My understanding is that Nouns Cares aims to bring aesthetics to existing
substance within Nouns (proposals), which I do find intriguing as how imwylin
says - not everyone is a marketer. Especially many technical builders who build
amazing things. There’s definitely something there.

But seemingly fitting, while the aesthetics are there in this proposal, it’s
really quite hard to get to the substance. Respectfully, it’s painfully
GPT-esquely written, which drags throughout most of the prop.

I believe, but am not sure, the tl;dr is - “We help approved props which have
substance, by providing aesthetics & marketing guidance” (free of charge to the
individual proposers?)

I don’t think quarterly white papers “focusing on the latest trends, insights
and strategies within the Web3 space” are of value or something that should be
funded by Nouns. Key Performance Indicators are mentioned but none set for this
very prop. Big brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Stake (the gambling site?), Amazon
and the NBA are name dropped here, where the potential relation to Nouns is
unclear, and even if feasible might very well not be wanted (i.e. a gambling
site).

Again, there’s definitely something here, but I’m not confident in how highly
technical builders who would theoretically benefit most from this, would
actually be onboarded or be helped by this specifically. Further, it just
doesn’t seem like the right culture fit.

EFFICAX 2.0 UPDATE #2 ⌐◨-◨

Exciting things are happening in the land of efficiency, and while very few of
them are "tangible", there's some really exciting developments to share.


1.3 IN USE!

Efficax 1.3 has been in beta for a bit and is well loved! In my opinion, it's
still a touch too clunky to be pushed as a "mainline" release, but 1.4 is well
in the works and I'm excited to get that out.

it's available here in the meantime


1.4 DESIGN PROGRESS

On the subject of 1.4, I've been able to put together a set of simple but fun UI
designs, mainly thanks to the awesome typography of MEK.txt, which includes the
icon fonts.



Everything here is just letters and boxes, so it's nice and small and neat!

The contract for 1.4 is also nearing completion, and an early version has been
looked over by my friends at the Solidity Guild. As I talked about in the
proposal, there's not enough money here for a formal audit, but having friends
glance at things sure helps.


CC0 ATTESTATION LEGAL UPDATE!

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the lovely Alfred Steiner and I had a
great meeting about what CC0 attestation on-chain might look like. After some
wording tweaks, it looks like we have a pretty good way for folks to license
things as they wish.

Licensing is a silly thing sometimes, but with Alfred's help I think we've put
together something that will be greatly valuable to the community. No more
relying on a "this is CC0" tweet or a link on a website, it'll all be tied
immutably together 🤝


CONCLUSION

Overall, that's 3 huge conceptual pieces of the puzzle that have been knocked
out. With only 1 big one remaining (being the interfaces that will make up 2.0),
it's time to get building!

The Nouncil has spoken.

We discuss all Nouns proposals every week in our Discord
https://discord.gg/fdjJpMeV6K. The calls are public and all are welcome!

You can find previous call recordings here:

Unfortunately, even with some support, Nouncil has a majority wishing to vote
against this proposal. There was concerns about the budget/large ask, the
proposal creative content and whether it is a good fit for the DAO.

expecting every proposal to have distribution channels and dinging them when
they don't doesn't make sense; like measuring a fish by its ability to climb a

recognition of Nouns as a whole"

borg00000 | "if you are proposing to do the creative for all these nouns props,
then the creative on your own prop should be blowing me away, which it isn’t
(many sloppy misaligned graphic elements, & the noggles on the growth serum are
looking the wrong way, etc.) I also think this lump sum ask is insane for an
experiment run by people who are not already deeply entrenched, e.g. $180k+ to
make the materials to show nouns and potential clients what you can do? Those
materials (at least the beginnings of) should have been the substance of this
prop that blew me away, not something that cost near quarter mil $ to produce
whilst you learn about nouns. Imo should be revised as smaller prop, perhaps
with a select team, to prove the principal. Good luck either way. pipe"

As we approach the end of the proposal, I want to express sincere gratitude to
all who have supported us and provided valuable feedback, which will ultimately
be applied to enhance our proposal!

The feedback received has been instrumental in sparking meaningful discussions
on the issue of water scarcity and highlighting the role of Nouns as a global
force for impact and public goods.

In light of the feedback, we believe that not passing this proposal will
ultimately be net positive as it allows us to revise and incorporate community
input effectively, to create an even more impactful and Nounish prop! ⌐◨-◨

For the upcoming Version 2 of the proposal, we have outlined the following
steps:

 1. Collaboratively, myself, the Sierra Leone Rising team (Princess Sarah and
    Hindo), along with representatives from NounsDAO Africa (Xargs and Davin),
    will draft the second iteration of the proposal.

 2. We will create a fun and informative video (wearing Noggles of course!),
    providing a detailed overview of the proposal accompanied by personal
    stories.

