i think NOUNSBR is great, love the energy and the people pushing it forward. but my reasoning stands closely w/ wilson's & krel's.
I really appreciate the proposers. They seem like earnest and enthusiastic Nouners, and I'm glad they have been responsive to feedback. But I am still voting against. The core of my reasoning hasn't changed since 285, as I don't think the core of the proposal has changed, either
I feel we have funded a lot of things focused on IRL activations recently (262, 257, 251, 218, 206, 197) and I am still sort of waiting for the dust to settle/a clear assessment of our ROI there. In particular, I don't feel a need to fund more NFT event sponsorship/attendance/activation type stuff.
I know there was some pushback on this ROI point: a Noun was sold due to last year's activation! I really like framing returns in terms of bringing in Noun buyers, so I appreciate this. But I am not totally sure how to measure: is the return just the value of that auction? Is it the surplus value vs. the trailing average auction? Or something else?
Even if we say the return should be counted as the total auction value, I feel compelled to stick with my feeling that spending on event sponsorships is not a good use of funds right now. It seems like there is an amazing Nouns community in Brazil and I would love to fund some crazy and fun stuff, perhaps like doubling down on the momentum around the Nounstacle?
Thanks again to the proposers! I hope my vote doesn't discourage their enthusiasm for Nouns.
nom nom Nouns in Brasil!
The community is Brasil is one of the strongest and most active communities in Nouns and love to see it continue to grow.
Prop #285 revealed some communication and consistency issues from this team, and as a result, I do not feel comfortable funding this. Comments from the previous prop pasted below.
——
I’m voting against this prop. This conference seems pretty generic as far as NFT/ tech conferences go and I question how much value Nouns will get out of a sponsored presence. That being said, communication from the conference and proposing team has been inconsistent at best.
One of the biggest issues I noticed was 1/3 of the prop money ($30k) would go to a conference “sponsorship” and I still can’t figure out what we would get for that sponsorship.
In the conference brochure there isn’t a $30k sponsorship package listed, although the team claims they were able to negotiate with “inner web3 circle” for a better deal.
The sponsorship packages listed in the provided brochure are: $12k, $20k, $40k, $80k, and $200k. So what do we get for our $30k sponsorship exactly? One member of the team mentioned they negotiated the $80k package down to $30k, another member said we are getting the $200k package for $30k. I’m still left trying to figure out what we get for a $30k sponsorship and how can we verify this?
I requested that the team provide an invoice or some documentation of this $30k sponsorship package and what comes with it, but as of this vote I have not received this.
There are also inconsistent metrics cited for expected number of attendees. In the prop text, the proposing team claims 30,000 attendees are expected, but then in provided conference graphics the claim is 40,000 attendees are expected.
I think there is enough inconsistency in statements from the team, provided graphics, and plans for spending our investment that we should not grant these funds.

(quick note: first time voting via the nouns agora proxy contract so not sure how the address resolves on other governance clients but this is noun40)
I was on the fence but erring on the side of supporting the NounsBR team / community here.
the team got the message loud and clear that the dao would prefer standalone unique local activations opposed to nft conference sponsorships, but seeing this prop back on the board it seems to be an event that is very important to the nouns br community and they've done everything they can to make this particular prop work so I'm changing my vote to a yes.
yeah perhaps we’ve done enough conferences, but not every market is the same. brazil are at a different point in their adoption curve than most voter locales. their political and economic climate is different too. as founder of a dao where a third of members are brazilian, i have witnessed passion similar to what i felt when i first found crypto. let’s give this market the chance we’ve had in our own. this crew always over deliver and their concept for the skate simulator is giving me “opstacle” vibes. excited to see the excitement around nouns in a key market at an important stage in its development.
This proposal is important to help cement and grow Nouns presence in the passionate community that is Brazil. Again I see this is as more than just sponsoring an NFT event. Nouns will get massive exposure, not only to the web3 community, but people in general across many cities.
Most of my other arguments for the last proposal stand, only now the DAO is getting even better value. https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9
I dont feel good about supporting this type of event. I don't think its an effective or interesting way of spreading nouns.
On the other hand, i admit that i don't understand the Brazilian nouns community enough (how it came to be, how it grows, etc) to confidently vote against.
Happy to support the team in other ways in the future.
Hey guys, I am the proposer of 295 and builder of the skatable Noggles for I ❤ XV event, AKA Vlad / sktbrd.eth. I am representing a great group of builders that started to build on Nouns after NFT.Rio prop 98. Including JP, Bob Burnquist, Guiriba, Lucas Santiago and others. Read the list of builders in the prop.
