[ There are few things in the world that enjoy the love and attention given to sports and sporting activities in general.
90 percent of the world’s population enjoys at least one form of sports either through active participation or through viewing.
Statistics shows that in the united states alone 57.5 million people watched at least 1 digital sports content once in a month and this figure is projected to hit 90 million by 2025, this does not account for other countries globally and the lesser known sports events and activities.
Sports events like
Football
Basketball
Chess
Racing
Badminton
Volleyball
Tennis
Running and many others
Offers us a unique opportunity to amplify the harmony message.
Do we intend to spend millions of dollars like other projects did? No, instead we are adopting the bottom up approach .
Through research and contacts we will identify smaller events in different locations globally to work with.
The channels we will explore will include but not limited to
Sports events
Sports players
Sports teams
Sports Bulletins
Sports Newsletters
Sports Podcasts
Sports Magazines and publications
Sports Youtube channels
Sports Radio shows
E-sports and games
Athletes
Anything sports
We strongly believe that this effort will eventually lead to partnerships and some of the projects using/ deploying on the harmony blockchain]
MANDATE

Feature harmony.one on at least one sports magazine]
AT WHAT STAGE ARE WE?
we are currently at stage of council members and Governor and also set up of the multisig wallet which will be ready in the coming week.
we welcome feedback from the community towards making this Dao succeed
this is really good and impressive, it will help put harmony in front of sports lovers.
i will really like to be part of this , i can hold it down here in Africa , i am sending you a dm now @ricki001
why do i think this is a dao?
thanks for your time and questions ,
so we believe that dao is the most efficient and flexible way to approach this .
we will have a pool of people i;e Councillors and a governor which we will leverage on their experience, knowledge, ideas and creativity.
it helps maintain transparency and accountability.
How do i see this dao operating ?
some of the Councillors will focus on research and identifying online sports communities that we can open discussions with immediately.
some will focus on identifying sports teams and sports people to work with, this will also require people visiting and approaching team s in their localities if need be.
we will collectively decide the ones we believe will be the most cost effective and will yield maximum exposure.
we already researching and identifying a few places that will be valuable.
when we sponsor a sports team or individual, in addition to having harmony logo on their kits they will also mention or talk about harmony in their social media handles as well .
also note that each sports team / individual will meet some basic criteria
must have a social media account with sizeable followers/members.
must continue to talk about harmony for a defined period of time
and other things we are still considering , the councilors and governor will collectively decide and set the criteria s.
Love this approach , big sports fan and coach soccer club organiser I understand the pressures from the ground up organising these events and clubs associations. The dao can effectively streamline organisations to ensure safety of all measures , awesome
I have thought about this so much with local sports funding always being an issue and the decisions made by an individual rather than a party when so many individuals are effective by some decisions . From the bottom of any sport there are struggles but building a community and a dao ensures precision
councils will be putting in a max of 20 hours monthly at $75/hr = $1,500 / member
for 9 members = 1500*9 = $13,500 and for the 3 months , 13,500 *3 = $40,500
$15,000 will be the working funds which will be used to achieve the set out metrics for success , at the end of the 3 month term funds not used will be moved over to the next term.

should you guys need anything/contact from kuwait, i can also fill in the gap. i have worked as admin for a club and i also worked with a bunch of athlethes in the past
I would like to point our attention to “The Mighty Six” of the DAO Guidlines. . .
NECESSARY ATTRIBUTES:
Mandates: 3 mandates. Specific. Precise. Each mandate to have two sub-clauses to provide further clarification on these mandates. All three mandates and their sub-clauses should fit within a tweet.
EXAMPLES:
Developer DAO:
Support - Resolve daily issues on forums & channels, drive weekly meeting agenda Bounties - Prioritize bugs & features with task management & contributor retention Advocacy - Hold workshops & events, content marketing with talks & blogs
Basic DAO:
Timesheets - Help contributors track work hours & deliverables in public Payroll - Setup paid challenges, wallets, streaming payments & taxes Reviews - Follow up performance feedback for bonus or penalty, rage quits, or kicks.
Deliverables: Looking forward for the next 3 months only, identify key deliverables directly tied to the mandates of your DAO that you will be focused on accomplishing. Be specific. Chart, in steps, how you will get from where you start to delivering your goal.
Metrics: Quantifiable and verifiable. List the “stretch goal” metrics that you and your DAO will be using to measure your impact in furthering your mandate. Low bars of success indicate a certain level of disengagement, while high bars and stretch goals indicate confidence in yourself and your community to accomplish that about which you are passionate.
Signatories: List the 9 signatories that will start your DAO. NOTE: As we have said in the DAO Funding Guidelines (Guidelines for Harmony Grants) being a signatory is not about having a part-time job. Think about your three mandates and try to find passionate individuals that have the skillset and expertise to help you accomplish those goals.
Gnosis Safe Multisig Wallet: Establish a multisig wallet that requires 5 out of the 9 governors to approve the disbursement of funds.
Schedule the Next Community Vote: DAOs are not kingdoms. The initial signatories do not rule by divine right, nor are they supposed to be “Signatories-for-Life”. DAOism is about community. About passionate participation in projects. It is vital that we have a regular rotation of community members experiencing the responsibility of managing the DAOs treasury.
In my opinion, you have 4 of the 6 criteria. I would like to see stronger deliverables and metrics. The deliverables should qualify the mandates, and the metrics should quantify the deliverables.
I would also like to point our attention to an updated aspect to the Guidelines which is the MVD, or the, Minimum Viable DAO:
The Minimally Viable DAO - Milestone Payments:
As we have learned in the Launch Grant program, it is best to create milestone payments. In that spirit, we have studied the DAOs that have been successful both in Harmony and on other chains and have determined three vital components for success. We refer to this as a “ Minimally Viable DAO ” and will pay out the bootstrap grant according to the following:
Create a Multisig Contract ($15K) : This milestone is covered in step 5 of the “Mighty Six” above. This is required as all assets of a DAO are shared amongst the community. Without a multisig, this would be impossible. All withdrawals from the DAO multisig should have a matching community vote to approve that withdrawal. This is how a DAO Shares Assets .
Hold a Community Vote for Multisig Signatories ($20K): 9 signatories will be selected out of a field of 12 candidates. Over 100 community members vote. The role of the signatory is to approve transactions out of the DAO multisig wallet in accordance with the community vote. These signatories rotate every 3 months based on a community vote. The responsibility for the success and failure of the DAO is a shared responsibility for all of the members and this is the milestone we look for as proof.
Social Token ($15K): All DAOs need to share a common interest, something that binds them together. By issuing a social token, you can identify your community, your tribe, your teammates and co-conspirators. A social token and an NFT are not the same thing. Social tokens are similar to membership cards, but they operate on-chain. They are fungible so that one is the same as another and - if the DAO wishes to sell them, rather than issue them - they all are at the same price. By deploying a social token, the DAO has shown it has a Shared Interest .
The total bootstrap grant is $50,000 and a DAO that qualifies for this grant will have the minimal attributes. The grant will be paid out as the DAO satisfies each of the MVD milestones.
Really looking forward to what the HarmonySportDAO has to say.
if you guys are able to put in the work and make this dao succeed it can kick start the formation of similar daos focused on sports on other blockchains using the ground up approach. this remains an innovative approach which will yield better results if well managed , i find it hard to believe that some chains spent millions of usd just for a sponsorship deal with a popular football club etc, that money could have been better used from ground up with a more wider reach. wish you guys success in this and will be following closely
Your proposal is under review 
Meanwhile, head over to our 
Please ensure that your proposal meets the criteria necessary to be considered for a Harmony DAO bootstrap grant.
