Proposal: Hire a community lead to work on Nouns DAO for 3 months

Summary
The Nouns DAO should fund community lead Noun 22 for a 3 month residency to further the development of Nouns DAO and its community. In this capacity Noun 22 will continue and expand upon the work he’s already done for the DAO:

Scheduling and leading weekly town hall calls
Named inaugural “Noun of the Month” by the Nounders
Acting as a member of the DAO’s Small Grants and Retroactive Funding group
Represented Nouns as a member of the Emergence NFT project group
Helping to welcome and onboard new DAO members
Assisting with communications within the DAO
Being a public voice for the project on the Noun O’ Clock Twitter Spaces
Being active in the Discord to spur community engagement
Proliferating Nouns culture and awareness in his personal/professional lives

Details
The role of community lead is critical for a DAO, and I believe it’s a unique role in that it cannot be outsourced to a non-member. I have had the pleasure of meeting many Nouns DAO members in the last couple months (if we haven’t found a time to chat, please reach out) and it is awesome to be a part of a group of such cool and unique people.

For Nouns DAO to successfully execute on our vision, we need to be organized and engaged. It is critical that we develop an active and aligned community in which everyone feels they understand the mission, knows how they personally can contribute to the DAO, and are comfortable expressing their opinions in a friendly collaborative environment. By serving as community lead, one of my primary goals is to continue to strengthen our sense of shared purpose. I was initially drawn to this project because I believed there is something special going on here, and I will continue to work closely with all DAO members to push this project forward as we collectively explore what’s possible. This is an amazing experiment that we’re all fortunate to be a part of.

The initial proposal is for a 3 month residency, which may be extended via a follow up proposal if there is mutual interest. Payment will be put into escrow at proposal execution time and then deployed every 30 days pursuant to continued high performance.