After this first explanation and gathering of nouns community in NFT.Rio many things happened please check and understand where all this comes from -> https://i.imgur.com/P10GPfy.jpg
Please read this image and the new disclamer of the proposal changes accordinly with the community feedback. We lowered the sponsorship package, adapted the metaverse action and we are collaborating with aubtoshi for merch, the proposal is 55% cheaper but as Nounish as it can be. We made everything possible to make this happen, would be just SAD to all of us if it didnt.
This is not just an event. With the event coming, we had the chance to prepare a great OOH media operation, and we created this great package of proliferation, onboarding and celebration. Nouns is already displayed in airports in the moment I am typing this comment. And Bob Burnquist, one of the founders and speakers, will be explaining nouns for thousand of people in the event and also in broadcast TV like he did yesterday.
Among other great achievements like bringing Van Gogh, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jacksons pieces sold in NFTs to the eyes of 5000 kids from G10 favelas project that will be brought to the expo with the help of Sao Paulo city mayor. Which we have full support during and after the event to boost our public goods side of it, handled by SkateCuida Institute please check :

NFT.Brasil is already planned to happen 3 years in a row its safe to say that this more than an event it is a movement started mostly by the ⌐◨-◨.br community.
Everything we did so far has been working and proliferating, you can feel and also check the numbers. Most of the biggest views and engagements comes from Brazil because what we decided to do with the noggles.
Numbers from BR community in Nounish media:

Some of you guys are not into sponsoring NFT conferences right now, our timing is different in the 3rd world folks, we NEED this to happen, i am asking to take a look on our flawless building history and trust us, we know what we are doing, this is what we need, right now.
Sorry if its not a perfect english text, I am writing this gpt-less from my heart.
Let Brazil Surprise Nouns Once Again 🇧🇷⌐◨-◨ 🇧🇷
It's important to support our teams who are proliferating and spreading Nouns to new subcultures. More important than arbitrary positions like "I don't support NFT conference sponsorships". In fact this is one of those sponsorships that will result in positive returns, creating more Nouns fans and motivate the Nouns/Gnars Brazil team to continue to do great work. This entire effort is oozing with Nounish authenticity. Nouns is an infinite artwork and this event provides a canvas for this prolific community to create more art.
The NounsBR team remains committed to delivering an exceptional encounter with NFT.Brasil. To achieve this, we have made adaptations to Proposal 285 based on two key considerations:
Addressing community requests: We have carefully taken into account the feedback and incorporated changes accordingly.
Working within time constraints: We have evaluated what is feasible within the given timeframe and made adjustments.
We already sent the sponsors to the first wave of Eletromidia 00H activation. We still have time to phase 2 and 3 of this activation described in this document. That includes 78 airport screens, 41 commercial buildings spots with 405 screens and more. Over 1 million impressions, we expect great outcomes from this activation)
Lower the Metaverse Activation: After considering community feedback, we have decided to lower the Metaverse Activation from the proposal.*
Scaling down the lounge to a booth: In response to community feedback on the sponsorship price, we have transformed the lounge into a booth. Additionally, we have adjusted the sponsorship package to align with the revised offering.**
Collaboration with Aubtoshi for merchandise: Instead of producing our own merchandise, we have decided to collaborate with Aubtoshis and feature their pre-made merchandise.
By incorporating these changes the proposal addresses community's concerns while still delivering an extraordinary event experience fulfilling the Nouns community expectations.
OBS*:Nouns building token, Noggles and Some 3D avatars will be airdroped to the community, its done anyways we gotta use it :)
OBS**: Instead of having 3 people taking care of the Lounge we are going to create booth shifts and also reduce the costs with personal
Nouns leads the NFT movement in Brazil thanks to its community, but we are just getting started. We are proposing a huge Sao Paulo city takeover starting in NFT.Brasil event.
Our goal is to achieve a massive and innovative onboarding experience for all attendees, and to do so, we will be present in five strategic areas throughout the event journey. These include the NFT Exhibition, Speaker Sessions, Booth, Metaverse, and Street Gallery (Eletromedia OOH advertising).
NFT.Brasil is a pioneering conference celebrating the cutting-edge advancements and possibilities of the NFT world that is set to take place in Sao Paulo city, Brazil on June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2023.
NFT.Brasil is performed by the same organizers of NFT.Rio, Nouns Community builders (the same people behind Proposals #142, #118 #98) in partnership with MAAC Hub.