 3. The revised proposal will feature a more comprehensive outline detailing the
    step-by-step process of well construction, including the construction
    process, the team involved, and the equipment to be utilized. (We will also
    brainstorm ways we can incorporate more Nounish aesthetic to the physical
    well!)

Lastly, we are excited to welcome Princess Sarah into our community and
prioritize her onboarding process, as she has expressed interest in getting more
involved on today's Tavern space!

Catch the recap of our Tavern space from today with Princess Sarah to learn more
about our next steps: https://alpha.tavern.fm/taverns/3Qt8zW8rZpM2dQ1ez4rH

Thank you all again for participating in this important discussion to create a
positive impact in our world for those who need it most! 🌍

While I can understand some of the apprehensions around why this isn't perfect,
it's a step in the right direction. This is the most clear and concise version

I'm a big fan on using onchain tools and funding mechanisms to create IRL
change. I'd like to see more of these props put more effort into "Impact
Onboarding". Using this opportunity to create meaningful adoption not only
improves the prop, it also positions the community for additional funding
opportunities based on their onchain impact. I can envision local adoption
resulting in funding from RteroPGF or projects with a focus on emerging markets,
Lisk for example. These are the types of communities that can serve as a case
study, allowing us to learn more about how public goods funding mechanisms
create change and help us grow the ecosystem.

Nounboarding should consist of more than funding and one or two pieces of
content with people wearing Noggles. This extra effort helps proliferate Nouns
as an organization capable of creating change.

I'm confident this prop can pass with more Impact Onboarding implemented.

Supportive of this prop and it’s received a lot of good feedback. Voting Yes to
encourage the team to revise and try again. 2 things I would like to see in
these kinds of props; onboarding and minting. This initiative has the
opportunity to onboard a lot of people to Ethereum. Everyone from the Princesses
staff to anyone holding a shovel should be onboarded with a wallet, their first
NFT and a splits contract from NFT mints. I encourage projects like these to
mint everything. Tell a story using a collaborative 1155 collection. An
Instagram story last 24 hours an NFT collection lasts forever. I present Fridays
at The Park in Honduras as an example of behinds the scenes and NFT storytelling
that will maximize the initiative of the prop. (Check out this site!
https://zora.co/manage/1155/base:0x878dd96c70b1bef2d1a4c307266579cb958cbf04 ) In
addition they onboarded musicians, farmers and coffee people who minted their
first NFT to this collection and started collecting protocol rewards. Onboarding
and minting the journey can maximize the impact of this proposal for both Nouns
and Sierre Leon.

I have missfeelings on this one. On one side I'd love to say yes. It really fits
the Nouns purpose. On the other hand there are parts that feel off. I suggest
proposers to gather feedback and try again. This can be done properly I believe

   ugh this is a tough one but voting against. i'm not against nouns funding
   charitable projects (for example a recent example is nouns funding rebuilding
   of a community school in uganda: https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/477). but i
   like prop 477 b/c it feels a lot more grassroots and organic. in that case,
   davin the proposer is a long time nouns fan and community member, the school
   is the school davin himself went to, and he's going to be involved in the
   rebuilding of it directly. with this prop, brennen and pat are the nouns
   liasons, rachel is the proposer effectively it seems who knows sarah, sarah
   culberson is kind of the brand name spokes person, and her foundation will be
   doing the actual work. it just feels all too intermediated and not really a
   direct relationship to the thing that's happening. in some ways it feels like
   more just traditional charity work where a noteworthy person raises funding
   via their reputation. while this is a good cause, i don't think this this is
   a case where we can uniquely be a funder for the intended work or a funding
   story that is noteworthy that will spread the story of nouns. really
   appreciate rachel and brennen/pat for bringing this prop to nouns but voting
   against for the reasons above.

Noun40, thank you for honest feedback, and for directing me to prop 477! This is
a great reference for me. (https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/477)

While this vote means likely that this proposal will not be passed, we won't
give up. I will put this feedback into action to address these concerns from you
and others from the community to make it better 💪

I will definitely be exploring what has worked from props like prop 477 and
apply it to the second iteration of this proposal that I am in talks to create
with Xargs and NounsDAO Africa.

Thanks for joining in the conversation, and thank you again for your feedback 🙏

Appreciate the feedback everyone! I've had a chat with Rachel and will be
letting this proposal run for the last day to get any last feedback and then
plan for a rework in collaboration with Xargs + NounsDAO Africa for a future
proposal.

Takeaways:

 * Media should be more authentic and less transactional

 * Really happy to see people who have supported Rachel including Nouns Square
   community, Nouncil, Xargs, Brennen, and others guiding her on what are next
   steps after this initial version of the prop. This is really important for
   new members so that members stay active in the community so I'm thankful that
   she's experiencing the same treatment that I got when I first joined.

