Me likey.
Questions:
- How will the communities be chosen?
- Will you offer templates or playboks for the communities to easily onboard (sorry@Sasha)?
- Do you envision a team managing this, a new Working Group of sorts, or what?
- Beyond the set aside $APE, do you envision operating/management costs?
I’m sure others will come forth with feedback and thoughts.

PS – still like my Bags-O-APE idea

The beauty of this process would be that any project can nominate themselves and if they (or their community) wish to vote for themselves then they will need to acquire $ape. I then see this as going through rounds of voting until we reach the desired number (say 5 projects initially)
Re onboarding, would need to think this through but i would expect it to be project lead… i.e. teach the teacher. We teach the project leads, they disseminate within their communities.
I don’t see this carrying operational drag… nothing really to manage apart from the reward process which could perhaps be subsumed into one of the existing WGs?

A new working group to manage this idea would be ideal.
I like this idea, it can bring more contributions and as said more use cases.

Hi @NFD,
Thank you for sharing this proposal. The idea of creating a network of sub-DAOs and bridging communities to foster cultural stewardship is intriguing. Delegating voting rights to participating communities using their collection NFTs as governance voting tokens can indeed provide a sense of ownership and engagement - we’ve seen with the MocaVerse model.
While the proposal is still in a conceptual stage, I believe it has the potential to bring significant benefits. One aspect that I think deserves further attention is the reward mechanism. We could consider implementing weekly AIP reviews, hosting spaces for community discussions, facilitating the creation of new AIPs, and more. By establishing a robust reward system, we can effectively incentivize participation and make this an exceptional onboarding strategy. Perhaps something like ThankAPE or @BojangleGuy guide process can be involve? In any case, I will think more about it and help out.
I agree with @ssp1111 that it should be more detailed to be ready move on to AIP draft.

Appreciate the response @MisterHype and i agree, it needs refinement but i believe this is a very strong proposition to drive more engagement in the DAO

I think this idea have big potential. But we need to streamline how to engage with outside communities and how are we managing the flow if not it could get confusing or messy with misled communication halfway thru

Thank you for the feedback. Id be happy to create the engagement framework either as part of a dedicated WG or existing group

This is a great idea. This will incentivize sub communities to participate more in the governance. I’m looking forward to see this proposal pass

Love the feedback, thanks for taking time to read it. I’ll put much more time into the ‘How’ once more conversation has taken place

Easily an AIP everyone can get behind of.

Hey! This absolutely is a great way forward. I like that initiatives like Ape Assembly & Yat Siu’s new proposal continue to move further in this direction. There are some ways to accomplish this quickly, written in Community Call (withdrawn because im touchin grass) Community Call: Clubs & Chapters. I hope its helpful, as it is one approach to all this!
Delegating voting power to communities is interesting. I think it’d be great to see the mutant cartels delegation. Have you looked at encouraging that? Also getting sub-communities to act autonomously with a drip of apecoin could make it even better. They can then power their events, grants, cool stuff. I’m not sure about KPIs like members voting each week though.
I really think you’re in a spot where you can start testing and implementing this. There are delegates and clubs already voting within the system. For example, can you ask cartel groups to delegate their apecoin to a community wallet, so their groups can weigh in? Your role @ Novel puts you in a good position to start forming a network of voting clubs!! 
Question: Do you have a list of participating communities to delegate to?

Hey mate, this idea is about encouraging participation so the KPIs you referenced are not exactly KPIs (i didnt frame it that way) but it is crucial that communities involvement is measured.
Participation enables us to deploy rewards to those communities and they can utilise it as they see fit - events and all those things you mentioned.
I am 100% opposed to just giving funding away to communities that are not engaged or participating in governance.

Okay! I’ll continue to follow as you update and build the idea out. Thank you. There are a few different ways to go about implementing this, and I think others are interested too. Would love to see this idea fleshed out. Very cool to see convo around it

Hi @NFD,
Thank you for your ideas [and the ApeCoin DAO community for the thoughtful discussions]. A moderator will get in touch with the author to draft the AIP in the appropriate template. Once the AIP is drafted and meets all the DAO-approved guidelines, the proposal will be posted on Snapshot for live official voting at: Snapshot
