ENS Global

Global Community Hub for IRL Localization

Mission

  • Create globally shared perceptions of ENS Labs (formally TNL), ENS and the DAO
  • Cultural alignment between the Working Groups and the Communities they serve
  • Fund Public Goods that serve IRL communities

Motivation

We believe that the Stewards need a buffer and additional assistance from dedicated contributors like estmcmxci.eth in order to organize and coordinate successful events such as the ENS DAO Happy Hour in Bogotá. These events could and should be organized locally, all over the world, by trusted individuals and contributors. ENS Global intends to identify and empower community liaisons to help facilitate cultural exchange through coordination of ENS DAO backed IRL events. We wish to work with the Stewards to create a framework to organize cultural initiatives and IRL onboarding events.

ENS Global Ambassadors

Global Ambassadors are curated through a selective process that focuses on building high fidelity trust with individuals from across the world. Ambassadors will be empowered to lead localized initiatives, backed by the DAO, in a manner that best reflects ENS Labs, ENS and the DAO’s vision. An example of a successful, community hosted event is ENS DAO’s IRL event series, beginning with ETH NYC in June 2022 and Devcon in October 2022. Community leaders were trusted to carry out an events initiative that best represented the DAO’s mission and vision for the protocol.

Global Weekly Spaces

ENS DAO Global Weekly Spaces are meant to provide a dedicated time for ENS Community to connect with the core team. This is a time where either a Steward or another elected representative of the ENS DAO will host a call to listen and learn about all aspects of the ENS Global Community. Discussions during this period are meant to help make more sense of our diverse, global community and to help establish more alignment amongst the ENS Labs, ENS and the DAO. These spaces have been held weekly on Wednesday's, led by estmcmxci.eth since August 2022. We have curated a small, dedicated team from Brazil, Colombia, France, India, Kenya and Russia. We intend to provide a dedicated time for the Global community to connect with the core team and exchange ideas to facilitate the proliferation of the ENS protocol within their local regions.

Plan of action

On October 19th, 2022, ENS Global hosted a call with our team and discussed IRL localization events with 7147.eth and MonoBandido.eth; we wish to organize local, community-led events in Colombia with the intent of onboarding the region onto ENS. Localized efforts like this are necessary to help educate and onboard the next umpteen million individuals onto Web3. We wish to use the funds gathered from this grant to fund a series of local meet ups where regional leaders will be empowered to educate and onboard their local communities, beginning with Colombia. Success will lead to scaling the initiative and organizing further events throughout the world.
