Proposal date:

09/13/2023

Summary:

Extend Ze_Boubs retainer for 12 months until 2024, September 29th. Reduce working hours from 120hrs/month to 100hrs/month, at 30$/hr rate.

How have you already contributed to the DAO?

Started volunteering at early DAO stages: became a mod late 21. Been in charge of creation/management/security of both studio and DAO discords since then. Creation/ratification of the governance process with the gov team. Shephered dozens of proposals through governance. I’m on retainer since April 22. My tasks were originally described in **GM 9.1 : hire Ze_Boubs as the DAO secretary/CM. Board member of the gmDAO off-chain entity as the Secretary. In charge of supervising members subscriptions and KYC to the association, scheduling and hosting General Assemblies, writing minutes. Manager of gm.studio’s instagram account, which includes working with the featured artists on appealing visuals, share content and key details around drops. Keep a beautiful, clean profile feed.

How do you want to contribute to the DAO going forward ?

My position includes several tasks & duties.

Manage Discord community : moderation and administration of both DAO and studio discords , handle support and keep resources up to date all year long. Make myself fully available for crunch time around drops. Accompany artists from day 1 to post-drop community interactions on Discord.

Manage gm.studio instagram account while it’s in-house managed.

Manage DAO community / Secretary tasks: Maintain and promote a vibrant community and its initiatives, create visuals to highlight processes and increase participation. Capture feedback from members and make sure their sentiment is heard. Help to structure the dao into a self-sustainable organization, create effective processes (applications, how to join a work group, how to require funding). Keep track of every community initiative and how it’s going, help members go through the dao processes and accompany them to create work group/request funding. Track important updates/needs across the DAO. Make a quick weekly overall summary to keep members in touch with what is going on, what are the newest community initiatives, how they can contribute.

Track General Assembly members applications, organize the General Assembly meetings at least twice a year and more if requested. Write general assembly meetings reports and make it publicly available to members.

Governance/side tasks : Ensure funding cycle calendar, DAO Proposal, contributors list and all associated Governance process pages in Notion are up to date. Shepherd proposals through the governance process by watching temperature checks in Discord, publish and alert about Snapshots. Initiate governance process updates when needed.

What i want to implement looking forward : work on switching our DAO governance to our own website/external forum, using a web3 native, token gated forum for DAO governance. Have a delegation dashboard available on our own website, that will allow people to pick a delegate based on freely available information, stats and intro.

Specifics:

I estimate the average workload to be around 25 hrs/week, which is slightly lower than the previous 30 hrs/week. I don’t expect the NFT market to pick up significant pace in the next 12 months, which would require increased presence.

However, i’m this time asking for a 12 month renewal. I think i’ve proven my value overtime and would not want to keep myself in a position where i can’t have more than 6 months visibility.

Risks:

Impact on treasury. Default of my obligations under the terms of the agreed retainer.

Payout amount:

Part-time commitment for 100hours/month. 3000$ distributed monthly over a 12 -months period, totalizing 36000$.
