what i appreciate: - The documentary showcases an inspiring story that aligns with the Nouns values and could potentially resonate with a broader audience. - The proposal aims to collaborate with an established athlete, which could bring more visibility to the Nouns ecosystem. - Upon completion, the documentary will be minted as an Open Edition, with 50% of proceeds going to NounsDAO and 50% to the chosen charity, Life Rolls On. (Intention is great, well see the results) what im concerned about: - I believe Wheelzs compensation structure could be improved by emphasizing his dedication to the project and enthusiasm for its success, rather than focusing solely on his social media following. It would be great to see a compensation model that acknowledges the time and effort he invests and highlights his genuine passion for promoting inclusive sports and inspiring others. - Wouldve liked more detailed information about how the documentary will be specifically promoted or distributed, to have a better idea of the plan. *also wouldve appreciated to see a video from Wheelz himself showing his perspective on the idea. ⌐◨-◨: VOTING FOR

Extremely Nounish imo. Opportunity to be part of something special. Creative ROI with donation to a good causes.

This video gets me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5DI64O15Ow And I really want to tell people that Nouns sponsored the worlds first triple backflip in a wheelchair, it feels like a Nounish thing to do. I see this as an exciting memorable event, an entertaining video, and a fundraiser for a cause Nouns can proudly support. I appreciate the focus on providing and collecting CC0 footage for the community, and doing the open edition droposal (50% to Nouns DAO, 50% to charity). Looking forward to seeing this one happen.

Nouns inspires. Wheelz inspires. Alternative sports like esports and extreme athletics are in our DNA. This is an incredible opportunity to proliferate through an inspirational film about a proven athlete on his quest to become a legend. It has all the ingredients for a high-impact short film in the age of Internet distribution.

absolutely love this proposal. nounishness to me is about playfulness, absurdity, craft, and optimism, and it seems like this story has the potential to capture all of those qualities in a delightful way. love that nouns is a place that can encourage ppl do things like this and a place to share those stories. cant wait to see the documentary!

Im excited about this one! Appears contentious so Ill try to add a bit more thought. 1. I think this prop is a great, charismatic mix of punk, audacious, and wholesome. Its Nounish. I think the people who would see this and want to join Nouns because of it--want to help fund more stuff like this--are people I would love to work with. The asymmetric upside of most props is in how far and wide the story might go: how many people it might inspire. I feel this is high potential, in this regard. 2. Its a prop were Nouns uniquely can unlock something: would this happen without Nouns? Probably not. We can make all the difference. 3. I am a fan of props that fund a specific deliverable which can be used forever with no maintenance: in this case Nouns gets a story and video that can be used forever and has no upkeep. Super excited to see it happen!

Wheelz seems great but after back and forth with the proposer, this needs to be tightened up.

Imagine a world where voting does not exist. In this world, we would have no need for rules or principles. But in our world, voting is a reality. So we have a simple rule: we only vote against. We use a “Squad Vote” for each proposal. If more people vote against than vote for or abstain, we vote against on-chain. Otherwise, we abstain. This is our rule. According to the “squad vote” result for proposal 256, which is 0 for, 19 against and 2 abstain, we choose to vote against.The viewpoints of our different members are as follows (source not listed): Opposing views on the proposal: 1. I do not approve of its model. Spending $150,000 to create a rigid politically correct story for Nouns is a very bad sign. This proposal follows the traditional brand operation mindset of funding special groups and shaping their own brand image. Now NounsDAO funds an inspirational star who knows nothing about Nouns and has done nothing for Nouns, implanting a positive and optimistic brand spirit in everyone, which is an extremely rigid and inflexible brand strategy that does not fit with Nouns. Nouns brand is a completely different model from previous brands; it is a headless brand where people feel the projects branding characteristics from community members experiences. For the branding of Nouns, vivid stories or creatively concise memes should be used to enhance culture and build community consensus rather than funding a celebrity who has no understanding of Nouns. I strongly oppose the 256 proposal, which uses a solution that is fundamentally incompatible with both our thinking and operational methods to shape the Nouns brand. 2. The requirement for $150,000 in funding is too high.

