  Content: 100 % in support of this. See AIP- 96 and AIP- 230 for details on our past sponsorships of web 3 events (ETHGlobal), courtesy of our former Special Council member @maariab . I believe @BoredApeG and @veratheape have spoken at various events around the world about ApeCoin as well. Based on my experience with ETH SF + providing logistical support for other events around the globe, there’s a lot of “guerilla marketing” ways to stand out more and make the most out of our presence at NFT Paris. Side events are great too, Vera has a lot of experience with this. Thanks for starting up this conversation @MisterHype! -Halina.eth :blue_heart:

• @Halina.eth - Special Council Nomination 01/2024 by Halina.eth - No Role
  Posted on: Nov. 28, 2023, 1:58 a.m.
  Content: Thank you for the great questions @foxSlightly ! foxSlightly: If elected, what is the one item you feel passionate about and would like to see accomplished during your tenure within the DAO? Making ApeCoin DAO the first choice for talented builders. Currently our reputation is held back by length of time to approve a proposal, time to funding, and low acceptance rate of AIPs. These metrics can all be improved or worked around- empowering microgrants & alternate funding methods through initiatives such as AIP- 124 and AIP- 209 , working with legal counsel to ensure a less adversarial contract negotiation process for authors of approved AIPs, and highlighting education and support to authors on common pitfalls + less intuitive parts of the process (for example: Delegate Ambassador Program, AIP- 354 ), are a few of the changes that come to mind for supporting builders. foxSlightly: What is an area of expertise that you will be bringing to the table? I’ve always been a top achiever, whether at academics, leadership roles, or learning on the fly in high stress, high stakes environments. But my most treasured skill is my ability to build relationships and cultivate the talent that lies within each of us. Building trust & community is my strongest asset. Even in this forum, I’ve been humbled to see the many expressions of mutual respect & trust our DAO members have built with me over time. My experiences listening to builders’ concerns, encouraging hundreds of community members’ projects and contributions to the DAO, and designing opportunities for builders use their talents for the betterment of ApeCoin through my role by your side on the Thank Ape Board (our Nouns Prop House numbers include 8 rounds, 300 + proposals, and 80 + projects selected to implement) have demonstrated my ability to distill connections and relationships into tangible change for our DAO. I’m excited to continue supporting builders and cultivating a growth-oriented environment, both internally and externally. foxSlightly: Are there any factors in your life that may limit your time and ability to serve? (Running a business, extensive traveling, secret agent for the SEC, etc…) No. I am willing and able to devote my full time and attention to solely advancing the interests of our DAO, and have done so since September 2022 . foxSlightly: What is your least favorite thing right now with our DAO in its current state? Currently, the trust in ApeCoin DAO is fragmented. Our DAO’s very birth coincided with a community schism over staking. In too many conversations, assumptions of good faith are lacking. Even recently, the GWG stewards made the decision to sunset the Ape Assembly initiative due to debates lacking good faith, and the ensuing lack of participation. The narrative in the DAO for a long time has been “us vs. them”- big vs. small voters, authors vs. against votes, those with pure $ape vs. those with Yuga assets. With the question of ApeChain(s) on the horizon, this is especially the time to shift our narrative. We all wants what’s best for the DAO, informed by our diverse experiences and perspectives. Productive discussions hinge on the foundation of mutual respect and an openness to new information. With the biggest decision of the DAO in 1 . 5 years on the horizon, it’s time to unite over our common goal and get to work. foxSlightly: Currently, many of the proposals are determined by large wallets, there are many grumblings about it though I stand neutral on this; if possible, would you change this? and if so, how and why? I don’t believe targeting large wallets will lead to a desired solution. Aside from the question of passing these governance changes in the DAO, methods like quadratic voting or caps on voting power are too vulnerable to sybil attacks and workarounds as long as KYC is not introduced. Large votes are often composed of delegations, and thus an opportunity to include holders in the voting process who otherwise wouldn’t have the time to vote. Overall, instead of directing our energies against those who act on their faith in the ApeCoin ecosystem, we should work to encourage more participation, a plurality of delegations, and more consistent community wide dialogue on key issues. foxSlightly: Will you be an active participant in the DAO even if unelected? Yes. Just as I have since September last year, and I will additionally continue to serve in my role on the Thank Ape Board regardless of the results of this election. . Thank you again for asking Fox! Appreciate you & the insights you bring to our DAO. -Halina.eth :blue_heart:

