Had to sit on this prop for a while but ultimately decided to vote FOR due to the reasons outlined below.
Here are a few points I want to address:
SharkDAO has been largely inactive, yet the Prop 711 team managed to persuade a single member of our multisig (1/5 hotwallet) to vote FOR this proposal, despite SharkDAO having abstained from voting on almost every other proposal in the past year. Although the proposal passed via Snapshot, I personally don't believe SharkDAO should selectively vote based solely on individual multisig member interests. It should either vote consistently on all proposals or not at all. This selective voting subsequently appeared to influence 0xjanedoe's decision, as their VWR explicitly referenced SharkDAO’s engagement on the prop. I was disappointed with how hard the 711 team pushed SharkDAO and individual members to receive these votes.
I find it odd that esports was mentioned in the propdate, given how sparse communication has been between our projects. After Prop 711 passed, I proactively reached out to their team to collaborate. However, their response was a suggestion for our esports team to purchase 7 ETH (1 billion NOGS) to set up a delegation program, which felt inappropriate since both our projects are funded by Nouns. Just nine days ago, they reached out again this time wanting to purchase our merch for the noggles club and proposing to delegate esports (and other communities) 500M NOGS each specifically to counter the "AGAINST EVERYTHING" voting block. So this is the extent of our collaboration and plans at the moment. We initially discussed potential collaboration back in April 2024, which ended with them saying "let me dive into the esports mint and create some ideas." However, no collaborative follow-up occurred for essentially nine months until after Prop 711 passed. Most interactions I've had with their team have been centered around requests for vote-related support on their proposals. All this being said, if the project continues receiving DAO backing, we (esports) will do our best to collaborate and support.
I've always been uneasy about the inconsistent distribution model for NOGS. Some nounish communities have received tokens seemingly for free, while others have been required to pay. Still others appear to have been entirely overlooked.
