    This proposal is important to help cement and grow Nouns presence in the passionate community that is Brazil. Again I see this is as more than just sponsoring an NFT event. Nouns will get massive exposure, not only to the web3 community, but people in general across many cities. Most of my other arguments for the last proposal stand, only now the DAO is getting even better value. https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9

    Taken from my newsletter https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9 I have only good things to say about the team over @nounish. They have created awesome content for Nouns and are having a huge impact in terms of proliferation. Not only have we seen great engagement on the productions themselves, but the videos have also been continually used as a tool by other creators. While the budget is extremely high, I believe it is imperative to keep funding the content @nounish is producing at this point in time. Hopefully they can carve a path towards more sustainability since in the future it might not be financially viable to fund this initiative every 6 months.

    Lets celebrate good content that the DAO has funded.

    Taken from my newsletter https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9 I would have liked to see more details on this proposal. It lacks specifics on marketing, distribution and costs. That being said I believe this is a great addition to the worldbuilding of Nouns. It adds to the lore, which is something that we desperately need more of. The proposer has a proven track record in building for Nouns and I believe in his vision.

    Taken from my newsletter https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9 Interesting to see this proposal back on chain and I must say this is a much better version of it. Honestly, my opinion has completely changed on this, to the point that I now think its a great idea! Renting the countertop space is a good marketing move, well certainly see a lot of impulse buys. I like the fact that we should be getting exposure to all kinds of different people, maybe it can lead to some novel things. I am also satisfied with the financials proposed, especially the fact that it will be self-sufficient after selling out the first batch. Interested to see where this leads. Voting for design (A)

    Extremely happy to see this proposal on-chain! We have a very strong Nouns community in Brazil. This proposal is an important step toward strengthening that. Not only will this event celebrate all that has been done here already, but it will introduce Nouns to a whole lot of people. I would argue this proposal is not just about sponsoring an event. The ripple effect that will come from these activations are far larger. The exposure that we will get from the street gallery and the event itself are invaluable. It is the kind of exposure we want to have here in Brazil, its the kind that will inspire innovative and nounish ideas. The ask is very fair given the great value. The builders involved have a proven track record and I know they will deliver beyond expectations. Hell yes.

    Taken from my newsletter: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/N6HAVJgz0U7ruUB1c6xB Me and some friends recently released our entry for the Nouns video contest and our main character is a Pizzaman! How could I possibly not support this proposal! (youtu.be/lCgNT_B2mMA) This is a great way to proliferate Nouns IRL in a fun way. The team is experienced and the ask is very fair. Lets do it!

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 Yet another awesome proposal. We would be funding a great public good for the crypto community and supporting Ethereum, where Nouns live. I belive this is a great opportunity for Nouns to be the first and main facilitator for this project. It will help cement our position as a pioneer in financing public goods. Raising brand awareness and so on. I am voting yes to this version of the proposal, but my only ask would be for Nouns to be more prominently featured in the product and not just offer a version of the phone with Nouns branding.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 I like the idea of having Nouns attached to important initiatives in the crypto community. It makes sense for us to be seen as a project that helps push crypto forward. Wilson explains very well in the proposal why this is beneficial for the DAO and I agree with him.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 This is a perfect example of the type of proposals we should be supporting. I have only positives to say about this proposal. Experienced and influential founder with a proven track record. Sound distribution and marketing plan. Amazing product design. Seriously, have you seen the packaging? Conversation starter and meme proliferator. DAOs participation in the revenue. Stellar proposal explaining all the choices and reasoning behind them. Hell yes.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 Wow, so much to love with this proposal. This is how we should be moving forward in terms of community. This is not about centralization, but a path to empower communities and help new members find their way. I very much agree with Toady. As a new Nouner a few months ago it was extremely challenging to find where and how to connect. Oni seems to be aware of the problems of centralization and is taking the steps to ensure this is a community project and not an official discord. My only issue is the ask, which is a bit high relative to the work. But having experienced issues with this myself I know how important it is. Im willing to slightly overpay and vote yes from the get go. However I should mention this is not a sustainable model. I wont be in favor of 6 months down the line funding another proposal for the same amount, so I would encourage a path towards more sustainability or drastically lowering costs.

