Proposal 127 (Q1821)

This vote ended up being fairly contentious in Nouncil, with the final tally ending 18 FOR - 27 AGAINST (7 ABSTAIN). Most of the discussion on the Nouncil weekly call centered around feelings that the proposed garments did not look Nounish, or that the Nounish streetwear category was currently crowded with props such as Madhappy and Nouns Brand already in production. Overall, Im struggling with the nounishness of this project. Im a no for now, was one comment from our Nouncil Discussion Thread. It seems like a duplicative effort, was another. The generous 15:85 rev split isn’t enough to make up for the lack of Nounish brand experience. Proponents of the project liked the novel NFT ownership verification, and the Nounish apparel mockups that were released maybe just a little too late to sway the vote (after the team spoke on The Noun Square last night and dropped into Nouncil to show Nounish mockups and clarify some things, a flood of YES votes did come in, but ultimately not enough to win the vote.) Example comments on the Discussion thread after the TNS appearance and new mockups: Having been sceptical, Ive been really impressed by Dopamine on NoC. I think its taken a while to articulate the scope of the vision, and why its nounish: Community, web3 native, proof of work, tech innovation (and it will be fully noggle branded). Im a yes. And: I am as well. I feel like the concerns have been addressed and this could be a good experiment with digital/physical merch in a new way. If the team does choose to iterate and reapply, it would be good to make sure those Nounish prototypes are front and center.
