Surely - there is enough interest in this IDEA compared to all the other ideas to commence work on this. What is the TRIGGER for an idea to become a VOTING PROPOSAL? When do the CORE members pipe in here?

Name of the Award:

  • AssangeDAO Award

Should the Award have one or more categories?
No.

Should the Award be only symbolic, or also have a monetary value?
Such an multi-option is not the cryptocurrency style. In fact, here is a module involving the token economy system that suggests this:
1,Issue a batch of nfts,it‘s dynamic animations;
2,the nft include 3 kind:Holder、Assange family、Contributor、;
3,everyone can mint and exchange it;initial mint should hold justice token,diff number means diff level;
4,Design a smart contract which connect with the nft:
main function include collect tx tax of nft;
use tax to buy justice token regularly from dex pool;
Regularly distribute justice token to NFT holders, hold longer earn more percent;
everyone who own justice token can vote(Percent);
Regularly distribute justice token to the voter(Percent);
Display different portraits based on voting results;

Design or form of the Award:

  • Digitally: NFT / Auction / Donation Fund / Fundraiser

If the Award would have a static monetary value, what amount should that be?
is a symbol of honor

Announcement Date (Who will get the Award):
Randomly initiated by the community

Should the Date of Issue have an Award Ceremony?

  • No,everytime,after the vote finished,the nft display the Award winner,it‘s a honor

奖项名称:
*阿桑奇道奖

奖项应该有一个或多个类别吗?
不。

奖项应该只是象征性的,还是也有货币价值?
这种多选项不是加密货币风格。事实上,这里有一个涉及代币经济系统的模块,它表明了这一点:
1,发行一批nfts,是动态动画;
2,nft包括3种:Holder、Assange family、Contributor;
3,人人可铸币、兑换;初始铸币应持有正义令牌,差异数字表示差异级别;
4.,设计一个与 nft 连接的智能合约:
主要功能包括收取nft的tx税;
使用税收定期从dex池中购买正义代币;
定期向 NFT 持有者发放正义币,持有时间越长收益越多(百分比);
每个拥有正义币的人都可以投票;
定期向参与投票者发送正义令牌(百分比);
根据投票结果显示不同的肖像;

奖项的设计或形式:

  • 数字化:NFT

如果奖励有一个静态的货币价值,那应该是多少?
是荣誉的象征

公告 日期(获奖者):
社区随机发起

发行日期应该有颁奖典礼吗?
*不,每次投票结束后,nft都会显示获奖者,这是一种荣誉

this is good, I like this.

the limitation in my opinion is that we don’t have any eth to do this, but we could still move it forward and finalize how it will be done - and not award anything yet

Love the thinking on NFTs

The work that can be completed in one day is still under discussion after two months. Efficiency is like a snail.

Maybe we can have one snapshot vote YES or NO on the things that have a consensus, like:

  • Name: AssangeDAO Award
  • Date: July (Julian Assange’s Birthday)
  • Award: monetary value and a non-transferable exclusive NFT

Then single vote snapshot for the others like:

  • Award have one or more categories?
  • How much monetary value?
  • Monetary value, should it be taken out of the DAO Treasury or funded with a donation fundraiser?

And then a list of 3 final candidates for token holders to vote and elect who gets the award.

We need to also think about a proper marketing campaign for it to be sure that reach a vast number of people and all the media platforms. Just promoting in our Twitter won’t reach enough people or have the proper buzz and impact.

Can we turn this draft into a proposal before 11th of April? @Proposalauthors

I hope this award will design as an annual award and that would nominate people for a fixed month, vote for a fixed month and award the prize for a fixed month. Instead of catering for a particular date. This way the DAO would also have a long-term impact.

As for the nominees, I think it would be better to look for people around the world who are fight censorship, speak truth, whistleblower and the people who fight for Assange and those types of people of the year.

Can we get a financial rundown from the CORE on how the 52 million is being invested? The DAO must be operable and funded for projects.

  1. What is the estimated cost of the US legal action?
  2. What amount of the funds is going to be allocated to this DAO?

Seems to have been a mistake to transfer the entire 52 million - and not leave an operations budget for projects such as this one here floundering at the DAO. Why did that happen?

We really should be moving forward with the AssangeDAO Award since it almost 1 month for Julian birthday and that will be the perfect date for this. If we don’t really start working on it now it’s another good idea that won’t move forward because we are still sorting out Governance.

I think this is the best initiative we have at the moment that can restore DAO good deputation, it have the capacity to making something different, contribute for something good, instead of being just a marketing tool like we are at the moment… this initiative can bring the DAO back to international press and MSM coverage that we really need at the moment… and we need more initiatives like this one so that the DAO continue to make sense to exist.

