All polls in #lil-nouncil-votes have the following options: FOR, AGAINST, or a Lil Nouncillor can abstain.
All Lil Nouncil polls are open for three days (72 hours), after which voting will close. Late votes will not be accepted.
The minimum number of Lil Nouncillors needed to vote on a proposal for a decision to be made. Abstains count towards quorum. A vote that fails to meet the quorum is null and void.
Current Voting Quorum: 30%
In addition to meeting quorum, for a poll to succeed, the leading option must have a minimum of 30% support.
This includes both FOR and AGAINST options. If the voting threshold is not met, the poll is inconclusive.
Current Vote Threshold: 21%
If a Lil Nouncillor has voted on a poll and wants to change their vote before it closes, they can DM Joel Cares to delete their old vote. This can only be done once per poll, and they are responsible for processing their updated vote.
If the quorum is not met, a poll is inconclusive.
The poll is inconclusive if no option reaches the Vote Threshold.
For example, if we have 100 Lil Nouncillors, a vote option such as FOR needs 30 or more supporting votes to succeed, even if it is the option with the highest votes.
If a poll results in a tie, it is inconclusive.
Inconclusive polls will be processed as ABSTAIN in external governance, such as Lil Nouns DAO. If a vote meets the quorum, a single vote option has the most votes, and those votes meet or pass the Vote Threshold,
that vote option will be considered the winner in a binding Lil Nouncil decision.
To be eligible for membership in Lil Nouncil, an individual must demonstrate a track record of Nounish Building.
New members can join the Lil Nouncil discussion channel anytime and engage in (respectful) dialog and discussion.
To join Lil Nouncil, you must head to Lil Nouns Discord and, in the #lil-nouncil-chat channel, ask to join Lil Nouncil.
Please include a summary of your Nounish activities and any relevant social media links.
Any Lil Nouncillor can sign an application to vote using the command /nerman create-poll in #lil-nouncil-votes.
Nomination polls must clearly state who is applying, tag them, and link to their application message.
When voting on a new member, Lil Nouncillors should evaluate the application on the following criteria:
- Are they a Nounish builder?
- Have they shipped or worked on any Nounish projects/products?
- Do they have a track record of execution?
- Are they unique person and not an alternate account for any existing Lil Nouncillor?
Should it be appropriate to remove a member of the Lil Nouncil due to behavior unbecoming a Lil Nouncillor or project termination, any two members of the Lil Nouncil can suggest the removal of said member, which will then be put to a binding Lil Nouncil vote. Removing a Lil Nouncillor requires a majority decision (> 51% of Lil Nouncillors)
The Lil Nouncil shall endeavor to discuss and vote on every proposal made at Lil Nouns Governance including Lil Nouns DAO and Nouns DAO proposals.
If a Lil Nouncillor has a proposal in a Prop House that the Lil Nouncil is voting on, they should vote however they want, including for their proposal.
Current Minimum Vote Participation Rate: 50%
If a Lil Nouncillor’s vote participation falls below the minimum, they will be automatically removed from the Lil Nouncil. They can apply again anytime, but all Lil Nouncil voting records will start from scratch.
It is not currently possible to participate in Lil Nouncil without being a member of the Lil Nouns Discord server. As such, leaving the Discord server is equivalent to resigning from Lil Nouncil.
If a Lil Nouncillor leaves the Lil Nouns Discord, they have seven days to rejoin and contact an admin to restore their Lil Nouncillor role. After seven days, they will be entirely removed from Lil Nouncil and must reapply to join.
