PAP 24 - Redesign the Public Assembly Website&&### TL;DR
Redesign the PA Website while also updating the content + strategy
### Overview
As mentioned on the last PA townhall, our website could use updating based on many factors, but most importantly that we have expanded as an organization and have a larger community with more artifacts and touchpoints to surface. Currently, the site is a glimpse of the early days of PA, and does not help to provide important context to what we have accomplished as an organization.
### Benefits
An updated website will provide more context about the PA community and its accomplishments, allowing more outside organizations to find crossovers and opportunities to collaborate with us.
Surfacing of PA’s experiments by community members, allowing individuals to have an increased sense of ownership in the collective and dually increasing the visibility of their contributions to the space in attachment to PA’s growing value in the public eye.
Updated and more automated pathways to contribute to PA, with less upfront explanation required.
### Proposed Sitemap
### Budget
KD and Neesh have decided to donate the large majority of their time on this project as pro-bono, and are asking for .75ETH to meet base level costs. We would like to specifically note that market rate for designing, coding and managing content strategy for a similar website is $8k-$12k, as to set a precedent for others to not participate in pro-bono proposals unless they are in a secure position to do so.
### Who’s up for the task
Kevin (lovingly KD) (developer) and Neesh (designer) have a proven track record working on projects together. We both were part of the team that launched Vessel (https://www.onvessel.world/onchain-media-enthusiast) and also were part of the PA squad that participated in the hackathon at ETHCC and created PASS

Public Assembly Founders Allocation Removal&&## TLDR
this proposal removes all founder’s allocation for Public Assembly. The current 15% founder’s allocation of Public Assembly’s governance token is broken down into: 10% zora.eth, 1% valcoholics.eth, 1% salief.eth, 1% losingmyego.eth, 1% javvvs.eth, and 1% 0xDC9…91B6D (Builder DAO).
## Overview
As of today, Public Assembly has 63 token holders and 80 members on the forum. To reflect the most up-to-date mission and priorities for Public Assembly, this proposal aims to revisit some of the premises in which the founder’s allocation was set.
Public Assembly was launched as an onchain DAO on December 2, 2022. At the time, three of the seven founders were working on Public Assembly as Zora Labs employees. Additionally, Public Assembly’s first project Neosound (and the work leading up to launching the DAO) was funded by Zora Labs up to this point. However, Public Assembly becoming an onchain DAO meant that moving forward the DAO could be more sovereign from Zora Labs as a central source of funding. And therefore the relationship between Public Assembly and Zora Labs could be maintained via a founder’s allocation to zora.eth for funding and supporting the process leading up to the launch on December 2. To reflect a more even compensation/equity between the founding members, the Zora Labs employee founders (0xtranqui.eth, dain.eth, and junghwan.eth) were not included in the allocation.
This is a summary of the context in which the current 15% founder’s allocation was understood and set at the time of the launch. And currently, only one founder is contributing to Public Assembly as a full-time employee at Zora Labs.
## Motivation
In an effort to further decentralize Public Assembly’s governance and influence from centralized groups such as the founding team and Zora Labs, removing the founder’s allocation feels like an impactful step forward.
Public Assembly is now much greater than just the founding members, and their personal investment in the success of the organization extends beyond the incentive of the founder’s allocation. Though giving up the allocation is still a big decision for everyone, the founding team is looking forward to Public Assembly’s long term priorities.
## Moving Forward
By removing the founder’s allocation, we’re hoping that this is a first step for developing a more robust structure for Public Assembly. Some other ideas include: removing the veto power held by the founding team’s multisig FF89DE, and transitioning the legal structure into an unincorporated nonprofit association (or any other structure best suited for Public Assembly).
See you onchain!
Although I do not agree with many points in this proposal, I believe it is worth exploring that veto power shift from a single entity {Zora} to a selected group of active and interested token holders who participate often, dedicate their time, and have knowledge of the current state of DAO affairs.
Group consensus from active and interested individuals is a way to ensure the DAOs best interests are taken into consideration, as a decision has to happen through conversation. A single entity with veto power has no duty to share its reasons for a veto, which can lead to divergence and tension among token holders.
An edge thought on the matter — as the DAO grows to have more token holders and their interests shift the nature and direction of the DAO's future, they should have a chance to vote/decide on who holds the power to deny their proposals access. If that ends up being a single entity, that would be fine as long as it came from a decision made by the collective token holders.
