# Nouns Events Committee

## Create new workstream: Nouns Events Committee

The DAO has socially signaled a desire to organize IRL events.  These events can serve a variety of purposes, such as:

- bringing together nouners in various cities around the world
- sponsoring events organized by derivative communities & other nounish SubDAOs
- sponsoring larger events to help proliferate the Nouns in distinct communities, globally

We propose the creation of the Nouns Events Committee - a group of dedicated Nouners who facilitate the organization, coordination, and funding of various events organized by members within the community and at large.  We will follow a proposal based approach to ensure that events funded are well planned and well executed.  We will be publicly sharing these proposals to ensure transparency of use of funds, purpose of events, and more.

### Committee Mandates

- Planning strategic direction for events to be organized over the coming months
- Fielding event proposals from the community to engage the community and inspire creativity
- Helping iterate and provide feedback on event proposals to ensure strong implementation plans, accountable timelines, and transparent budgets
- Allocating funds to event proposals that are aligned with Nouns mission and greater community
- Sharing periodic updates on successes and areas of improvement
- Routinely engaging with community to level up key event champions (i.e. rewarding contributors that are highly engaged with the Nouns Events Committee)
- Bringing the Nouns community together, IRL ⌐◨-◨

# Nouns Psychogeography Sculpture with Dustin Yellin

Dustin Yellin proposes the creation of PERSON, PLACE or THING, a new 6 foot tall sculpture as part of his on-going series, Psychogeographies.

https://www.dustinyellin.com/d/24141e#cover

The entire set of Nouns minted before July 22, 2022 will be rendered in their distinctive style within the layers of the artwork, to form and populate the landscape of a giant human figure.

The physical sculpture will be paired with an NFT created by Yellin for the project.

Upon completion, Yellin will loan the physical artwork to exhibitions for the next 3 years minimum.

The compensation for PERSON, PLACE or THING is 100ETH to the artist (50ETH upon acceptance of the proposal, and 50ETH upon completion of the artwork in a separate proposal), a donation of 100,000 USDC (in rough ETH equivalent) to Pioneer Works (https://pioneerworks.org/), and 1 Noun NFT (Noun 252 from the Nouns treasury).

50 Eth Deposit to Dustin Yellin Studio

#  Donate 51 ETH for humanitarian aid to Ukraine through the Rescue Toadz project

## Summary
Donate 51 ETH for humanitarian aid to Ukraine through the Rescue Toadz (https://rescuetoadz.xyz/) project and incentivize people to donate more.

## Methodology
Rescue Toadz is an NFT collection of 18 toadz in which 100% of the funds are donated to Ukraine via Unchain Ukraine (directly coded in the smart contract). The project has a special bidding mechanic that encourages people to donate more.

The interesting thing is that you can not only mint toadz, but also match or increase the last donation for an already minted toad and it will automatically be transferred into your wallet. The toad will then drop its noun glasses as POAP in the wallet of the original holder.

This mechanism is coded directly in the smart contract and a toad owner cannot prevent the toad from hopping into another wallet. The idea is that this will encourage people to donate more. If they want to keep their toad they need to increase the price of the donation or acquire back the toad if somebody donated more.

### Why not donate directly to Unchain?

The idea is to gamify the donation experience so people will donate more. For example, NounsDAO can donate for already minted toadz and “steal” them from the previous owners. Some of them will then donate again to get their toad back.

The goal of the proposal is to donate 0.2 ETH for 5 toadz that are already minted and “steal” them from the previous owners and also raise the prices for two other toadz to 10 ETH and 40 ETH respectively.

### Transactions

The following transactions shall be executed if the proposal is approved:

Donate 5x 0.2 ETH for Rescue Toadz #2, #5, #6, #11 and #16
Donate 10 ETH for Rescue Toad #15
Donate 40 ETH for Rescue Toad #8

## Conclusion
Donating 51 ETH through the Rescue Toadz project has the following benefits:

Funds raised by NounsDAO to help Ukrainian people recover from the war
Raised popularity of the Rescue Toadz charity project, so more people start donating
People that had their Rescue Toad taken from them are incentivized to get it back by donating again.
Recue Toadz or Noun Glasses NFTs collected by the NounsDAO

# Contribute 6.9E to funding Calladita film

Putting this proposal on-chain in collaboration with Miguel Faus

# [Calladita Film](https://www.calladitafilm.com/)

First European (and second ever) fiction movie funded with NFTs, based on an award-winning short film with an A-list cast attached.

