For: 3 | Against: 5 | Abstain: 0

+for - the impact and proliferation that @bobburnquist can do with his name is outstanding. To many famous figures will understand better what is Nouns and possibility of new biders for auction. — @rickyday

+against -- not in favor of funding private goods. If bob truly wanted to involve nouns in his mini doc there could have been a much cheaper way to install a few nouns obstacles and maybe give a few prizes without included asks like 100k to renovate the park and 40k for "naming rights" whatever that means — @frog

+against - bringing on celebrities is nice, not at this cost. the Uganda prop is Nounish af; have met Vlad IRL and talked a bunch in Gnars discord, guy’s head and heart are in the right place. i bias towards IRL impact and public goods, and think Nouns should lean more into well-structured, meaningful charitable activity with measurable KPIs. this prop doesn’t meet the bar for me there don’t understand why Nouns would buy naming rights to anything, maybe if we were generating hundreds of millions of ARR it would make sense. personally was strongly opposed to funding a private acquisition with prop 450, and find myself opposed to spending ~$100k+ on renovating and upkeeping a private park (+ the other line items.) having fabricated an opstacle myself, the costs there seem a bit inflated $40k is a modest annual salary. i hate to pocket watch, just seems egregious for what the prop is and there’s financial padding throughout the prop that makes this closer to $100k (naming rights, admin expenses) — @wylin

+for — @brettdrawsstuff

+against — @skateboard

+for im a mega ramp maxi and cant think of many better places for nouns to run their first mega ramp comp — @pip

+against — @bixbite

+against doesn't feel like nouns should fund private goods or spend this much money on a film. I think a much smaller version of this prop would have been interesting. — @datadanne.eth

I’ve been a fan of the general direction from the first time I learned about the idea. The timing with Bob’s documentary and adding a subchapter to it with this event seems like a great moment for ⌐◨-◨ as a whole.

However there is more action required than just this documentary for lasting impact. It’s not a positive sum, if we don’t make it one. With more of these type of moments, teams who get their ducks in a row to capture and funnel the attention coming our way, will be able to capitalize off the halo effect for the things they’re doing - whatever that means for the individual community, project or team.

I hope to see a revised version if this proposal doesn’t pass.

I love that fact that Bob Burnquist is a voting member of Nouns, and I think making Dreamland nounish is high impact.

Happy to see that a second version of this prop is in the works, and I look forward to voting on it ⌐◨-◨

Strong yes from me, and not just because Bob said he'd teach me how to mega ramp 🚀

Looking forward to the v2!

A dream come true to have a legend such as Bob contributing to and proposing to Nouns. Excited about the potential for collaboration here and appreciate Bob's openness to feedback to craft this into a strong and synergistic win-win-win.

Really appreciate all of the ideas related to leveraging nounspace too <3 would be in support of this regardless, but love to see this type of communal support that doesn't cost the treasury anything.

Looking forward to the v2 and appreciate Bob's patience and tenacity; wouldn't expect any less from a fellow skater.

i appreciate this prop and the other candidate prop, don't think things should be viewed as either, or. No need for hostility etc, this would obviously be great for Nouns, Bob is a legend, and a Noun, agree park should retain a 'funded by nouns' forever, which it would anyway in spirit.

Feels like this is a collaboration there would be people/entities trying to get, and Nouns is being offered the opportunity, which obviously speaks to the success of Nouns already.

Hope to see a revision of this proposal, and potential collaboration with this candidate if it makes sense, https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/-counter-proposal-nouns-uganda-public-skateparks-initiative-instead-of-dreamland-41cb654d1f47913acab158a8199191d160dabe4a

also know gnars did take $ specifically for skatepark build/renovation, so wonder if there should be more involvement from them in these proposals all round

to conclude, skateboarding is obviously very nounish

I think the overall concept is great but some of the budget feels fuzzy (eg legal & Insurance) or could be adjusted a bit to tighten up (I think naming rights should be free for one or more years with the amount going in for improvements). Also suggest someone from the team come by Nouncil to answer questions if this doesn't pass.

Voting for bc im directionally in favor of the idea of turning a legendary, culturally important venue into a nouns monument.

Feedback:

• Nitpick perhaps, but i think the prop can shed some of its jargon and lean more on Bobs passion for nouns.
• Agree with other voters that the prop could be split up. I think a brush-up of the facilities, installation of noggles, and renaming (see below) is a good scope for a first prop.
• The entire facility should be renamed to Nouns Dreamland permanently -- imo thats a fair handshake for a private property grant

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 a link to previous call recordings in our Discord welcome channel.

Nouncil has decided against this proposal, with 9 votes for, 19 against, and 2 abstentions. Concerns were raised about the large budget and the focus on funding a private skate park rather than public goods. While some saw potential in aligning Nouns with skate culture and reaching new audiences, the majority felt that the proposal did not align sufficiently with the broader goals of the Nouns community.

Nouns Dreams Big. 🛹

Nouns videos can spread. See Delivery at Dusk.

Sometimes private businesses or properties are the best way to proliferate and have impact, so I'm always open to those opportunity.

Bob is a legend, who knows how to do this and has been dedicated to Nouns, even when he didn't have one.

Cultural touchpoints are the best way to proliferate, skateboarding has always been in Nouns DNA and the timing of the HBO Biography is a potential wave.

These are three props in one that can easily split. I'd be more supportive of an initiative planned to be enjoyed by people in a public space.

Most film props are a bad use of funds, since they rarely reach an audience that justifies the level of fidelity. This is occasionally mitigated by lower costs or very large reach.

Most physical space improvements are a bad use of funds, given their inherent difficulty to access. This is mitigated by the spaces being public.

