 > 1) Further cultivating Sessions @ The Park
 > 2) Build out their content production
 > 3) For however much runway the next iteration allows, a media partnership to cover the story and build out distribution > 4) further fostering the community around their movement > > I see the whole thing about "owning" or "having" a studio more of a North Star vision and not part of this phase. For now, it's worth exploring the creative takes on "what does it look like when ⌐◨-◨ / The Park takes over a studio for a week(end)?". To then grow from take-overs, to pop-ups into owning. > > With 4 main strategic areas:
 > 1) Authenticate - which you already do with your legacy and work with The Park. Double down. Do more of that. > 2) Lead - innovate and pioneer in HOW and WHAT you do. You're already doing a lot, but it's very binary and limiting the visibility of the good stuff you make. > 3) Grow - build out distribution and community. Hack growth. More. > 4) Amplify - built out distribution with partners to go big and capitalize on potential momentum peaks, when these moments happen. > > Thank you for bringing this proposal forward! If it doesn't pass, I hope to see a revised version in the future ⌐◨-◨

## Mucho Update ### Going Well - **The Christmas Project:** We're excited to announce **THE CHRISTMAS PROJECT** for December 25th. Over **10,000 orphans** in the Dominican Republic will receive a gift. This ambitious activation has been in planning for 3 months and is now ready for execution! - **Nounish Trail Running Race:** We're organizing a **Nounsih IRL Trail Running Race** where entry is based on donating **10kg+ of clothing**. We’re partnering with various brands, companies, and institutions to gather tons of clothing to donate to those in need. Non-racers can also donate at collection centers across the city. - **Social Media Growth:** Our socials are steadily climbing. We've been extremely consistent in posting videos, leading to significant improvements in our formats. Recently, a video went viral, reaching **10M+ views** and attracting attention from **@Jompeame**, resulting in a successful fundraiser of **20,000+ USD** for the vendor we featured! - **Paid Sponsorships:** We have successfully secured several paid sponsorships that have proven to be very worthwhile for our clients, **generating significant engagement and visibility**. - **International Engagement:** We traveled to **Cancun** to record videos, generating substantial views and allowing us to reach new audiences through their culture. Additionally, we connected with **Universidad Anáhuac México**, which is eager to collaborate with us for workshops and content creation. - **Collaboration with Abriendo El Podcast:** We’ve joined forces with "Abriendo El Podcast," the largest Spanish-speaking baseball podcast. Revenue from their live event with players like Juan Soto will support young aspiring baseball players in the Dominican Republic. Thanks to this collaboration, we will be able to cut a large chunk of the costs, therefore helping more people. ### Not Going Well - **YouTube Long Formats:** We’ve put YouTube long formats on hold to focus on **quality over quantity**. This shift allows us to dedicate more time to impactful activations and improving our short-form content on other social media platforms. Producing fewer, more impactful videos—such as one about donating clothing to 100 orphanages rather than just one—is more worthwhile. Regarding sustainability, Instagram and TikTok partnerships pay more than YouTube, helping us cover costs and use our Nouns funds more slowly. - **Chagas Documentary:** Our collaboration with Harvard and Brigham Women's Hospital for the Chagas documentary has been postponed due to the conflictive political climate in Bolivia. ### Lessons Learned - **Attention and Donations:** Our platform can generate significant attention and raise **20,000 USD** for a cause. - **Consistency and Quality:** Consistency and quality have proven to be more effective than other formats. - **Revenue and Sustainability:** Instagram and TikTok paid partnerships allow us to generate revenue, use Nouns funds more slowly, and grow in a more sustainable fashion with better decision-making. ### Priorities - **Execute THE CHRISTMAS PROJECT:** Successfully implement our Christmas Project to ensure all orphans in the Dominican Republic receive a gift. - **Organize the Trail Running Race:** Maximize clothing donations and community involvement through this event. - **Maintain Consistency and Quality:** Keep up the high standards in content production and ensure ongoing consistency across all platforms. - **Optimize Short-Form Content:** Continue refining and improving short-form content across social media platforms. - **Leverage Revenue Streams:** Use revenue from Instagram and TikTok partnerships to support sustainability and reduce reliance on Nouns funds. love you all, necfas

godspeed gami. pirate away. can't wait to see what happens with this experiment. +1 > I'm totally with you on the thesis -- I agree that streaming has made it such that the real money in music is in building fandom and selling merch, concert tickets, etc. Sell to the superfans, and let the music free so you can build as big of an audience as possible. Commoditize the compliment and people need to re-write their brains to understand that in 2024 the music is actually the compliment. > > So... I'm with you on the idea but I'm not sure I understand the pirate part. It doesn't feel like you're actually pirating anything or offering the music for free if you're just linking a spotify uri. I don't know why I would mint a spotify uri, even if I were a super fan. Maybe there's a way to create a friendtech style bonding curve market to "prove" and profit on how early you are to a specific track. But I feel like some variation of that idea has surely been tried and that idea alone isn't really sticky enough. Hmm. tough problem. But I like the general direction, I like funding software, and I like funding folks who have been in the community and are great at what they do. > > So for the cheap price of 13,000,000 st✧ this is a yes from me.

candidly, while i appreciate the hard work and dedication from voadz and nero, i was left with unanswered questions about what success looks like in this proposal. what is the goal of this proposal, and how is success defined and measured? this proposal doesn’t provide enough information on the demand and scale of what has been accomplished so far. i genuinely admire the designs, the art, and all the efforts you’ve put in, but right now, it just doesn’t feel like a "hell yes" to me. in the last proposal, some voters pointed out that further funding would require a solid plan for sustainability. this proposal doesn’t mention sustainability at all, and it lacks a detailed strategy for achieving a larger-scale impact and distribution to justify continued funding at this level. given the current scope and the lack of tangible, quantifiable metrics for success, i’m not convinced that the proposed funding aligns with the anticipated value.

+1 > Hey Yasin, I appreciate the new details about this proposal. While I believe everyone should pursue their creative and experimenting self, I don't think it makes sense to fund this as is: a risk-free experiment with no attachments might end up as a sponsored new hobby with no expectations of success. I'd happily support a proposal with clear expectations and evidence that this could be an actual project.
