Synopsis: Samurai are the community engagement team for Sushi and serve to build trust between users, community members, and Sushi DAO + products.

The primary goal of this proposal is to reinstate the Samurai role which was terminated via the passing of the SMSP-0 Frog Nation proposal. The supplementary goal is to revamp the role of the Samurai to meet the needs of the community after a successful first iteration of the Samurai. Our proposal is based on feedback & learnings from the initial proposal passed on Aug 17, 2021.

TLDR: This proposal will reinstate the Samurai role and formally define the responsibilities of Sushi’s community engagement team. The Samurai nominated are @pegbit , @maka , @rsk, @Trudahamzik and @Zapacheenie

Going forward, the Samurai will focus on:

1. Customer support: Supporting Sushi users across the entire product suite with 24/7/365 1:1 customer support & scalable product guides & knowledgebase.
2. Community champions: Bring transparency to the inner workings of sushi with Sushi wide reporting & the establishment of an always accessible, always updated data room for key Sushi information.
3. Community engagement: Building tools focused on brand awareness that is not explicitly covered by Marketing, BD, & Brand teams.

The annual cost for the entire Samurai team will be $480,000 plus an annual 20,000 $SUSHI in multisig. This represents less than .04% of Sushi’s market capitalization to ensure Sushi has a dedicated 24/7/365 community engagement team.
