gm cer Hope you are well.

My little DAO, the DAO Masons, has been building out the "Grant Ships" program for Arbitrum. Plurality Labs has provided us a grant to build it and funds to run our first grant round. We are aiming for a mid February launch. With Grant Ships, we've designed our "game" to create competition amongst people who award grants with the goal of surfacing and funding high impact projects for Arbitrum. There are going to be a few roles people in the Arb community can fill. eg, Game Facilitators (the guys that pull all the levers). I think we're going to do that part ourselves for the beta round, afer that we hope to hold elections to fill those positions. More importantly, we need people to man the ships. The Ships are the "subDAOs" that are each given a portion of the total round allocations, to distribute as grants. Each ship can do things their own way, what we want to do is figure out some of the best allocation methods. At the end of a season, the "impact" that each ship provided via the types of Grants they awarded will be evaluated. This will play a factor in the distribution ratio to Ships in subsequent season. (Ships that provide higher impact will get a bigger piece of the pie to distribute) To get to it, we need help in spreading the word, getting on spaces, podcasts that sort of thing. Shawn at Plurality suggested I reach out to you about it being the giant Arb delegate that you are
