Memo 0x55f66a0d…4cfa33 on Ethereum

Want to first reference my vote from the previous Prop 209 > I think this is a reasonable funding ask for work that I find to be charismatic and fun. I think it is Nounish and like that the projects runs against the Effective Altruist trend. I am not sure how I feel over the long run about a social impact platform being reliant on the DAO for funding, but there are many other such orgs in the Nouns ecosystem right now so I'm trying to keep an open mind! Best of luck! From the Discord conversation I gather that most, if not all, of the work promised in the last prop was done. Am glad to hear! Though I wish that could have been highlighted more clearly in the prop, and we could see artifacts of those stories, as a good amount of the budget went to film and photo crews. I think the learnings here are good, though I am a little leary of the impulse to scale and go bigger. Something that I have liked so far about the work is the "small is big" feeling. I love the barbershop story: allowing people to do something fun and interesting and self directed is more exciting than charity. I am excited about the member led activations outlined. Overall, my current understanding of Nouns DAO is that the DAO functions to help facilitate running the idea maze of "What is the most compelling identity and direction for these CC0 assets?" "What is the most exciting story for Nouns?" We do this by stampings things as "Nounish" by funding them and/or partnering in content releases. Today there are several varying and coherent answers to the question, "What should Nouns fund?": art, social impact, public goods, CC0, governance tools, the list goes on. So, though I am not 100% certain the direction proposed in this prop is the best, I trust the team. I think they are good people who care a lot about Nouns, and who have done charismatic work to date. I think Much Love is pulling an important thread in the "What is Nouns?" conversation that few other funded projects are, and I'm excited to see where it goes. Best of luck 🫡 *sent from voter.wtf*
