# UH Jesters Meeting Notes 2-9-22

From Last Week:
- First order of businesss is getting paid. Do we make a jest or just go for it?
    - We need to shift the budget to account for additional async work
    - Should be defined by value add rather than hourly.
    - 4/hrs/week x 5 Jesters @ $75/hr x 8 weeks of initial experiment = $12k
- Constitution
    - [Started a doc](https://hackmd.io/ttHCmiVgT7O55X1FhYNODw)
    - [Constitution as Lore offered by plor](https://hackmd.io/@uhjesters/B1fNFMw0Y)
    - Is there a difference between a UH constitution and a document for the Jesters?
    - Purpose is to poke fun at the DH/UH constitution while raising serious/important philsohopical issues.
    - TW outlines the narrative of how DH is drafting their own constitution.
- How to turn it into a performance?
    - Should happen publically
    - Jester orchestrate the performance of the creation
    - Sourced from the UH community
    - Will this interfere with the UH reboot? We want to raise awareness but not cause too much trouble.
    - Are the stakes too low to create a meaningful effect? What is the payoff? Answer: to expose the issues related to the process of writing a constitution.
    - Involves exaggeration
- A dualing constitution:
    - Create two different versions that are very different, based on a schism in the group that creates opposition
    - Morph the two documents back and forth
    - Constitution vs manifesto
    - Record a video meeting where we are performatively arguing, in anonymous masks representing different personnas from the DAO space
    - Self-imposed contraints: 1hr of prep and 1hr performance
- Is the deliverable the performance of writing the doc or the doc itself?
    - The performance is the focus!
- Can we write a constitution while already having a constitution? Does this incite a revolution? Related to the ammending of the article of the confederation.
- Put a pin in the constitution idea until the week after ETH Denver, to use the opportunity to begin another jest next week.
- The jest for next week: **Jesters Reboot**
    - You can't put someone into a DAO without their consent. Giving them shares doesn't induce participation. Opt-in process is more aligned with how DAOs work. Goes against the airdrop idea.
    - Jesters DAO that makes proposal for funding
    - Another DAO that serves as governance with ownership over the Jesters DAO, composed of fake/random addresses that are unaware of being members.
    - Second DAO is composed of DAOs rejected from the legitimate UH reboot... the land of forgotten toys DAO.
    - The jest should not take up too much time from the UH delegate meeting.

Next Steps:
1. Spin up a Jester DAO.
2. Make the necessary changes to the forum post.
3. Put the funding proposal on-chain.
4. Spin up a second Jester DAO to transfer our funds to after the changes to the forum proposal.
