Ask would be that Noun only awarded after successful completion of everything.

The proposer, the Prop and the mission are all extremely nounish. OTG would love to come celebrate with the community on opening day! ⌐◧-◧

just catching up on this, and this this is such an epic prop. I absolutely love everything about this.

I voted YES for this proposal. I struggled initially with the high ask, but ultimately figured this sort of activation would be great for spreading Nouns to new communities. The media and content parters outlined in the proposal have a lot of reach, and the actual act of restoring the court itself seems very aligned with Nouns public good values. Victor Solomon has already proven to be a great creative as well, having designed the NBA trophies!

Immediately yes! IRL proliferation, fun idea, thoughtful proposal that brings the meme to new audiences, and Victor is the GOAT.

theres nothing more critical to the success of this project than attracting builders like victor and giving them the resources they need to have a positive impact in their community. if we can retain them after the fact with the gift of a noun, thats even better. marketing spend feels high, but i think this is a case where we might want to lean into the asymmetric upside and see what happens. big fan of the video proposal and slide deck. thank you victor!

Very refreshing to see some top tier IRL proliferatoooors coming to build with us. Imo we need to continue trying to leverage Victors IRL partnerships and network to continue building awesome IRL events and experiences to proliferate to a new audience.

I disagree with 0xbff3. Im pro earning a noun as part of the builders incentive comp. also love the prop itself. ever since the discussions of restoring a skatepark last year Ive been wondering when a prop like this would happen and excited to see victor bring the idea to life for a basketball court.

i dont love every aspect of this prop but the almost uncapped longterm potential (creating a nounish subculture within basketball) outweigh my own personal pet peeves

**Nouncil Vote:** 45 Yes, 5 No, 1 Abstain 2 Nouncillors abstained from the decision **YES WINS** --- **Vote Reasons & Discussion** --- **Sasquatch** | *Looks amazing* **Benbodhi** | *Love this and been a supporter since the ideas started flowing.* ⌐◨-◨ **Josep** | *Having Victor continue his journey as a Nouns builder is very interesting. In his previous proposals he has proven to deliver on his proposals, I think we should support his cause.* **Wattsy** | *I dont know enough about sports and their community impact to make a fair decision here.* **profwerder** | *Excited for this initiative from a proliferation and social good perspective!* **Mach** | *I like the idea, think marketing could be saved a little but something permanent in LA could be big.* **Mindtoasted** | *From how they applied Kintsugi embellishes an objects on the basketball court they once repaired, that is the thing, can bring up many possibilities that come from those who are active in the world of basketball, Its a huge amount of request. I voted yes for this and if this goes on chain, hope there will be lots of Nounish culture growing in many direction.* **Coral Orca** | *its nounish and a good cause* **RyanMac ⌐◨-◨** | *it’s worth trying out this model with Victor & if all goes well bringing it to scale across the country would be unreal* --- For more Nouns DAO proposal discussion head to the Nouncil Discord: https://discord.gg/nouncil

I appreciate the honesty and transparency that Victor provided when I had questions about locations, influencer spend, and launch partners. The Jungle discords prop-specific channel was a great place for us to discuss this and Victor answered my questions respectfully... ...even though Im just a random internet person while this guy worked with Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Boston Celtics, and now (potentially)... NOUNS

This could be huge!

Im against any proposals that request a Noun as part of the funding. If you want a Noun, buy a Noun.

Dont think its reasonable to pay $30k for a ig post if this is a good cause The influencer seems to care about this cause as well and the influencing should be goodwill as we make this happen together

I am voting no on anything that includes a free noun. Also disheartening to see Instagram influencer category amounting to 90k USD. This should be $0. The proposal is good, but these aspects are a major turn off. Would consider voting yes if resubmitted.

Nouns Basketball Court Restoration Project []( .-------Apologies for the wall of text btw, I just want to make sure the proposal looks real good, that we can get everyone onboard, and make this awesome vision happen!
The location for the basketball court restoration project will be chosen from a list of 6 court options in the greater Los Angeles area, with accessibility to freeways and airports in mind. There is no court/skatepark pairing found yet, but they will keep an eye out for such an opportunity. As for influencer partners, the rates are reduced due to existing relationships, and the goal is to access millions of web3 curious potential new fans/collectors. Media partners include GQ, Complex, Hypebeast/Hypemoon, Highsnobiety, LATimes, Washington Post, and the Ringer, among others, with no guarantees to cover but support from these media outlets.

An alternative could be to add 40? ETH to the proposal to buy a noun, then send it to a multisig for safekeeping until complete
The Noun Acquisition Committee (NAC) wallet currently holds two Nouns, but they are both reserved for other purposes. It was suggested that this might be a good moment for the NAC to fulfill its acquisition mandate of 8 Nouns from proposals 44, 49, and 145, especially while they are under book value.

Didn’t catch that detail myself, so are voters suggesting that spend is to high or not needed? This point might help future proposers who are media oriented…
Voters are suggesting that the influencer cost is too high because their participation likely won't affect how the project is distributed to media outlets. The distribution strategy is already built into the proposal without the influencers, as it is expected to get coverage from various outlets regardless of influencer participation.

I wanted to start a Nouns Running Club before, maybe we can collab on a Nouns Triathalon relay? 🙂
There are some guys in Uruguay who want to do a nounish marathon or something. You could collaborate with them on a Nouns Triathlon relay.

So the criticism is the proportion of distribution spend based on proposal cost or the theme of the proposal as a public good not need additional distribution spend? I’m not into media stuff, so have little context.
The criticism is about the proportion of distribution spend based on the influencer cost, as their participation likely won't affect how the project is distributed to media outlets. The distribution strategy is already built into the proposal without the influencers, as it is expected to get media coverage through Victor's connections.

appreciate you and def understand the 'book-boi' thesis -- as long as i've been around the premise has been public good and 'proliferation' (however vague), think we're bringing both and more to the table with this one -- and could be major value in breaking out of the Nounish echo chamber for broad distribution of the 'meme' to an entirely new web3 curious segment

thanks 22 -- had not seen 453 be dog earred for Stoopid Buddy and apologies for not running this part of the prop by you and NAC before we went up. But maybe this is a good moment and application for NAC to fulfill its acquisition mandate of 8 Nouns from 44, 49 and 145? https://nouns.wtf/vote/44 https://nouns.wtf/vote/49 https://nouns.wtf/vote/145 -- esp while we're so far under book value?
