[APPROVED] ZEN Bikers Guild - August 2021 Budget Proposal

Creatives Creatives DAO
,
1

Hello

This is the first proposed budget request for the Zen Bikers Guild to cover August 2021

The plan is to cover start-up expenses and some specific items for the month. The DAO has been established at Sputnik V1. At the moment there is only one council member, but this should change in very short order.

1] Guild Mission Statement & Strategic Plan

Writing & publishing a formal document detailing Guild philosophy, strategy, aims and targets and then publishing it on Medium and other platforms.

The Idea is to create a detailed and clear call to arms that explains the Guild for both marketing purposes and oversight.

There are no immediate plans for a Guild website at this stage, and this strategy replaces that in the short term.

(The Guild Strategy document will however form the basis of the website content when it does launch.)

100N

2] Guild Identity

Logo & other identifiers -

Development of a Guild identity, and reproduction into a cohesive set of vector-based brand identifiers.

100N

3] Social Media

Twitter & Instagram -

Set-up - 10N per account

Monthly Management - 50N per account

Telegram & Discord - This is not a priority in month one. If required it will be budgeted going forward.

Total = 120N

4} Event & physical meeting costs

The aim is to have at least one physical event in August, and to seek out partnerships with local creative groups identified in the Strategic Plan.

This will involve a number of physical meetings and travel. Payouts will be made at the month end based upon submitted activities and costing.

200N

5) Mintbase Smart Contract / Store

Opening a ZBG store on mintbase for Guild initiatives.

8N

6) Onboarding

The plan is to set up NEAR wallets for new Guild members with 5N each.

An initial fund of 50N for 10 members that will be added to when needed.

50N

7) Community Facilitation by Council

150N

Total Requested = 728N

Hey @zeitwarp, thank you for your budget. This looks like a good, strong start for the Zen Bikers Guild!

For the min. 1 physical event you’re planning on happening this month, what sort of event are you considering? E.g. are you looking at hosting a preliminary Guild meet-up or having a physical presence for the Zen Bikers Guild at an event hosted by another organization/conference in the area (presumably always with the main aim to recruit new members)? What’s your event plan?
I don’t think we’ve seen a combined event + physical meeting costs budget line item yet, mainly because if you’re hosting your own event there are more expenses involved usually, so looking to see how much of the 200 N you’re envisioning will be broken down between the two areas.

Hey @zeitwarp, thank you for taking the time to get this funding request in.

Seems like the Zen bikers guilds is looking to accomplish a lot over the month of August. Definitely looking forward to digging into the retrospective at the end of the month.

I’ll second @mecsbecs’s comments and add that it would be great to have more links added to this proposal as assets get created over the month.

Changing the status of this proposal to [APPROVED]. Please feel free to submit a payout proposal to the Creatives SputnikDAO for 728 N to the Zen bikers DAO as a next step :ok_hand:t4:.

Hi @mecsbecs
It’s difficult to be completely precise at this point, but the idea is that I will be having a number of physical meetings between now and the end of the month with prospective partners/members/council memebers…and then organising an informal first meet up of “interested parties” before the month is out.
I don’t see this a formal Guild-hosted event for the first month…with associated costs.
thnx