I don’t see any mitigating factors here that would make me in favor of two areas that have historically been difficult for Nouns to see good results from.

There's no doubt that Bob is a legend in the skateboarding scene. It's cool that he's taken an interest in blockchain.

Unfortunately, this is a no from me. NounsDAO should not be funding private property upgrades. The naming rights for a year feels unaligned with Nouns. It's just not inclusive.

Many props are stripping the meaning away from "onboarding". We've seen too many funded props throw around onboarding without producing tangible results in onchain users and active contributors to Nouns. Onboarding users, orgs, influencers, and businesses is hard work that requires constant training and retraining while simultaneously creating demand and use cases. I'm not sure this is something that can be done well through this prop.

The QR code to onboard to warpcast and nounspace seems interesting. Eager to learn more about how that works. Are these prepaid accounts or just links to the websites? Does this QR need to be constantly updated?

Social Media influencers - who and how much for what?

I would me more supportive of a solo prop for Cuida

Dear Nouns Community,

First and foremost, I understand the importance of allocating our resources wisely to ensure the greatest impact and benefit to the community. Here's why I believe this proposal is worth supporting:

• Public Engagement and Visibility: Although this proposal involves enhancements to Dreamland, a private property, the event is designed to engage the public significantly. The skateboarding event, combined with the creation of a mini-documentary, aims to reach a broad audience, amplifying the Nouns brand and reaching diverse communities far beyond the event itself.
• Promoting Nounish Values: My involvement with Nouns is a testament to our DAO's commitment to supporting diverse cultures and activities. Skateboarding is a globally recognized activity that embodies creativity, inclusivity, and innovation—values that Nouns DAO holds dear. This event and documentary will highlight these values, demonstrating our collective commitment to fostering community engagement and cultural integration.
• Tangible Deliverables: The proposal includes specific deliverables such as the best trick contest, Noggle-themed obstacles, and the mini-documentary. These tangible outcomes provide clear value and lasting content that can be shared widely. The mini-documentary, in particular, will serve as a lasting record of the event, available for ongoing promotion and community building.
• Strategic Timing: The timing of this proposal aligns with the release of the HBO series featuring my story. This presents a unique opportunity to leverage the publicity and reach of the series, creating a synergistic effect that maximizes exposure for Nouns. The combination of the event and the series can generate significant buzz and engagement.
• Community Benefits: While the enhancements are on private property, the event is open to the public and will feature community-focused activities. Workshops and onboarding sessions using Nouns DAO and sub DAOs will provide educational opportunities, fostering a deeper understanding of our ecosystem and encouraging participation from a broader audience.
• Economic Considerations: The proposed budget has been carefully reviewed and adjusted to ensure it is realistic and aligned with the goals of the proposal. The allocation of funds has been optimized to maximize impact while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
• Legacy and Impact: The enhancements to Dreamland, though on private property, will serve as a lasting legacy that continues to promote Nounish values. The Noggle-themed obstacles and branding will remain in place, providing ongoing visibility and engagement opportunities for future events and activities.
• “Nouns Fest” to “Nouns Town LA”: The coordinated effort with “Nouns Town LA” prop has a name adjustment from what I have in the Proposal.

I believe this proposal offers a unique and valuable opportunity to showcase Nouns in a high-profile, culturally significant context. The benefits extend beyond the immediate event, creating lasting value and engagement for our community. I am truly grateful for your thoughtful consideration and support for this initiative.

Thank you for your time and commitment to our shared mission. Let’s continue to build, innovate, and inspire together.

With gratitude,

Bob Burnquist

Please consider what we are voting for here. In an age of nouns where inflows are already precarious, this is a substantial ask that is unclear and ultimately feels like is most beneficial to Bob's own private property.

Even if we were back in the ZIRP days when money was cheap, funding anyone's private property feels like it goes against the idea of funding and promoting public goods.

There is another candidate prop to fund a public skatepark in Uganda. That proposal feels much more nounish.

I've talked with people in the crypto space who are familiar with nouns but not active in our community and a common impression of nouns is that "it's the thing where you can get money to do whatever you want, right?"

When we fund proposals like this, yes, nouns can be accurately described as a sugar daddy that will give you money so you can go have fun and do whatever you want. If we want this impression to change, we should be focusing more effort on building public goods, building things we can be proud of, building lasting value for communities and not individuals.

perfect vwr

Although we understand some of the concerns being voiced here, we believe this is a proposal worth backing. Bob Burnquist, one of the most recognisable names in skateboarding history, he brings credibility, reach and influence. Many times, we have shared with guests that Bob owns a Noun, a relatable connection for most that highlights how diverse this DAO actually is. His name brings significant value, and we believe this will continue to do so with this funding. ⌐◨-◨

I'm a big fan of bringing Nouns into all different cultures, and skateboarding is one of the best imo. I think the timing with the biography series is great and we should see some iconic content from this while supporting a legend to continue doing his thing.

The idea of investing in private property is not exciting to me, if this was a public park open and available to everyone then we could consider that a public good and I would support depending on the budget and deliverables.

Go Bob Go! This proposal is a great way to elevate Nouns and bring credibility in a worldclass stage.

Hoping Nouns gets good visibility in the HBO series, as well as media coverage and social media content from pro skaters.

The budget is realistic!

bob has showed up, will show up, and continues to show up. this is a legendary moment, and will produce fun, rare, sensory, and cellular moments. it will take time, and will live on long via the mini doc and network of humans involved. thank you bob ⌐◨-◨

While I could appreciate contributing to the documentary, I find the three noggle obstacles lacklustre. I don't quite understand the necessity for nouns to cover private upkeep and upgrades. Moreover, the idea of purchasing naming rights for just one year seems rather budget-inflating for next to zero benefit
