Proposal overview
https://musicbiz.org/ is having its annual conference here in Nashville on May 9-12. There isn’t much of a Web3 music presence at the conference. Our Coalition hopes to change that by:
(1) sending delegates to the conference
(2) hosting a lunch during the conference
(3) handing out a “yellowpages” pamphlet about the various DAOs in our Coalition at the lunch
Our Coalition is a “metaDAO” (DAO of DAOs) that offers roundtable governance space so that music DAOs and subDAOs work together to:
(A) Pool resources for a more efficient interaction with the greater music industry, escorting them into the metaverse.
(B) Encourage composable protocol permissionless partnerships so that the best Web3 music “lego blocks” quickly cross-pollinate, rise to the top and get standardized.
(C) Grow a 1000 seat community of avid music NFT collectors who’ll share sophisticated knowledge and get first access to top-of-the-line collections, with music DAO delegates positioned at the core.
The Coalition is growing quickly, and we expect to be able to make a few announcements in the next upcoming weeks about exciting partnership developments in this thread’s comments section.
@bestape , who drafted the grant, is on LightItUpDAO’s Board of Directors. LightItUpDAO’s founder @Suede0619 recommended to him that we ping @essalacher and @Mattyontap about this.
Proposal ask
We have four sponsorship options for the lunch:
Tier 1 at $10k
Tier 2 at $5k
Tier 3 at $1k
Tier 4 at $500
Sponsors will have their brands on display during the lunch, and will be listed in the “yellowpages” pamphlet describing the various DAOs mentioned above.
Funds remaining in our treasury will be used to continue to grow the Coalition, including a planned 1000 NFT collection based on Proof Collective NFT mechanisms but for music NFTs. Also based on LexDAO’s LEETH certification NFT mechanisms.
nfDAO is a sponsor and we’re a member of https://panvala.com/ league communities.
Metrics for success
(i) Grow the number of Harmony music delegates in the Coalition; for DAOs reading this who are interested in joining our Coalition, please fill out the form shared below in the “External links” section.
(ii) Get a few delegates into the Music Biz Conference to represent Web3 music and Harmony.
(iii) Throw a lunch where traditional industry and Web3 music attendees can get to know each other.
(iv) Create a “yellowpages” pamphlet and hand it out at the lunch.
(v) Include an NFT as part of the swag at the lunch, likely a music NFT that’s a QR within the “yellowpages” pamphlet
We’re open to feedback and are happy to discuss it with y’all in this thread’s comments section!