Poll failed to meet vote threshold. **FOR - 27 VOTES** **Bigshot Klim** | *Great prop with lots of positive vibes and exposure as well as opportunities to add some IRL activations for nouns* **nonodynamo** | *With a safety first caveat.* **Benbodhi** | *extremely nounish ⌐◨-◨* **AGAINST - 22 VOTES** **heyjeff.eth** | *the idea in a vacuum seems really cool. I’m really not sure how much value this would bring to the DAO just by slapping some Noggles on the event - it just seems like a sponsorship with little upside for the cost* **Bloomz** | *Cool idea but way to large of an ask for what is being accomplished IMO. Would be cool to see done on a small fraction of the proposed budget.*

i like the idea and love the energy both dorculas and Wheelz give away but the ask seems way too big for me to vote yes on it

The proposal aims to create a documentary featuring Aaron Wheelz Fotheringham, an extreme wheelchair athlete, attempting the first triple back flip in a wheelchair. The documentary will be Nounish in nature, capturing Wheelzs journey and story.

1) how deep will the involvement of Nouns be and whether Nouns means anything to the athlete. It's a significant sponsorship.-2) how does Nouns do anything with the attention from this? Where does it go and how transient is it?-3) what happens if he gets hurt during the event? -4) where does revenue from the documentary, if it gets picked up by streamers or other distribution channels, go?--1) Nouns will be everywhere in the documentary. It'll be in 80% of the scenes - the beginning will show Wheelz discovering Nouns, we'll show fun Nounish scenes of people in Noggles voting then prop passing, everybody meaningful in the documentary (ramp maker and our marketing materials guy will be featured with Noggles, the whole mega ramp will be decked out in Nouns marketing stuff, a massive Noggles inflatable will be next to the mega ramp, his wheelchair will be Nounified and presented to him as he walks up to the mega ramp by people with Noggles on. Needless to say, I'm making sure every corner of this doc is Nounish.-2) In the spirit of underpromising and overdelivering, I didn't want to guarantee any coverage. Between Wheelz and I, we've both been covered in ESPN, Bleacher Report, CNN, Guinness Book of World Records (who also may be present at the event b/c they love Wheelz), Forbes, etc. People LOVE to cover Wheelz and what he does. I'll make sure that all of those sources will hear about the release of this documentary 2 weeks out from release.-3) Wheelz has the best insurance someone in his position can buy. The ramp and the stunt itself is safer than you think, the most dangerous part is being at the top of the 30 ft ramp. The lander is semi-hard and absorbs a lot of the landing energy (check out the America's Got Talent video he did last year to see the ramp we're using). In the event he does get hurt or injured, the remaining funds will be returned to the DAO.-4) This will be the first video on a new Youtube channel called Every Day, Forever. Don't believe we'll be able to earn ad revenue on it. However, I plan on submitting a droposal where 50% of the open edition sales will go back to NounsDAO.
1) Nouns will be heavily involved in the documentary, appearing in 80% of the scenes. The documentary will show Wheelz discovering Nouns, people in Noggles voting and props passing, and various Noun-related marketing materials. The mega ramp, wheelchair, and other elements will also be Nounified.-2) While no specific coverage is guaranteed, Wheelz and the documentary creator have been covered by major media outlets in the past. They will ensure these sources hear about the documentary release two weeks before it happens.-3) Wheelz has the best insurance available for his situation. The ramp and stunt are relatively safe, but if he gets hurt or injured, the remaining funds will be returned to the DAO.-4) The documentary will be the first video on a new YouTube channel called Every Day, Forever. Ad revenue is not expected, but a droposal is planned where 50% of the open edition sales will go back to NounsDAO.
