The Noun Square is a daily Twitter Spaces ritual celebrating Noun O' Clock (NOC) in a fun and engaging format. Spearheaded by Toady Hawk, Ser Noadz and Noun 142, administered by a talented committee of Nounish builders, and supported by a growing international community.
After a two week unpaid experiment, plus a one month funded trial (Prop 101), we believe we have proven our worth to the Nouns ecosystem, both as a daily touchpoint for the community, and as a powerful onboarding tool for Nouns-curious passers-by the world over. We are requesting funding to continue running and growing the show for the remainder of the 2022 calendar year.

We provide a live and engaged audience for builders to update the audience on the progress of their projects. This is a very effective way for builders to get attention to their work.
Through increased FOMO engagement, we have helped mint some truly beautiful Nouns (including an incredible triple Void run!)
We have given a daily POAP to attendees of The Noun Square every day since our inception. This is the purest use case for the protocol, and works well for us to incentivize people to attend our Twitter spaces, play FOMO live and participate in our contests.
Additionally, this has allowed us to feature the art of talented established artists like Ser Noadz, Sam Ellis, SuperTightWoody and Greta Grempllin, as well as giving exposure to talented new creators like 0xAprilia, Illustradora.eth and Leetlestar.
We also plan to continue to use the data from these POAP distributions in the future to do token-gated raffles and contests that reward past participants and strengthen our community.
We hope the above sections paint a clear picture of all the accomplishments our team has achieved over the past 6 weeks, meeting or exceeding all the engagement goals we set for ourselves in Prop 101.
The Purpose of this Proposal is to ask the DAO to fund our proven team for an additional 5 months, until the end of the calendar year, to do the following:
Our vision for TNS in the next 5 months:
Monthly Operations Costs:
We will continue with our "3C Model" of governance and accountability:
Core (Founding) Team (Responsible for Execution):
Toady Hawk
Noun 142
Ser Noadz
Council (Responsible for Decisions and Daily Direction)
Aubtoshi
Benbodhi
SuperTightWoody
RyanMac21
!Xargs
Sam Ellis
Maty.eth

Members of this committee may rotate depending on timezones, availability, etc. New incoming Committee members from APAC timezones will most probably include 0xigami, Goldy, Mr. Boney, Mintfaced, and more.
Anyone in our Discord and Twitter communities can join and participate in all our public channels to help with contest ideas, guest ideas, and more, and can apply to join the Organizing Committee at any time. We have forked Nouncil governance with procedures for adding/removing contributing committee members at any time.
The above organizational strategy (modeled loosely on Nouncil) allows us enough structure to execute on a daily basis, as well as enough flexibility to adapt to new timezones and other challenges as they may arise.
NOC happening during North American late night/early morning may have some impact on our attendance rate, although we have been attracting a sizable audience from Europe and Asia already (for example, during our recent 24H long Nouniversary Spaces, attendance never dropped below 100 even during NA non-peak hours.) Nonetheless, we think of this as an opportunity rather than a challenge:
We were funded for a trial and have surpassed all goals and metrics by a large margin, going above and beyond with initiatives such as the 24 hour Nouniversary Spaces.
We represent a group of committed Nounish builders with a good track record of success, and we are asking for the DAO's trust, as we lean into a very successful concept and continue to improve, grow and scale this new platform centred around the daily Noun O' Clock.
We believe that in a short time, The Noun Square has become the defacto watercooler of the Nounish ecosystem, as well as an impressive funnel for new Noun owners, artists and builders.
We are excited by how much more we can do if given a mandate to keep on building throughout the remainder of 2022.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to having you as a guest on the show one day soon!
