Seems off to tie a reserve to bv when bv is not relevant anymore… unless that is the plan, to preserve current token values based on treasury size and eventually take over the DAO to change the “rules” and allow forking again.
But tin hat off, I think there’s no point in setting a reserve. Let the market decide what a noun is worth. If we set a reserve/floor like this, I think we just see auctions with no bids burning new nouns.
Love this! There’s been many discussions about a nouns bus. I never submitted a prop, but did plan to deck out a nouns bus too done to events around Australia. I do it in a nouns car now, but a bus would be epic.
Shame this is a short activation, but would be dope for sure!
I think nouns could do with some more experimentation like this.
I do share concerns about low volume and the value leak, but I’m open to seeing what happens.
Love a tight timeline. One of the things nouns is actually really good at is going from idea to funded and execution in very little time. And Benjamin is perfect for the job.

This is how I see it. Adding one more person to the list of maintainers doesn't change anything legally afaik.
The difference I see is the new person may be more active in development.
And Volky is an amazing dev. We're fortunate to have him.
+1
> there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding maintainer status for someone to the gh repo....... very normal for oss
Volky has contributed immense amounts to the nouns ecosystem with so much less compensation than it’s all been worth and others have been paid for less work.
Very deserving and long overdue.
I think cancelling this entire stream might be overkill for a couple of line items being under delivered at a quarter of the way through.
I support giving Dom/NNS more time to rectify everyone’s concerns. And I think he will take this seriously and do his best to fix the situation.
Maybe each line item on bigger props could be established as separate streams.
These guys have been absolutely crushing it with the nouns deli vibes. This upgrade in location and foot traffic is epic and I think an even more suitable spot.
Big support.

I love this concept so much!
I have always hoped we make some seasonal descriptors to swap out for things like halloween for example.
But this is a very cool variation on that concept.
This gets me more excited about noun traits and bidding on another noun so I can have one with a dynamic trait.
I agree with all of these comments at the same time. I’d like to see this broken down a bit and streamlined as much as possible. But I also want to support this crew to do what they love in the name of nouns.

> I consider this very nounish and if this is the cost to participate professionally, i trust these guys to represent Nouns in the breakdancing scene. Personally love the restoration of public spaces part but might need to break the kids stuff into separate proposal (lil nouns?) which would make this proposal clearer/easier to vote on. Voting for you guys and for supporting breakdancing, hip hop culture, where imo Nouns ie perfectly placed to have outsized impact, thanks for proposal, gl.
+1
> I love this team and want to support them in some way but given the budget and our economic reality i think this proposal is trying to do too much. For example i think the kids programming and public restoration projects should probably be separate, standalone, proposals.
>
> I dont love to have a conservative penny-pinching stance on proposals like this but I think it serves Nouns well in the long run to be really efficient at how we allocate funds, and that probably means streamlining budgets a bit (eg 7500 usd on 'misc' seems hard to justify).
+1
> I let others challenge the details, budget and trust the wisdom of the group. meanwhile I'll vote for popping locking and gliding in the name of Nouns
I think this is an easy yes, regardless of me being the subject. We funded a film about a nouns builder, we should also help to get it seen by more people.
This crew has dedicated so much time and love to this and nouns is lucky to have them continuing their efforts imo.

I resonate with this reasoning. Feels like something awesome at the core here, but budget might be a bit large for the first experiment. I'd support a trimmed down pilot with some adjustments.

> wanted to give some feedback here:
>
> this comes off as a straight sponsorship- because it is. We fund you and you keep doing his thing for 6mo - I'm not that into funding like this.
>
> I think a Nouns prop is better positioned as a 'layer on top' of what you're already doing. ie: We give you funds to do something extremely nounish for your community/audience.
>
> We wouldn't fund Mr Beast's salary and video editing.. but we'd sponsor a good deed he wanted to bring to the world. So I'd focus more on the 'Social Impact' side of the prop with clear deliverables, and try to just bring Nouns along for the ride.. not necessarily fund the whole trip. If that makes sense.
>
> For example: "Nouns helps bring 100 Small Businesses onchain, with Yirs" and you make content as you do initiatives like this.. Giving each business their first wallet and bit of a eth or a stable coin, and some paper noggles so they learn who funded you, to fund them. etc.

I hear what others are saying about flows.wtf being a starting point, but I see this proposal aiming for something bigger after building with Nouns for quite a while, right? I think this is the way—build first, then propose—and I support you.
> >
> > That said, 75k feels too high for a first-time ask. I'd be comfortable voting FOR something around 30k—does that make sense? Either way, keep building with Nouns, making the world a better place, and updating the community on /nouns!
super reasonable ask for something that feels nounish.

While I feel all 3 submissions for this position (Satori, Bix, Wylin) would be a good fit, Satori has demonstrated a general approach to things that i feel would be beneficial to the DAO, especially in the first stages of this transition.
I would support a new process for electing future admins and reserve admins too.

> All 3 candidates are qualified and offer different types of experience that would be good for this position. My view is that Index should have selected a reserve admin and added it to his prop which was my suggestion before it went up. Therefore, I'll be abstaining on all 3 reserve props but do believe any one of them would be good for this role.
+1
> i'm voting for satori not due to proposal timing or any reason other than i think he's the best fit for the position right now.
> i know some folks expressed interest in voting for all three candidates to 'see what happens', but i'd personally appreciate if we could try our best to avoid this outcome. the dunification process has already been quite burdensome, and we're well aware of its shortcomings. there will be ample opportunity to update the bylaws and administrator election process after we reach an initial steady state.
Index is a great fit and I understand the necessity to expedite the initial selection. But I also think we should create a process for elections after the initial setup, so future admin opportunities are open to submissions.
Something along the lines of the old prop house would probably be suitable.
+1
> Index is a great fit for this position and I have full faith in him as the Compliance Admin to take us through this initial year.
I feel like I’m missing information to make an informed decision on this. There’s apparently others also willing and ready to apply for the position, and I’m not sure on how that process might look yet.
I like this idea. But I think it might be worth starting with a smaller ask/scope and I agree with Chris about the way the proposal is presented and comes across. I’m sure this could be reworked to get more support.

> I think a few of these recent DeSci props are written by people who are thoroughly DeSci pilled and pitching it to an audience who isn't quite there with them and don't do a good enough job on taking us on the journey of why we should support DeSci, how Ethereum uniquely solves challenges in science funding and why Nouns is uniquely qualified to participate.

> As a result they tend to read like a science project looking for funding that could be sent to a dozen other DAOs or traditional NGOs.
