I'm obviously in favor of this move. At this very moment, gas is running high making it $50usd to submit props, settle auctions and also high for voting. A move to L2 is necessary for sustainability and greater member participation. I believe Base is the best option for reasons laid out in the prop.
(from Nounish Prof via other wallet)
Adjust Proposal Threshold&&The proposal threshold (the number of tokens needed to submit a proposal) just recently went up from 2 to 3 tokens needed to propose. The current threashold is .5% of total token supply.
Due to the limited number of active holders, it seems prudent to adjust the percentage so that only 2 tokens are needed to submit a proposal for voting. This proposal will adjust the threashold from .5% to .35% to allow more holders to continue to participate.
Reimburse BitNouns Purple and The Park for art upgrade challenges&&**tl:dr Reimburse BitNouns, Purple and The Park for art upgrade challenges**
BitNouns has attempted to upgrade art and had multiple challenges due to the complexity of the Nouns Builder interface and lack of documentation. This prop would reimburse the gas spent on 3 proposals which did not lead to a successful upgrade.
Bitnouns will work with the BuilderDAO techpod to fix the issues around maintaining the old art while adding new traits before another attempt. And BuilderDAO will work on making this a more user friendly process.
In addition, due to similar challenges (but not as extreme) I suggest we reimburse Purple and The Park for art upgrades. Those transactions are noted below.
# **Northstar Check**
**Powering Onchain Communities**: The BuilderDAO mission is to develop DAO infrastructure as a public good, enabling decentralized, inclusive, and transparent decision-making processes that empower onchain communities to shape their collective futures.
This proposal furthers that mission by supporting DAOs built on Nouns Builder.
## **Treasury Impact**
This prop will have minimal impact on BuilderDAO's treasury. The total ask is: 0.32260734

FarCon 2023 Sponsorship&&# FarCon 2023 Sponsorship
## **tl:dr: Sponsorship for FarCon 2023, inaugural Farcaster conference June 10-11 in Boston, MA (USA), including a BuilderDAO panel.**
**4 eth request for Sponsorship of FarCon Farcaster conference, branded merch and assistance with travel expenses for 3 speakers for BuilderDAO panel.**
**[FarCon](https://farcon.xyz/)** is the first **[Farcaster](https://www.farcaster.xyz/intro/what-is-farcaster.html)** focused conference (or unconference) bringing together web3 builders and thought leaders. As part of this conference, we will have an opportunity to share about BuilderDAO, including promoting initiatives such as hack week. Although this event will be a smaller conference, the expected audience is perfect for BuilderDAO. Scheduled panels include an L2 discussion with Base; OrangeDAO fireside chat; and a Farcaster nano hackathon.
*learn more at:* https://farcon.xyz/
From [FarCon Fund site](https://crowdfi.withfabric.xyz/campaign/farcon-fund-1-pj66h3w2gc8w):
> FarCon, like its namesake, aims to become sufficiently decentralized.
>
> Ultimately, we want FarCon to be an experiential public good that facilitates a special kind of physical connection; to support and proliferate the digital ecosystem known as Farcaster.
>
> That vision needs sweat and treasure to manifest both today and tomorrow.
>
> We're solving for the sweat.
>
> This fund solves for the treasure.
>
> All funds will go towards the operations and support of FarCon 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts on June 10-11.**

Sponsorship will include a dedicated BuilderDAO panel to include the Community Resident, another resident or Zora representative to speak to the technical aspects, and a member of PurpleDAO, a nounish DAO focused on the Farcaster ecosystem. (Specific attendees will be confirmed once this proposal is passed. Discussions underway.)
In addition, Nouns Builder branded bags, pens and stickers will be distributed to the attendees. A sample was already created and is ready for order. It includes the Builder noggles and website. 1 eth will be budgeted for merch, with any extra items made available to BuilderDAO members. Total will be for items plus shipping. We'll also create a BuilderDAO branded POAP to distribute.
Remaining funds will help defer travel costs for the panelists for hotel and airfare.

### Northstar Check
## **Builder DAO is dedicated to the creation and development of free and accessible DAO infrastructure as a public good.**
Sponsoring a conference for Farcaster - also building as a public good - allows us an opportunity to get in front of some of the best builders in web3. The timing of this conference should align as a promotion opportunity for BuilderDAO's planned hack week and other initiatives. In addition, the content created and shared from the event provides an additional opportunity to proliferate Nouns Builder via social media. The funding request of 4 eth will have minimal impact on the treasury.