    Absolute banger of a proposal. Making nouns content is one of the things I think the DAO should strive to heavily fund. This proposal just hits all the boxes: Decentralized infrastructure; proven track record; fair ask and thorough proposal. https://cbites.substack.com/p/active-governance-noun-582-3

    After talking to the proposer I was made awere that this has been a successful use case on Lil Nouns and also recieved some more information on the team. While I still stand by my original comments on my newsletter, with the new information I will be switching my for to a yes as I believe this could potentially prove useful for the DAO. https://cbites.substack.com/p/active-governance-noun-582-3

    Taken from my newsletter - https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-10 The team did a great job with the pilot for the movie. They were very engaged with the community throughout the process and they delivered a very high quality movie. Lets allow them to continue to create this film and add to the worldbuilding of Nouns. *sent from voter.wtf*

    Taken from my newsletter - https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-10 This is important to keep building brand awareness. As Ive mentioned earlier, Ive been to a few IRL events recently and people really embrace the noggles and the fun around it, even if they arent involved with the project. This is one of the best things going for DAO and we need to keep it rolling. My only feedback on the proposal is that its not clear whether Nounswork is getting paid for this work. If they arent I think they definitely should be, but either way I wouldve preferred more clarity there. *sent from voter.wtf*

    Taken from my newsletter - https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-10 Nerman is a great tool for the community, I have used it many times myself by tagging him on twitter, and will likely do the same for this newsletter. However I do have a few issues with how the proposal was presented: Data - I wouldve liked to see more examples of how Nerman is useful for the community as well as some stats of the usage it is having now. Same goes for the new features proposed. It would be helpful for non-devs to see some practical examples of what these features could deliver. Budget - I believe there needs to be more clarity here. Some questions that pop to mind: How was the figure decided? How are the funds going to be distributed? Why choose funding in ETH over USDC? That being said though, I believe Joel is an absolute integral part of the community and has proven his intent and dedication to Nouns. There are few people that I know truly have the DAOs interest at heart and he is one of them. The sum of the positives here outweigh my concerns, so Ill be voting FOR Joel and his vision. *sent from voter.wtf*

    I would like to see more details in terms of of the web3 landscape in China and reasons why it is a good marketfor Nouns to target besides it just being populous. Also, based on the points made by the proposers it seems like it might be more fitting to create new content specifically for the chinese culture then to use the ones that cater to the west. I believe the idea is worth exploring, would just like to see a slightly different approach.

    I appreciate necfas for coming up and presenting this prop. However there are a few issues that lean me towards voting against. The first thing that caught my attention was that the designs werent very appealing and a bit uninspired to be honest. Secondly, I dont see a clear path to success. I would have liked to see more information regarding marketing efforts and how this would help proliferate the meme in a meaningful way. Like many voters pointed out there isnt anything that stands out for the DAO to fund a clothing brand using cc0 assets. Giving a similar example, Nouns wipes have a strong marketing plan and a clear path to reach a different kind of audience. Thats more out of the box and in my eyes makes more sense for the DAO to finance.

    I am strongly against this proposal. Nothing has significantly changed since the DAO deliberated on this issue to warrant a resubmission looking revert it. I believe this would set a bad precedent and we could see proposals resubmitting quickly in hopes of a different outcome. With the DAO as busy as it is this would only hinder governance. I wont go into the arguments of this proposal as not enough time has passed for proper evaluation of the effects from the original proposal.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 I really like the idea of a nounish game and I support this project. It can be a great way to get the community participating in activities together and to onboard new people. However I think it should start even smaller, with a one level alpha perhaps and a much smaller budget. That way the community can test it out and we will be able to gauge the reception and impact of the game. From there the DAO could more confidently fund a bigger proposal for a fully fledged game.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 Its great for DAO to have high level builders with vast connections interested in Nouns. But I fail to see why we should effectively pay for a retainer? Ideas can be thought up and worked on without that being the case. Also it wouldnt be setting a good precedent. A better model would be for JD to come back with an awesome idea from one of his connections and include his compensation on that prop. It would be fair and justifiable. Also I wasnt a big fan of how this proposal was laid out. It was difficult to follow and to understand what it was trying to get at. There is a lot of information on different projects, but no clarity on what Nouns would be involved in or how.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 I caught myself thinking that maybe I should just say f*ck it and vote yes to this prop. But after pausing for a moment I realized thats not how it should be. Governing the DAO on a lets hope for the best kind of mindset is not feasible. Sure, I could ignore my concerns with this proposal. Like it not having any distribution plans or the unexplained cost or even the fact that an open mint is just selling it to ourselves... But is that what Nouns are about? Trusting that something is nounish enough and hoping it works out? I dont believe so. I have nothing against the idea of a Nounish childrens book per se. As a matter of fact I think its a great idea. One of my core beliefs as a Nouner is that we should heavily fund creative people and initiatives. What I am against though, is not having a plan. We have to change the mindset that being nounish = throwing caution to the wind and fund anything. Not having something amazing to support is not an excuse to fund anything. Recent Props like 256(Triple backflip in a Wheelchair) or 263(Nouns Esports) are perfect examples of what we should be funding. They are creative ideas by people that can deliver and have a plan. Thats nounish, nounish af. To Tasha, I would encourage you to bring back a revised version of this prop with more details. Explaining why the cost makes sense for this project, compare it to other known authors and market rates for this kind of work. Most importantly though, I would like to see more on distribution ideas. If we are making this awesome book lets make sure we can actually get it in the hands of readers!