[**2-minute Intro Video on Twitter**](https://twitter.com/miguelfaus/status/1500867988341280771?s=20&t=7jVlhyOdDeGSoR8Wg9BoDg)

[![Calladita](https://i.ibb.co/z4f3grt/calladita1.png)](https://www.calladitafilm.com/)


## About the Film
*The movie will be shot in Barcelona (Spain) in September, and is **expected to premiere in International Festivals in spring 2023**, and then in cinemas (there’s distribution agreements in place with Spanish and U.S. distributors) and finally in streaming platforms.*
*We want this historic web3 movie to have several easter eggs of NFT and Web3 Culture, and the Nouns embody decentralization and CC0 like no other project, so we would love to find ways to showcase Nouns in the film.*

*The entirety of the proceeds from the NFT collection will go towards the budget of the film: locations, equipment rentals, cast & crew, travel & accommodation, post-production…, and so I would like to propose that the DAO contributes to the budget of the film, and in exchange we contribute to “proliferating Nouns” by showing them in this pioneering web3 film.*
*We believe that “Calladita” has the potential of starting a movement towards the decentralization of cinema via web3, because film is still the most centralized and corporation-controlled art form around.*

## Nouns in Calladita
Nouns will be included in the movie as follows:
1.    A Character in the film will wear Nouns Glasses in at least 1 scene.
2.    There will be a chosen Noun put as decoration on the location of the film, which will appear in at least 1 scene. 
3.    Credits: either the Nouns glasses or one chosen Noun will appear in the Credits of the film, and NounsDAO will appear credited as an “Associate Producer” of the movie.

## Funding Request
The total budget of the film is 1.4M$, so we’re looking to raise that amount through our NFT collection. We would ask for a **contribution of 6.9 ETH** from Nouns DAO for this collaboration.

Transaction Details:
```
tx1: 6.9E to calladita.eth (contribution)
tx2: 0.25E to apenoun.eth (oversight & coordination)
```

# Bring luxury Noun sunglasses to market

## Summary

A couple months ago small grants funded the prototyping of a luxury sunglass initiative by salvinoarmati: https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/small-grant-request-create-luxury-noun-sunglasses-irl/658. This proposal is to fund the initial run and launch of the physical and NFT components of this project. More details here: https://ivory-pine-ebc.notion.site/NounsDAO-Proposal-29a658f763f74f958f7c6bd916533dbb.

## Upcoming plan

We’re planning to launch these as an NFT collection of limited-edition glasses. Each NFT is *consumable* in the sense that it can be used *once* to redeem a physical pair. Once the NFT is used, a boolean value is flipped to indicate consumed status and the underlying tokenURI is permanently changed. A physical pair of sunglasses is then sent to you.

**~7.2% of supply reserved for NounsDAO Treasury**

The total supply of the collection will be 6969 units. This project would not have been possible without the NounsDAO and the treasury.  As a thank you, we’ve decided to allocate ~7.2% of the supply to the treasury (500 units). We hope to make other such contributions as a thank you to the DAO in the future. 

**Custom Edition Glasses Just For Noun holders**

We’re also making a custom “special edition” pair *exclusively* for noun owners. The design of these glasses will be based off of the under-appreciated and rare “disco” glasses featured on some nouns. *There will only 500 of these glasses ever made, and will be available to the first 500 nouns during mint. This means, future nouns (up to #500) will also be able to receive the glasses.*

## *High-level todos that still remain*

- **Create Smart Contract, Website, Minting, and Redeeming Experience.**
    - Have had a preliminary call with @blequity at Zora and will be using Zora’s smart contract system to launch this NFT.
    - Both Signora Armati and I are software engineers so will be able to build most of this —but we may hire 1 or 2 engineers to accelerate the timeline.
- **Finalize a storage/distribution facility for shipping the sunglasses.**
    - We’ll need to organize a distribution facility which will serve a few functions:
        - Long-term storage of glasses (for those that are unredeemed or redeemed later)
        - We have items coming from multiple manufacturers (Sunglasses, Nouns Box, Carrying case, polishing cloth, thank you cards) — and will need an area to assemble and ship out all boxes.
- **Promotional Video / Ad**
    - We want to create a fun promo (IRL) video that showcases the glasses + nouns brand. We’ve had a preliminary call with [@jasonmorena_](https://twitter.com/jasonmorena_) (who was previously the filmmaker for Gary Vee) who has expressed interest in creating an ad for us.
- **Finalize glass design and create units at scale.** 

### **Funds Requested**

- 115Ξ for creating the smart contract, website, promotional/marketing material (this will be most of the remaining work), distribution facility, and to start manufacturing.
- 1 Noun of the DAO's choice upon successful delivery of the first physical pair of glasses.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Increase Voting Delay and Voting Period

As the number of nouners and nouns sub-communities increase, we will see more proposals appear on-chain without prior off-chain coordination. This is a proposal to increase the ‘Voting Delay’ to 4 days, and the ‘Voting Period’ to 5 days, so that nouners have more time to diligence proposals and to decide how they will vote.