  Content: Gm @bigbull, thank you for the kind comments!! I too have been glad to see you join + blaze a trail in the DAO these past months. To answer your questions: What's being done right in our DAO: Big picture, we’re moving in the right direction. We’ve balanced DAO structure with leadership + decentralization, established a global presence in the wider web 3 ecosystem, and several big proposals have been passed as our DAO reaches a shared realization that we need to include talent and builders from other communities, and expand the base of ApeCoin DAO members. Expanding on each of these: the WG 0 Stewards (AIP- 196 ) established the foundation for the Working Groups + Stewards system (AIP- 239 ) that exists today, establishing a balance of specialized leadership with decentralization in our DAO structure. It was an honor for me to be elected and serve as be part of this cohort of inaugural Stewards in the DAO. Our former Special Council member @maariab established a relationship between ApeCoin DAO & ETHGlobal (a network of hackathons and conference events spanning the wider Ethereum ecosystem) through AIP- 96 in 2022 and AIP- 230 in 2023 . Special Council member @veratheape represented the DAO to the wider web 3 ecosystem in several of these sponsorships, including for ETHTokyo, ETHParis, and other community events around the world. AIP- 297 by former Special Council member @yatsiu sets the stage to bring in stakeholders from our wider community through the inclusion of Mocaverse, Cool Cats, World of Women, Pudgy Penguins, and Koda NFTs in the form of an ApeCoin sister DAO. AIP- 304 by community member @Machibigbrother does the same with Punks and other notable NFT collections. AIP- 317 is a shining example brought forth by the current Governance Stewards of an inclusive AIP, going to vote on Snapshot with links to the proposal’s full details in multiple international languages. As someone who’s consistently advocated for inclusive timezones, attention to detail regarding language barriers, and broadly diversity & inclusion, it’s been an beyond exciting to witness these transformations in the DAO firsthand. Finally, want to touch on a keystone of my platform around supporting builders- really proud as a Board member of Thank Ape (AIP- 124 ) to see the hundreds of builders we’ve empowered across the ApeCoin ecosystem, as well as the positive reputation it’s built for ApeCoin in the broader web 3 world & the new talent that’s been brought into the DAO through our microgrants. What we could improve in the DAO: 3 key categories we must focus on are further empowering builders, building ApeCoin’s reputation in the wider web 3 ecosystem, and automation of processes to free up those serving the DAO to do more. Empowering builders involves many pieces. Many factors can make our DAO a more attractive choice for top builders: shortening length of time from AIP Idea to Snapshot vote, setting expectations around proposal amounts, shortening time to receive funding after an AIP passes, scaling back intensity of negotiation required when authors sign with the foundation, increasing the accessibility of voters’ feedback and access to direct conversation, and creating new avenues for builders to create with the DAO aside from the main AIP process. We build a reputation through industry events, representation, and collaboration with other key players in the ecosystem. We must increase our visibility at broader industry events such as ETH SF, Consensus, and Token 2049 . Build relationships with leaders from Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, and beyond. Study from the successes and failures of other DAOs like Nouns, Decentraland, or the Optimism Collective. Go further with what we have with automation. Currently there’s many portions of roles that can be automated or made more efficient with AI and current technology. For example, we can free up meeting notetaking time with AI notetaking software for internal + external meetings, especially as the numbers of active Stewards + Working Groups grows. There many such parts of the AIP process which could become more automated. Thanks again for your thoughtful questions BigBull!! -Halina.eth :blue_heart:

• AIP-379: Thank APE - Phase II: Amplifying a Movement by Halina.eth - No Role
  Posted on: Nov. 25, 2023, 1:03 p.m.
  Content: As a Thank APE Board member since before Season 1 , it’s been an honor to witness and help drive the impact Thank Ape has had on the community. My time working with the ThriveCoin team has also given me insight into how this team acts with speed towards strategic goals & learns from each deployment to create more impact. Not only does Thank APE reward DAO contributors for their hard work, but it also brings in fresh talent from our broader ecosystem. These individuals become core contributors, igniting new ideas and infusing optimism with their fresh perspectives. Leading deployments like Thank Ape’s grant rounds with Nouns Prop House has been immensely fulfilling. Seeing builders uplifted and empowered through Thank Ape’s recognition and support has been truly inspiring. ApeCoin DAO thrives by supporting its builders. Thank APE has proven its power and impact. Let’s continue evolving together to empower even more builders! -Halina.eth :blue_heart:
