I dont doubt JDs ability to execute or his extensive network, however this prop is vague and the order of operations are off. Thanks for spending the time to submit this, I look forward to a proposal with more actionable items in the future.

ngl this looks like something where a celeb with contacts comes in and just says pay me to work on things. It feels dated and uninteresting versus proposals with new builders asking for much less.

It is not clear to me what the end deliverables of this proposal are - it seems like wed be paying someone to leverage their network and experience to hopefully create events/activations/media down the line? Im not comfortable paying someone six figures to do that, esp. someone who is new to Nouns contribution; Im not inherently against the idea of open-ended residencies, but were not ready for it at this scale. Thats the role of a program like Explorer Grants.

I think this prop has a lot of potential... but also a lot of fluff. The proposer lacks Nounish reputation which, while not necessary at all to get a prop passed, is necessary in my eyes for such a large, open-ended allocation of capital. I also dont understand why this prop needs to be so large. The ideas are vague, but they are plentiful, and each one (if fleshed out) could probably be a standalone successful prop on their own. Ultimately, this is a no from me, and I encourage J.D. to return with a smaller, more detailed proposal to kick off his collaboration with Nouns.

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.

I dont understand what this prop aims to do. It motions vaguely towards nounish activities and collaborations, but doesnt say anything concrete or in-depth about how to do any of these things. Are we funding someone to start thinking about nouns?

Nouns should invest in Proliferators in Residence like J.D., who can leverage their networks to foster innovation and bring valuable communities like Warped to ⌐◨-◨. This low-risk commitment ensures Nouns influence extends to new communities and that we continue to place bets on good people.

agree with ccarella.eth on this one. weve paid for a lot of residencies that cater inward. this residency is purely an outward focus. an experiment worth doing. especially when its someone with such a broad (and deep) and highly relevant network.

UnitedTribes and NounsDAO are partnering to bring WarpedWorld to Nouns, a web3 reimagining of the Warped Tour festival. The collaboration aims to create a world where industries like music and entertainment are reimagined through NFT technology. The proposal focuses on onboarding new communities and creating partnership opportunities for NounsDAO via WarpedWorld.

Hi <@1085671381846466611> just had a quick read through your prop, just to clarify..... this prop is for you to introduce your network into Nouns correct? && for them to create proposals to submit? So, is WarpedWorld an actual festival event that is going to happen or just the web3 concept name?--The first Warped proposal will involve producing a series of events to educate the Warped community about web3, WarpedWorld plans, and Nouns. (this will be a separate proposal for additional funding correct?) ....or is in included in the funding from this prop? --Warped Tour is legendary, as a touring festival..... I'm just confused, this proposal seems more like a brand ambassador prop vs putting on an actual festival - which Warped Tour is known for.
The proposal is for introducing the Warped network into Nouns and for them to create proposals to submit. WarpedWorld is not an actual festival event but a web3 concept name. The first Warped proposal will involve producing a series of events to educate the Warped community about web3, WarpedWorld plans, and Nouns. This will be a separate proposal for additional funding. The proposal is focused on Warped, onboarding an existing big community to the Nouns and web3, and working on Warped Phase 2, which involves launching a DAO for an existing IRL community with both profit and not-for-profit elements.

We’ll also seek Nouns group participation in the activations. OTG? Esports? (I sold all the Warped gaming sponsorship to Sony and Xbox and it’s huge with Warped), Gnars and thatsgnar.ly (of course!) ComicDAO (we’ve already been talking)...the point here is we need to devise a plan to maximize Nouns ROI thru these events. --Additionally, we’ve begun the process of talking to several top-tier NFT communities about also collaborating…and have begun talking to some of the Warped (Nounish) causes about these events… but for sure we’ll integrate some element of goodness to the events. -For example, do we do an event focused on onboarding women and girls with World of Women…and in doing so explore the WOW opportunities with Nouns. (The conversations have already begun.)

We’ve already put a meeting 2nd week of May with the founder of Vans and the CEO of Vans to educate them on Nouns and discuss how we might do some/all of the events in collaboration with Vans and/or activate at Vans retail, or skating events that together with Vans we might leverage for activations. --Together with CAA we’re looking at what upcoming shows we might piggyback on. For example, one event might be after an Avenged Sevenfold show and in collaboration with their Deathbclub club. We do an afterparty and invite Nouns community with Deathbats (their NFT-gated club) and devise a Nouns/Warped activation around it. --I’ve also begun the process of talking to POAP about collaborating on these events. Still, in the first 60 days, we’ll need to develop a tech onboarding strategy that accomplishes articulated measurable objectives: Do we onboard people to wallets? Do we give them a POAP or do a series of POAPs that are collectible for both the IRL events and with some virtual element? Do we onboard people to Gnars, NounsEsports, LilNouns,etc. What other activations can we do at these events that roll into a broader strategy? Do we do some open edition Noun collaborations? At event minting? Etc. etc.
The proposal is for introducing the network into Nouns and for them to create proposals to submit. WarpedWorld is a concept name, and the first Warped proposal will involve producing a series of events to educate the Warped community about web3, WarpedWorld plans, and Nouns. This may be a separate proposal for additional funding or included in the funding from the current proposal. The proposal seems more like a brand ambassador proposal rather than putting on an actual festival.