 * Onboarding new members can be challenging, but overall worth it as I'm
   excited to see Rachel join one of the more tenured communities and love the
   passion she has for public goods

 * A future proposal should likely include a plan for continued support with or
   without nouns funding for maintenance of wells. This was a really good lesson
   learned from the conversations with Hindo, Sarah, and Rachel.

   Much of the beauty of Nouns is seeing different interpretations and
   executions, as opposed to everything conforming to set brand guidelines and
   execution strategies. This idea could work well for select client(s) but imo
   is too smol in vision for how big Nouns aims to become. In Nouncil call you
   said "Nouns will never be as big as Microsoft" whereas for me personally,
   that is precisely the goal here.

We absolutely agree, which is why our services are optional. We're not aiming to
restrict the Nouns brand, we're here to support the Nouns and the broader
Web2/Web3 communities as needed. This includes all the services outlined in our
proposal as well as employing our community members to participate and earn
alongside Nouns Cares.

Additionally, it appears there needed to be a better understanding during the
Nouncil call. Regarding full-time support and quality output, we can't aspire to
be Microsoft with the current lack of structure, community & onboarding tools,
and general upkeep. To clarify, we believe in developing long-term value that
resonates at the core of the brands we support. Think of how Nike Tennis is an
integral part of Nike but can only maintain its health if Nike is preserved and
adequately represented.

I hope this clarifies our position, and I would be happy to reconnect on Discord

   Charity Water, a charity that builds wells for villages in Africa, has always
   been one of my favorites because the positive impact relative to the capital
   requirements is off the charts.
   
   To brennen's point, this seems like a win win win where we can not only have
   a positive impact, but also cultivate a relationship and help raise positive
   awareness for Nouns and Web3 globally.

Thank you for your support willywonka.eth!

This prop has always felt like an easy win for Nouns to showcase our positive
humanitarian and public goods efforts, while garnering support from a public
figure like Princess Sarah.

She has recently launched her podcast "Modern Royalty"
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otAeqfTcs5I) and to what Brennen had mentioned,
having support from the Princess could even lead us to future opportunities; And
perhaps can create a bridge to connect with diverse cultures and royalty from
around the world.

Your support is incredibly appreciated here, and thank you again for supporting
something that could positively impact the lives of many!

This is such an important cause to me, and so many others. If you have feedback
and/or suggestions to make this proposal more effective, I would absolutely love
to hear and apply the necessary changes.

Thank you for being a part of the conversation, and for providing your honest

   While I appreciate the good intentions behind this proposal, and I want to be
   clear that providing clean drinking water to communities in need is an
   unquestionably worthy cause, I find myself unable to support the prop as it
   currently stands due to concerns about the media plan.
   
   Projects like this are opportunities to prove that communities like ours can
   be a real force for good in the world, going beyond onetime donations and
   forging deep, meaningful connections with the people and causes we support. I
   have a sense from Brennen’s vote that this is supposed to be the first step
   towards that — but I’m abstaining to prompt a discussion about how to build
   that level of connection into props, as well as kickstart a conversation
   about our goals and values as a community. We need to ask ourselves: How does
   charitable work like this align with our mission of proliferating Nouns? How
   are we sharing that work with the world?
   
   The promise of ‘getting coverage of boots on the ground’ and putting noggles
   on the project leader and having them thank the Nouns community feels
   directionally incorrect. It positions Nouns as a benefactor, puts the
   proposer on the hook for distribution, and also creates some strange optics
   (no pun intended) by requiring the ones doing charitable work to put noggles
   on as a ‘make good’ for funding. To truly be effective, proposals of this
   nature need to have a specific vision for how they plan to proliferate Nouns.
   
   Imagine if this proposal were rewritten to include an expanded media budget
   that funded screenings of a short documentary about the well project in key
   cities around the world. These events could serve as powerful educational
   opportunities, teaching attendees about the Nouns treasury and the
   transformative potential of an onchain internet that can democratize
   financial access. This approach could extend the reach and impact of the
   initiative far beyond our own crypto-native bubble, touching the lives of
   people who might never otherwise encounter our community.
   
   Or consider the possibility of making the raw footage of the well
   construction available to the entire Nouns community, inviting everyone to
   create their own edits and interpretations of the material. A revised prop
   might allocate a portion of the budget to award prizes to the creators of the
   most compelling videos.
   
   Neither of these suggestions may be right for this exact prop, but what I’m
   conveying is the belief that we should be leveraging the power of our
   community and what makes Nouns unique. If we’re truly focused on
   proliferation, then every proposal we consider must be crafted with an eye
   towards creating a story worth telling.

I do think this is a story worth telling.

We should definitely do this, but reconsider the coverage and how we as a
community (can) show up to all of this. It matters as much as the action of
building the actual well.