Outcome: CANCELLED
# Gamify fundraising for Ukraine by donating 51 ETH through the Rescue Toadz project


## Summary
The goal is to donate 51 ETH for humanitarian aid to Ukraine and increase the popularity of the Rescue Toadz (https://rescuetoadz.xyz/) charity project so that more people start donating as well.

## Methodology
Rescue Toadz is a charity project that gamifies the fundraising process. It is an NFT collection of 18 toadz with 100% of the funds being donated to Ukraine via Unchain Ukraine. A special bidding mechanic encourages people to donate more.

The gamified aspect is that you can not only mint toadz, but also transfer someone else’s toad in your wallet by matching or increasing their last donation. The toad then drops its noun glasses as POAP in the wallet of the original holder.

This mechanism is coded directly in the smart contract and a toad owner cannot prevent the toad from hopping into another wallet. This encourages people to donate more - if they want to keep their toad they need to increase the price of the donation or acquire back the toad if somebody donated more.

100% of the funds are immediately sent from the Rescue Toadz smart contract to Unchain Ukraine. It is a pure charity project - the project devs make no money from it.

## Why not donate directly to Unchain?
The idea is not only for Nouns DAO to donate, but also to encourage other people to donate as well. For example, NounsDAO will donate for already minted toadz and “steal” them from the previous owners. Some of them will then donate again to get their toad back.

The goal of the proposal is to donate 0.2 ETH for 5 toadz that are already minted and “steal” them from the previous owners and also raise the prices for two other toadz to 10 ETH and 40 ETH respectively.

## Conclusion
Donating 51 ETH through the Rescue Toadz project has the following benefits:

Funds raised by NounsDAO to help Ukrainian people recover from the war
Raised popularity of the Rescue Toadz charity project, so more people start donating
People that had their Rescue Toad taken from them are incentivized to get it back by donating again.
Recue Toadz or Noun Glasses NFTs collected by the NounsDAO
Raised popularity of the iconic Nouns Glasses, which are dropped as POAP for everybody that participated

# Residency for cdt.eth

Hey all, my name is Christian. Through this proposal I will be able to dedicate myself full-time to Nouns as opposed to when I can fit it in after my day job & other responsibilities.

**What I’ve worked on for Nouns**
- Currently building Nouns Center, a [community site](https://nouns.center/) for Nouns projects & tools
- Co-developed Lost Nouns, an [extension](https://lostnouns.wtf/) project with unused assets
- Host & produce Noun O’ Talk, a [podcast](https://pod.link/1615472873) interviewing Noun owners & builders
- Worked on [Nouns proposal #9](https://nounspoap.com/) for creating POAPs for daily auctions
- Created [SharkDAO’s](https://sharks.wtf/) (Nouns sub-dao) website
- Founding [Nouncil](https://nouncil.wtf/gov) member

![final](https://i.imgur.com/fNOPFAh.jpg)
 
**What I will do during my residency**

**1. Nouns Center -** I have incredibly high hopes for this project and a big feature list that is ever-growing. Capturing the entirety of our community’s data in one place is no small feat but has already proven to be useful. Seeing it being linked to answer questions is gratifying. I want every piece of Nouns info to be a link away and I want to empower devs and artists to build off Nouns. I will continue to hold “office hours” and be as transparent as possible with my progress.

**2. Noun O’ Talk -** A passion project in the truest sense. We’ve had 27 guests on over 9 episodes from extension builders to board members to DAO members and even Bud Light. I aim to keep these conversations interesting and informative, and I have a ton of other folks lined up and would love to keep working on this. I’d like to add a theme song and edit the audio while continually hosting these live on a weekly basis and then publishing to all podcast platforms.

**3. Prop House -** I plan on coming aboard and helping out with the frontend, developing v2, and solidifying it’s place as a great tool in our ecosystem.

**Funds requested**

$175K* paid over 6 months in USDC which equates to roughly 8.5E/month by todays valuation.

*the equivalent of $190k `(to absorb potential volatility in ETH from time period between submission and execution)` would  would be sent to a multisg managed by trusted members of the community (9999, Seneca, and Toastee), they would then convert $175k worth of ETH to USDC, set up the stream and then send back the remaining ETH to the DAO.