Community Resident 3 month extension&&# Community Resident (3mo. extension)
## **This proposal is for continuation of the BuilderDAO Community Resident (Prof Werder) for April, May and June 2023.**
**BuilderDAO is at a critical juncture. We have a fractured community that has been through some challenges. BUT the potential is enormous. Looking ahead, in addition to maintenance of the discord, Town Halls, and Twitter Spaces, I'll be focusing on the following:**
* Oversee the implementation of Roko into BuilderDAO discord with NounsAI to add FAQ support and summaries. I am working with Steve and Alx on this as part of their beta test so we will also be supplying feedback.
* Launch Builder Nouncil (or name TBD) and get them on a path to assist with feedback, communication to Nounish DAOs and governance of BuilderDAO.
* Work on utilizing BuilderBox content better via edited clips for social media and podcast content. And use this platform and others to highlight Nounish DAOs.
* Assist other core contributors with a BuilderDAO Hack Week and/or infinite rounds prop house. This is currently under development and will need support and promotion for success.
* Add Prop Lot as an idea generation temp check and location outside discord for discussions as another decentralized touchpoint.
* Design a DAO Incubator for nounish DAOs with the input of Builder Nouncil Reps.
* Work with BuilderDAO members to determine if a Small Grants team is warranted and if so, to assist in implementing that.
* Seek out opportunities to showcase Nouns Builder at IRL events (e.g. Farcon - in talks now)
* As Zora implements a new support system for Nouns Builder, ensure a smooth transition and that any gaps are filled.
* Assist with designs for a Community Tools website.
* Review previously funded props and ping for updates if needed.
---
**These goals align with what I've already accomplished during April which included:**
* Management of the Builder Community discord, including implementation of a support ticket system, management and recording of town halls, creating channels for prop discussions and idea generation, and fostering DAO conversations.
* Organizing and attending the BuilderDAO NYC [Bagels & Builders meetup](https://nouns.build/dao/0xdf9b7d26c8fc806b1ae6273684556761ff02d422/vote/0x03a68398cb32caf742173dba68cce849fb18cfc6e2d5891656c804636fa2d397). This event was also recorded for BuilderBox twitter spaces. It was great gathering and hope to assist with more. (see pix here: https://twitter.com/ProfWerder/status/1647547986216353792?s=20I ) also discussed Nouns Builder and BuilderDAO with numerous people during my time at NFT.NYC.
* Weekly BuilderBox Twitter Spaces covering the activities of Nounish DAOs, BuilderDAO props and interviews with interesting and helpful experts, providing the only consistent outreach.
* Added and will be building @BuilderBoxShow on Twitter for additional reach.
* Working with Adel from Lil Nouns to implement Prop Lot into BuilderDAO as an idea generation tool and temp check. This will also eliminate duplicate discussion channels in discord.
* Working with NounsAI team (Steve in particular) on implementing Roko for FAQ's about Nouns and working towards training on Nouns Builder questions as well. We will be in beta on this for a bit but this will help alleviate some of the workload on both me and the support team. We also tried Roko for town hall recording but voice recording is not going to be supported moving forward so we will continue with Craig.
* Establishing a Builder Nouncil and seeking one representative from each active DAO launched via Nouns.Build to increase communication between BuilderDAO and the DAOs built on Nouns Builder. I will also be delegating one of my tokens to this council. This will be the initial launch and we'll accept applications through April 30 and the first monthly voice chat on Thursday May 4 at 4 pm eastern (before BuilderDAO town hall). Created an AddressForm to facilitate the first round of Nouncil members: https://www.addressform.io/f/84a227b3-8994-46cd-a458-5652ae95f362
* Working with JoelCares to implement Nermanbot for Builder Nouncil Voting. Again, this is a bit of a beta test since it will be one of the early implementations outside Nouns Nouncil. Also acquired BuilderNouncil.eth which can be used for token delegation if desired.
* Bought and directed BuilderDAO's auction page to: BuilderDAOAuction.wtf
* Assisted and answered questions for multiple people with ideas around DAOs. Hoping a DAO incubator can help with this as well.
* Numerous dm's and discussions around how to move forward in a positive direction, including working on communication, tone, etc among members.
* Met with Patti Hausmann, a consultant brought in by Zora to assist with future direction and will be meeting with her weekly. Initial discussions are around community building and communication.
* Proposed and passed the [Prop House Reset prop](https://nouns.build/dao/0xdf9b7d26c8fc806b1ae6273684556761ff02d422/vote/0xf1a4dc701c52fc5ce4dc4923c2a57d2e7f483066097e1a800ccac9eeb54ccecf).

### Although we have had quite a few challenges, I am still passionate about BuilderDAO's mission, which is prominent in the about section at [BuilderDAOauction.wtf](https://nouns.build/dao/0xdf9b7d26c8fc806b1ae6273684556761ff02d422/163?tab=about):
## **Builder DAO is dedicated to the creation and development of free and accessible DAO infrastructure as a public good.**

### If we keep this as a north star moving forward, I believe we still have an opportunity for big impact.