Builders:
We want to bring Nouns to NFT.Brasil. The event is expected to attract over 30,000 individuals. The venue is the iconic Bienal, which is a true masterpiece of contemporary design, and is a premier cultural destination in Brazil.
Get ready to witness an exciting fusion of art, technology, business, networking and innovation at NFT.Brasil, a pioneering conference that is all set to take place at Bienal, an iconic venue in heart of Sao Paulo. The event promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience that brings together digital artists, web3 builders, art enthusiasts, business leaders from outside Web3 to learn and connect new opportunities.
The mockup video gives you a sneak peek of what's to come: click here to watch.
Bienal was designed by the legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and was first opened in 1951 to host the São Paulo Art Bienal, which is one of the world's most prestigious art exhibitions.
Hosting NFT.Brasil conference at the Bienal is a jump from traditional events and a testament to the venue's reputation as a premier cultural destination, and it promises to be an ideal setting for the fusion of art and technology that is at the heart of the NFT movement.
The event is June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and will be divided into two areas. The NFT exhibition will showcase Brazilian and international artists, collections, projects, and DAOs. The second area will host talks and lectures, bringing the community together to discuss the technology and its impact on our present and future. With a combination of NFT art exhibitions and speaker sessions, the event expects to attract over 30,000 individuals seeking knowledge, connections, and business opportunities in the field. São Paulo is one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the world, making it the perfect backdrop for this exciting event.
Besides being a huge celebration of the Nouns community in Brazil and what we've been building for 9 months after NFT.Rio, and also being a great chance to bring new people on board, Nouns DAO will get:
For 20 days, NFT.Brasil will host the largest open-air NFT exhibition in the world. In partnership with Eletromedia, Brazil's leading Out of Home media company, NFT.Brasil will showcase artists' works throughout the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, and Fortaleza.
We want Nouns to be a part of this activation. Last year at NFT.Rio, the OOH media led the Nouns 367 sale bought by Sanuxo for 113.22 ETH.
The proposed package for this proposal aims 13 days of insertions in strategic points over the city of São Paulo, described as follows:
São Paulo is a global city, it's Brazil's highest GDP and the 10th largest in the world with a over 12 million residents. See bellow the distribution of Eletromidia Presence in Sao Paulo
NFT.Brasil is created a metaverse in either Cryptovoxels and Spatial, designed by the talented metarchitect Fabio Ema. During the four-day IRL event, everything will be broadcasted there. After that, the NFT.Brasil team will keep it active for three months with online events, and the community will be able to use it as they see fit, forever.
Make sure to watch the full video!
When we say take over São Paulo, we mean it. After prop 142 lots of relevant unpredictable things happen. In a meeting with Bob Burnquist the São Paulo MAYOR got nounified when checking NFT.Brasil Metaverse for the first time using SkateCuida institute VR headset 👇 (not to mention random TV exposure)
Aubtoshi is an exciting addition to the lineup of main stage speakers at the upcoming NFT.Brasil event. As a highly influential figure in the Nouns community, Aubtoshi's presentation is sure to be a highlight of the event. Her expertise and experience within the Nouns ecosystem will provide valuable insights for attendees, while her engaging speaking style and natural charisma are sure to captivate the audience.
We'll also have a builders panel with Nouns BR members such as JP, Guiriba, Debussy, Vlad and others. They will tell their stories within the ecosystem and invite the audience to join the Nouns community.
NFT.Brasil is excited to announce that the upcoming exhibition will feature an exclusive art display by Nouns, alongside other highly respected collections such as Crypto Punks, Doodles and of course innovative navite brazilian collections. As one of the featured collections, Nouns will have a prominent position in the exhibition, offering visitors a chance to explore the ecosystem and engage with Nouns team.
Building community, Every Day, Forever
This event is not only a celebration of our achievements so far, but also a unique opportunity to showcase Nouns brand to millions of people across Brazil's largest cities for several weeks. As the biggest NFT event in the country, we have the chance to onboard thousands of new community members and take Nouns community in Brazil to the next level.
NFT.Brasil is going to bring more than 5,000 students from public schools with a unique 3-day opportunity to explore the world of digital art. This event not only offers a chance to appreciate the beauty of this art form but also serves as a platform for driving social impact and fostering community development. Alongside Skate Cuida, G10 Favelas, a group of social impact leaders and entrepreneurs from the Favelas, plays a vital role in this initiative.