    Excerpt from my newsletter (https://t.co/BFd43TBghs) : Im going to hammer on proposal standards here. This proposal is rather shallow and difficult to understand for someone non technical. It also doesnt go into key details, like how this would benefit the DAO and the advantages over the current model. Since the tech is already built, effectively, what were voting on is the funding of the contract with enough ETH for one bid. And I dont think thats the right way to go about it now. The right approach would be to have the Autobidder available as a public tool. Then if members of the DAO believe more Nouns should be acquired they can make a proposal with a proper strategy including amount, duration and the benefits of such actions. Even though I am voting against this version, I do believe that if the DAO wants to acquire more Nouns, the Autobidder is a better and fully decentralized way of doing it.

    Excerpt from my newsletter (https://t.co/BFd43TBghs) : I really appreciate this proposal, it is very detailed, has tons of information and even someone who isnt particularly familiar with the subject can make an informed decision. The visual concepts also looked great and got me excited for an eventual finished project. That being said, there are a few key issues with this proposal that pushed me to vote against. Firstly, the team is proposing for the DAO to pay for all the manufacturing costs and the teams compensation. On top of that, they are receiving all the proceeds from the NFT sales. Seems we are double spending here. This needs to be further clarified. Also, it wouldve been great to see a % of the sales being returned back to the treasury. Secondly, I would have liked to see more on proliferation. The keyboards themselves will most likely be sold to people already in the ecosystem. So there needs to be some work done outside of the sales of the keyboards. This possibly comes in how exactly the subDAO will operate and how It can push nounish ideas forward. In general I believe more things should be explored on this front. This is definitely an interesting concept, I would be open to a revised version of this prop.

    Taken from my newsletter - https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-10 Thank you to the proposers for working on this project, I appreciate the time dedicated and the interest in Nouns, but I see some major issues with this proposal. Quality. I believe we should be striving to build a very high quality game for Nouns, instead of many throw-away mobile games. From what was shown on the proposal the quality just isnt there, it looks a bit amateurish to be completely honest. Budget. No clarity on how the funds are going to be used. The figures seem high and arbitrary. Also denominated in ETH which I dont think fits this proposal. Audience. The proposed website and games feel like a dated model. Im not sure we would see much use of the website at all. Again, appreciate the proposers but I dont believe this is the right fit for Nouns. *sent from voter.wtf*

    Taken from my newsletter - https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-10 I will start off by saying I really like the idea of Nouns sponsoring athletes in extremely popular sports. I believe having the noggles on jerseys is an effective proliferation tool and a way to gain global awareness. Even if its just on a subconscious level we would be exposing the noggles to a huge audience. That being said I have a few issues with this prop. Mainly I sensed a disconnect from Nouns, it feels a bit like Nouns is being used as a stepping stone. I wouldve liked to see more on how one would collaborate with the other and how the project would incorporate nounish values. Also wouldve been nice to see some engagement from Borna and other players, showing interest in Nouns and in this partnership. A note on the proposal itself - it goes on too many tangents and makes it hard to follow exactly what is being asked and its objectives. Voting against right now, but open to revisit if the issues are addressed. *sent from voter.wtf*

    Reading through the proposal it felt a bit like a promotion for NFTR. I would have appreciated more info on the platform. I agree with a lot of pros and cons given by other voters, but didnt have time to properly form a full opinion myself, so Ill be abstaning.

    Taken from my newsletter Active Governance: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/UF6pmJQChyRthUTsBfq7 I wasnt a fan of how this idea was introduced in prop 268 and Im less of a fan of this one. I really dont know what is being asked of the DAO and what the implications are. Abstaining from this one and letting more technical Nouners make the decision here, but I would urge for more context and explanation with these kind of proposals.