The safe to handle cdt's transaction was created at 0xb809f32CfE33F3CcA0bbfdf8f56041c081138bb3:

# Pilot Collectivized Nounish Allocation 

 **Purpose**
 
 Equip Builders to Steward DAO Resources
 
 **Ask**
 
100 Ξ

**Covenant (tl;dr)**

Any Noun ("Nouner") or member of the Nouns Discord server and given the "Nouncillor" role (http://discord.gg/nouns) will be eligible to co-administer distribution of Ask in an experimental effort to democratize funding by and of protocol (NounsDAO) contributors. The objective for this round will be to empower the collective of active Nouns builders to convey Ξ in a manner that attempts to effect sustained outsize benefit to Nounish Culture.

**Procedure** 
1. Funds custodied in the Nouncil (nouncil.eth) multisig, which signers and their constituents (Nouncillors) have agreed to defend according to the above mandate. 
2. Open call will be held in the Nouns Discord Server for Nouners/Nouncillors wanting to co-administer. 
3. Administrators will refine a process for adding candidates who are interested in participating, biasing for inclusivity where possible, while considering how the process may be sustainably implemented at protocol level in future.
4. If nominated, addition of non-voting addresses (NounsDAO/SubDAO Treasuries, Public Goods etc) as potential beneficiaries may be considered.   
5. Approved contributors will be allowlisted / encouraged to participate in an off-chain weighted voting process (via an application such as https://snapshot.org/ or https://coordinape.com/) to determine the final distribution coefficients.
7. Any funds which the administrators conclude they are unable to disburse constructively (in accordance with Covenant) by 07/01/22 will be returned to DAO.
8. The custodian of the proposing Noun (*wag#5265*) will recuse themselves from the round. 
9. Some additional context is currently available at: https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/proposal-pilot-coordinape-round-s-to-implement-retroactive-impact-rewards/929/5

**Possible Failure Conditions**  
1. Disagreements arise as to proper execution of Covenant, where clear consensus (measured as a simple majority vote) among Administrators cannot be reached.
2. Number of nominated contributors is too low or too high to be deemed a useful representation of active Nouns builders.
3. Unforeseen technical constraints make executing the weighted vote or disbursement impractical. 

**Possible Success Conditions** 

good will and trust are Nounish ⌐◨-◨ ❄

# Nouns Esports

**Goal**
Proliferate Nouns through esports initiatives, starting with the signing of a professional Dota 2 roster.

**Description**
Dota2 is a multi-decade-old esport that is currently being developed by Valve Software. They host the single largest prize pool tournament in esports, The International. The latest purse for this annual tournament was around $40 million USD. To qualify for The International, you participate in the Dota Professional Circuit (DPC) 2 league which takes place throughout the year. This is mostly an online, regional format, but each season culminates in an international LAN called a Major.

One of the first initiatives of our esports pod will be to sign “4 Zoomers” 3, a Division 1 North American DPC team.

**Budget: 35 ETH**

The majority of this budget will be used to compensate the roster of five players, their manager and coach for the upcoming DPC season. The team has agreed to sign from the day the proposal is voted-in until the end of the third DPC season, July 17.

We will be working with former player and caster Brax to to act as an ambassador and liaison within the Dota community. He will be hosting and casting at least two different Nouns branded Dota tournaments.

Some of the players stream individually via Twitch. We will create assets for their on-stream overlay.

**Administrative Multisig**
Brennen
Sasquatch
Maty
Goldy
Wag

**Deliverables**
Tournament stream viewership - Their most recent series from April 16th has 283,352 views on the VOD via Twitch. Live tournament broadcasts regularly have tens of thousands of concurrent viewers

1. Individual stream viewership - Some of the players on the roster regularly stream on their own while practicing (hundreds or thousands of concurrent viewers)

2. In game branding - Dota allows for DPC teams to have in-game branding through assets placed inside of the game’s landscape. Nouns branding will be visible in game as the team competes.

3. Name branding - The team will rebrand from 4 Zoomers to **Nouns Dota**.

4. Player name branding - Player names will include a Nounish sponsor tag. e.g.
**Gunnar.⌐◨-◨**

I am happy to report the team has offered us “Right of First Offer” for the upcoming Major and The International.

The road to TI for the team is as follows:

Achieving a top 2 placement in DPC North America (June 6 - July 17) qualifies them for the Major LAN in Arlington Texas (Aug 4 - 14th)
Performing well at the Major qualifies them for The International.(date TBD)

**Future**
If this pilot is deemed successful by Nouns, potential next steps include signing this Dota roster for an extended term, signing other gaming teams or esports athletes, and fleshing out an esports-focused subDAO.