Should the Yearly Award be actually 2 categories: 1 for an individual and 1 for associations?
3 candidates for each category that then $justice holders vote on the winner of each category?

Urgent action is how we can fund the monetary part of the award. Analysing similar Awards I think $10.000 for each award category will be a good aim to start. I’m discussing a possible support with a blockchain/crypto project but it will be great to brainstorm together and see where else we can ask for support and to sponsor this. How about we contact Jesse Powel (Kraken) and ask if they could be interested in sponsoring this since he is a DAO early supporter. Who/where else?

Other possibility could be that we have an NFT action to announce the award before? Free Press Day is already busy with the airdrop so we can find other date that could make sense? We can ask a high-profile artist to donate a freedom of speech/Assange artwork and since its backed by the award maybe would be easier to have them on board? This could be a great way to fund the Award and announce it ahead of the Award day (Julian birthday). Part of those funds could go to treasury and other part to the Award monetary. Should we contact Bleep or Xcopy regarding this idea?

I’m discussing with SomersetBean about the possibility of his collaboration on the award poster design, award certificate and award campaign. He is a truly an Assange longtime supporter and is be doing amazing artwork for Assange campaigns. So I think it will be great to have him involved.

Last but not least, should we put out the proposal below to vote we have a go from DAO member and we can move forward with this idea so start shaping this Award to be ready on time?

AIP: 000X
Title: AssangeDAO Award
Status: Draft

Summary:
Julian Assange Award presented by AssangeDAO to be given yearly on Julian’s birthday, July 3rd. The idea behind the award is to bring more awareness of Julian’s situation by recognising individuals that are fighting for freedom of speech, and hopefully encouraging many others in this important fight.
This Award would bring significant recognition to Julian Assange and his case. This award not only could be given to people such as publishers or whistleblowers, but also others such as academics or researchers. This would also bring significant media attention to the DAO and help the DAO grow to help accomplish its mission to help Free Julian Assange.

Proposal Details:
Every year AssangeDAO members nominate 3 candidates for the Award via Discord Temperature-Check. The final award will be voted by $justice token holders via snapshot. Award should have a monetary value and that amount should be donated or sponsored.

Nominees must fulfil certain criteria:
Someone who has contributed true knowledge/information to society that is of public interest. Someone who has experienced hardship or persecution due to their contribution to society.

Just some info to decide on award value

  • UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize - $25,000
  • Lorenzo Natali Media Prize - EUR 10,000

I wonder about the planned date since there are no funds for an award?

I would love that the community finally works on the proposals again. I personally would like that this draft gets more attention, because if we want to do something related to Julian’s Birthday, than we should continue it now… Otherwise another cool opportunity is missed. :heart::pray:t2:

Yes - I really want to see the proposal mechanism (s) finalised (vetted authors, proposal steps - all voted on first) . I think that is a priority. This award proposal already had the nod of approval (no substantive negatives - even the Assange family thought it was positive) - but the funds aren’t there yet are they? And no “temperature test” poll has been taken either on the Forum or AFAIK at Discord??? (Even where the temperature test should be taken hasn’t been formalised yet by a voting decision.

So that’s an issue for this to go ahead on Julian’s birthday.

Im going off-topic here …Has the AssangeDAO ever considered educating the public re crypto?

Seems that people would like to know more (like me) and are very cautious - and are clueless about how to start.
I noted a response by Brian Vickery to the airdrop thing (on the AssangeDAO twitter feed). Im pretty sure only a small proportion of the potential population understand it or even know where to start. I’ve seen/heard from many other supporters declare that they don’t really know the basics.

It depends on how Julian perceived this thing to move forward. How influential did he expect the DAO to be beyond saving him legally?

Just an idea for a new project. A public education strategy - even course presentations or advice on the twitter forum. Crypto for beginners. Maybe it could draw in income and more memberships and eventually investors, I don’t know…Perhaps ask twitter followers whether they would like to see courses/podcast series run by the DAO on this, before any commitment.

Bringing this here from Elon Musk proposed as Assange Award candidate - #21 by PMA since I think its an important topic regarding selection of candidates for the award and so we keep forum and this topic organised!

Does the Assange family have veto over this award? For example, if Musk is nominated but it turns out Julian doesn’t like him, presumably Elon would be disqualified. We could save a lot of effort by determining in advance which candidates could pass muster.

I think if this is an Assange Award, all the candidates should/need to be approved by Julian himself, in the end we are giving an Award in his name so obviously he needs to have a saying!

I propose that we provide a list of 5 (selected via discord temperature check), then Julian selects the final 3 candidates to be voted by token holders via snapshot.

Another criteria - that could make it easier to nominate would be to exclude people who have already won recognition. For existence on the question of Daniel Hale - he has received an international award. But WikiLeaks hasn’t held the Intercept connection against him, I might add. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/1429757386848415749
