Maty has been diligently committed to Nouns for many years, often working behind the scenes where more public-facing initiatives may overshadow his efforts. As someone I communicate with almost daily about Nouns, I can attest to his deep care for our community and its future success.

Maty consistently seeks ways to add value to our network. His contributions extend beyond supporting the execution of various proposals; they also encompass his numerous creative endeavors, including many nounish rugs and an impressive array of art. He has been one of my closest confidants while building Nouns Esports, and I know he has helped shape many other proposals that did not formally bear his name.

Welcome to the DAO, my friend!

lunari: +1 jesscas, LET HIM BE DAT DAWG - would love to see the NounsDAO Newsletter take off!

jesscas: First of all, this is super cool! I didn't know about either of these things, and I did find myself wondering at one point, "what happens after having a prop passes, who collects the deliverables?" It seems like Maty has been the one sniffing the trails and finding out what happens to everything.

in short, LET HIM BE THAT DAWG!!

katalyyst: VOTE FOR because it's always cool to see affluent nounish contributors be rewarded for their hard work for the community!

ashe: +1

onter: Voting for yes, because it seems he keeps up and gathers all the info of current proposals and also has it all in one accessible spot. Shows he is committed to this since doing it for so long, and even had a time where he was doing it for no pay. He is basically a news paper for Nouns proposals

⌐◨-◨

I use matys tracker all the time... Keep up the good work!

Beyond the newslette and the work of tracking props, Maty provides a great source of instutional memory for Nouns. Glad to see he wants to continue this important effort.

+++ accountability, tracking, and visibility

Maty’s work for nouns has been consistent and valuable since almost the beginning. Nobody else is doing the kind of accountability work he is doing, and his newsletter is also extremely helpful for staying up to date on Nouns— we use it at TNS to make sure we don’t miss anything in our Round Up videos, etc. Very deserving of a renewed contract, and also very deserving of a noun as a retro reward for his contributions thus far. <3

Easy yes. Agree with lilfrog that the proposal tracking needs its own dedicated site. Proptracker.wtf is not up to date but it is open source and built using Maty's data. Maty: you can have it if you want and I can show you around, not a difficult learning curve.

Enthusiastic yes. Welcome Nouner!

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.

With 27 votes for, 1 against and 5 abstentions, Nouncil is voting to for Maty to continue his work. Supporters emphasized Maty's valuable contributions, particularly in tracking proposals and facilitating the return of unspent funds, which has had a significant impact. They also appreciated the accessible and informative newsletter that helps keep the community and their families informed about Nouns' activities. The strong support reflects confidence in Maty's ongoing efforts to provide transparency and valuable insights into the Nouns ecosystem. Despite a few abstentions and one vote against, the consensus is that Maty's work is crucial and should continue.

borg00000 | "Tracking proposals and helping return funds obviously important (I just saw $75k or so returned a couple weeks ago due to Maty prop tracking). Maty clearly a long terms player and I also enjoy the newsletter, it is a great thing to forward onto my family and friends, digestible high level info surfacing some of the vast happenings at Nouns."

benbodhi | "YES. Maty does valuable work and I am a big supporter. I appreciate being able to look at all the past prop data in this format and hope to see that continue."

maty <3

I think what Maty does is very important for the DAO, he also has formed relationships with the builders from the start of their proposals, so for the most part he has direct access to them whereas someone new trying to take over this role would not have. Also love that he's leaning into Farcaster by posting the newsletter as a frame via paragraph. Easy yes vote for me.

All of Maty's work is essential to the DAO. He's been here forever and consistently makes Nouns a better place. Hell ya. HELL YA!

Maty++

Love this type of work -- my only ask is that I don't really follow the newsletter and would much prefer more effort into the notions tables that are used to track proposals. I could even imagine seeing the data presented in a better way, like an entire site dedicated to retroactively reviewing past proposals and leaving feedback. I think this is what propdates was meant to be but didn't quite make it fully there?

Really like the idea of aligning incentives around returning funding to the DAO. Tracking updates is hard work, but convincing someone to return funding to the DAO is even harder and there should be a special tier of reward for that.

Thanks Maty!

yes! Nouns funds lots of great work and that work needs more visibility

⌐◨-◨

Maty is the nouner we need! Everyone needs a blood hound ;)

Keeping up with whats going on is crucial! Love this.

big YES! with tracking proposals, Maty took on the unshiny work that nobody else wants to do.

imo a different (and slightly more aggressive?) incentive would be more appropriate and potentially help make the "tracking proposals" part redundant - e.g. Maty gets 20% of the funds that are returned to the DAO through his support. And for every 15ETH that are returned, he gets a Noun from the treasury. a version of the above could be considered for the next round.

Maty is very important to nouns. He's doing all the behind-the-scenes work that most people won't do. He deserves a noun for sure.

So a definite yes from me. :)

Massive yes from me. I really appreciate the work Maty has done in this area. And I thin kit is very valuable to the DAO. And he should def have a noun imo.