Much of the beauty of Nouns is seeing different interpretations and executions,
as opposed to everything conforming to set brand guidelines and execution
strategies. This idea could work well for select client(s) but imo is too smol
in vision for how big Nouns aims to become. In Nouncil call you said "Nouns will
never be as big as Microsoft" whereas for me personally, that is precisely the
goal here.

krel.eth commented on 498: Nouns x Farcaster
4d

My vwr for the Nouns x Farcaster round.

This time, before reading the proposals i decided to form an opinion and jot
down a few criteria that i could lean on and help inform my vote. This helped me
judge props based on deeper running convictions, both specifically for nouns and
more generally for building software.

My votes are based on:

 1. conviction in the founder(s),

 2. how likely i am to use the product (as a nouns 'power user')

 3. and as a distant third, does the idea have a shot at scaling nouns in an
    outsized way

As for conviction in founders, these are some of the things i care about:

 * How well do they understand nouns (domain expertise)

 * How good are they at communicating their idea

 * Did they ship anything impressive in the past

 * How nimble and iterative do they seem (bias for smaller team size)

 * How likely are they to stick around after the 3 month term

Moreover, after reading all the proposals, i had also formed a conviction
against the all-in-one super-app. This approach is, in my (lived) experience, a
sign that users' pain points are not quite well understood. While ending up as a
super-app over time is definitely possible and something of a dream outcome, i
struggled to find conviction in most of the proposals that set out with the
all-in-one app idea as a primary design goal.

With that in mind, i ended up voting for the following:

 * Noggled https://prop.house/0x767a3bdf2aa3b3201b794927a997fcf4e50d4702/25

 * Expansion Packs

   Doing good is good, appearing good is good too. But funding-wise, I’m not
   sure we should spend more than 1/3 on 'appearing', especially when it’s not
   outlined beyond merch & a video recap. I’d be much more comfortable voting
   yes for a prop where more than 90% goes directly to the 'doing good' part.
   
   Additionally my hope is that our relationship with Sarah Culbertson is more
   of what brennen is describing, and less of a paid speaking engagement (where
   we as Nouns would simply be joining the ranks of Capital One, AT&T & RBC
   Insurance Services, Inc., etc. - In which case it's not about who we’d be
   paying, but rather the principle of allocating funds for a professional
   speaker’s fees that I'd find painfully not nounish).
   
   Building wells is nounish, which is why I’m voting yes. Cautiously optimistic
   on everything else part of this prop.

Easy yes. The budget is more than reasonable, clearly outlined and doesn't get
diluted by other costs. The risk/reward makes this a no-brainer IMHO. Excited to

The Nouncil poll closed with a tie and almost the same amount of abstains, very
split across the board. There was apprehension around aspects like potential
lack of due diligence, human exploitation and what nouns could be getting itself
into. The proposal was presented during the Nouncil call so proposers were able
to make their case, but ultimately the vote was divided and we must abstain as
we didn't hit the vote threshold of 18.

   I believe this is an outstanding team that could help proposals they work
   with. My big issue, is how does the resources get consumed throughout the
   year? Do we have realistically a set of X hours we are billed against that
   equates to 500k for 1 year? How do new proposals get access to the agency and
   team to find opportunities?
   
   In general, I find the proposal a little too macro and not enough micro on
   how the funds get executed against nounish activations/events. In addition,
   too much high level corpo fluff is everywhere.

Thank you for the input and kind words, Brennen! Most of the budget is allocated
towards bringing on full-time teams, developing internal workflows, and access
points for Nouns Cares. Our current engagement with brands like Nouns Shelter,
Yellow, Nouns DAO Africa, and Nouns Esports demonstrates our approach to
providing accessible and continuous support. Simple engagement methods through
web, social media, email, or Discord will evolve into more structured channels,
including a web portal, frames on Farcast, and a dedicated Discord channel—all
under development.

We'll continue to produce materials, creative content, campaigns, and events,
enabling any prop, partner, or collaborator to participate and develop alongside
us. With this in mind, I recommend referring to the sections 'What We Will
Provide to Nouns,' 'Organizational Structure,' and 'This Means You!'

Although we don't have a background in a traditional corporate environment, the
language used here is intended to outline actionable items that have helped us
scale independent brands (some generating over $22mm in annual sales) as well as
corporate brand partners, as mentioned in our case studies and proposal. While
the language may seem corporate, it's aimed at establishing a structured
foundation. This approach is crucial when engaging with significant partners and
integrating brands into the Nouns universe, especially for collaborations with
leading lifestyle brands, charities, retailers, press, and commercial partners.
Through this, we aim to evolve the Nouns standard and dispel the notion that
structuring and evolving Nouns into the brand we envision requires a more
thoughtful approach. This means taking steps towards maturity by having
full-time members and providing them with the best materials and language to
drive our collective success.
