Nouns DAO

Consistent, well-argued, and nonconformist vote reasons (VWRs) provide a cornerstone for functional Nouns governance and I believe we should recognize and celebrate when voters — and especially delegates — do it exceedingly well. I propose we reward Drew Coffman with Noun 877 for his contributions. [1]

A word on incentives and setting precedents The primary goal of this proposal is to recognize Drew’s efforts and signal both to him and the community that his work is valuable.

Secondly, my hope is that it sets a soft precedent that the DAO recognizes, and is willing to reward, participants for excellence in governance. Here, VWRs serve as the primary ”Proof of Work” and Revotes is a good trailing indicator. [2]

Notes: [1] I believe there are other voters who are worthy recipients of Nouns for their efforts in governance but gotta start somewhere, and Drew is the most recent example.

[2] This proposal does not aim to set a hard precedent that we should reward Nouns for governance eg. at a specific cadence or when voters meet certain criteria.
