This was probably our most contentious YES vote to date (final tally was 20 votes for, 10 against, 6 abstentions.) Overall, I think the common theme from our discussions on Nouncil call this week was that MadHappy is a great brand, and this potentially represents a great opportunity for Nouns to get positive exposure in the streetwear community. Also, we overall acknowledge that established artists and brands can be afforded a certain baseline of trust to execute on ideas. However, having said that, many Nouncillors expressed concern at the fact that the Proposal included no mockups or design plans, and no Development Phases tied to Milestones. We would like to see, even from established brands, at least some basic mockups to determine whether the designs will be desirable, and/or Nounish. And some Phase Breakdowns, maybe with a design consultation Phase to start, would have made this Proposal more amenable to more Nouncillors (we think.) Were voting FOR, and excited to see the result, but hopefully this feedback is taken to heart by future proposers so that good ideas dont lose votes due to a lack of detail in their on-chain Proposal.

A few questions I have:-- Should we make two colorways of everything (one tokengated, one not)? If so - how to best forecast demand both for tokengated and not?-- Should we build in a similar minting mechanic that when burned is redeemable for certain SKUs? Or should each purchase come with some sort of redeemable POAP?
Based on the conversation, it seems that there is no clear consensus on whether to make two colorways of everything (one tokengated, one not) or how to best forecast demand for both tokengated and non-tokengated items. However, there is a general preference for making the clothing accessible to a wider audience and not just Nouns holders. Regarding the minting mechanic or redeemable POAP, there are mixed opinions, with some users suggesting that a redeemable model similar to nounsvision.com could work well, while others express concerns about adding friction to the purchasing process. No definitive answer is provided for this question either.

Did they not take the money and missed the first two milestones? If this was web2 I would be lining up some legal action for a potential rug, but then again If someone extracted that much cash from me I would not just sit around and wait for them to grace me with a DM. They are a company with retail locations and a team, their social media accounts are active and they are making new things but not ANY noun things. They can take a minute and post here. At what point do we as a community take stuff like this seriously? If they were a single operator like so many of us or a small team of friends that communicated some updates it would be OK to let them work but this is a bit of a joke and a bad overall look in my opinion.
Peiman.eth has stated that they have not missed milestones and have been working on designing custom nouns for the products they plan to release in Q4. They are focusing on mental health nouns, and each one will have its own story. They are also working on in-app features with Robleh. The glasses were not available in early June when they opened, so they will be shown in their winter stores, which will also feature the nouns apparel. Peiman.eth will try to check in weekly to answer any questions.

generally speaking - is there a preference against the more subtle hidden noggles?
Generally speaking, there is a preference against the more subtle hidden noggles. The general preference at this stage of the project is that noggles not be hidden, and it is important to make a distinct noggles on an apparel.

Has there been any clarty about what happened to the NOUNs at the MadHappy Grove pop up? and what has been going on since the prop passed? I would imagine that there would be some activity and proof of life shortly after the prop has passed, but in this case there has been no art or concepts shared. I love the idea of this prop and cant wait to see what you all do.
The question about what happened to the NOUNs at the MadHappy Grove pop-up and the progress since the prop passed was addressed by blequity#2207. They mentioned that the prop indicated they would be putting the Nouns Vision glasses in the shop, not NOUNs themselves, and the timeline for merchandise was always Q4. The MadHappy team had some capacity issues and illnesses during June/July, which affected the timeline. The capsule design is expected by 9/30. The glasses will be displayed along with the release of the capsule collection.

I don’t like the friction—I think put it in the site and make it easy for anyone to purchase—otherwise it comes of predatory—just saying… If it isn’t easily accessible to the masses via the same way the rest of the collections are available, then it feels like targeting a mark—the mark in this case nouners. A double dip in a way—get funded by group—gate sale of goods to who? Probably said group…

I had assumed it was just a regular merch collab that would be directly purchasable on the madhappy site. As others mentioned NFT-gating the merch also skews it heavily towards the existing NFT/Web3 crowd, losing some of the proliferation aspect. --I also didn't see anything in the proposal accounting for cost/time around building out smart contracts, NFTs, ect?
There was a discussion about making the MadHappy x Nouns collaboration accessible to a wider audience and not just NFT/Web3 crowd. The idea is to reduce friction and make the merch available for everyone, while also having something special for Nouns holders. The proposal aims to launch two versions of the merch with the ability to buy in crypto, and there is an interest in checking the interest of Nouns and Lil Nouns holders for the exclusive SKUs.

what do these new nouns have to do with making clothes?
The new nouns are being used as designs to put on clothes, as mentioned by Peiman.eth#9890: We're making nouns - to put on clothes. The concept is focused on showcasing favorite noun traits on gradient wash crewnecks, which will be released on Cyber Monday.

Would it make sense then to cut out the noggles shape out of the earth and have the tie dye come through rather than obscure them, to tie in the unique thing you do?
