Running clubs are a wonderful idea, good for people and organic adoption but they are also something that dont need money to support, they are opt in local groups and they live and die with participation and earned organic interest, not money. Money doesnt spend here.

the Nouns Running Club has made remarkable strides What a gem of a proposal. First and foremost I love the focus on defining what you want Nouns to mean. The culture, values, and general vibe. Positivity, health, organic local community growth. This all feels very wholesome and I like the effort here. I chuckled at the R in FRENS: Refrain from promoting your project or business. Lol. You already have existing clubs, youre already running. Thousands of cumulative KM run is an excellent success metric. Adding some Nounish swag makes a lot of sense to me. To Noun 12s point - I think an interesting path forward is for these running clubs to remain self-sustaining groups that continue to exist regardless of Nouns funding. That means not depending on Nouns funding for general operations, instead just focusing DAO bucks specifically on Nouns proliferation. Something to think about when starting new groups. These clubs are much more valuable to us if they arent temporary and plan to exist with or without further funding. My main request: more cell phone running videos! More Noggle-y running montages!

My thesis as a delegate is: “Nouns has a unique role in the ecosystem as a gathering place around public goods.” I love these running clubs as literal gathering places. Bringing people together in person based on an intersection of shared values — Nouns and running — is a wonderful way to create connection. Pairing this with conferences is a smart way to focus on a crypto segment, while non-conference related running clubs can bring new people in who may be new to Nouns. I don’t run personally, but I see the value of the community that these clubs create. Strong yes.

Love it! Running is a great way to build and strengthen local communities, and I love what Nouns RC has managed to do already in cities around the world in such little time. The ask is also very reasonable.

“Rewrite this in a lengthy nounish way: A very wholesome proposal!” “An extraordinarily heartwarming and sincere proposition that is imbued with a profound sense of positivity and goodwill. This proposal, in its essence, is a testament to the genuine intentions of the proposer, reflecting a deep-seated desire to contribute to the betterment of the situation or relationship. It is an offer that not only encapsulates the proposers earnestness but also their commitment to fostering a nurturing and beneficial environment for all parties involved.”

I like the energy here and it seems like a good experiment for the DAO to lean into and see where it goes. Itd be fun to try to think of a Nounish hook, something fun thats unique about these clubs. A pre or post run ritual? A monthly event the club puts on? Some loose vibes inspiration might be something in [this direction](https://youtu.be/45XF4aC5_FQ)

**FOR - 40 VOTES** **byhardy** | *Lots of Nounish folks on this. For such a global effort, cost seems reasonable. Worth a shot. Would like to see more details on proliferation / onboarding / growth / general nounishness if returning for more funding. But as a trial run, I think this makes sense. Good to see the rails already in place.* **Bigshot Klim** | *wholesome and nounish activity can be repeated at any event to build a broader community. Super NOUNIsh * **EltonPenguin** | *Its a tad pricy, but still voting for it.* **AGAINST - 4 VOTES** **ABSTAINS - 3 VOTES**

Adrianmcli expressed confusion over receiving mixed messages about a proposal, as they received positive feedback but the person voted against it. Heyokha and DCF GOD debated the value of Nouns and the auction price, with heyokha arguing that focusing on book value won't increase it and that building better projects and being more creative is the key. DCF GOD expressed concern for those who bought above book value and suggested stopping daily auctions to shift buy pressure to the secondary market. The conversation ended with differing opinions being acknowledged and a reminder to vote on proposals.

<@215872861909286913> can I get some feedback on why you voted against our prop?
TheBower.eth mentioned that they will be posting their newsletter either today or tomorrow, which always includes detailed reasoning for their votes. They usually put it on chain but had some timing issues this time around. You can check their latest issue at https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9, and the new one is likely to drop tomorrow.

Do you think people really thought Nouns would go for >100 ETH every day forever? Just listen to how silly that sounds.

He is allowed to spend his money however he chooses …. It’s an investment for him that has a clear upside (current auction price is lower than BV) ….. so is it his fault that the arb opportunity exists?

Nouns are known for being Nouns because we're unique and we've done interesting things. That attracted a lot of money and allowed us to hire the most creative people and give them the freedom to do things how they want without restriction. If we had focused on BV from the start *maybe* we'd have a big treasury, but if we hadn't done anything cool would people have kept putting money in? Probably not.
