Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Big Spender track requires 60% quorum according to our voting policy. This proposal has received zero aye and eight nay votes from ten members, with one member abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The referendum saw a unanimous rejection from voters regarding a proposed esports sponsorship, primarily due to the request for DOT funding instead of stablecoins. While some acknowledged the proposal’s thoughtful preparation and potential market reach, concerns were raised about the project's relevance given Polkadot's current absence in the gaming space. A few voters suggested that sponsorships in esports might only prove fruitful when the platform is actively engaged, indicating that more strategic approaches should be considered in the future. Some voters expressed interest in further discussion but ultimately leaned towards skepticism.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.

Kind regards,
Permanence DAO

Please make sure to prepare in advance a coordinated plan with the Polkadot community that ensures a significant integration with the technology and its people and not only a brand awareness campaign that may or may not lead to a limited use of it.
For now our vote will be NAY to all new e-sports sponsorships as we have already one active e-sports sponsorshop campaign and another 3.7M competing e-sports proposal.
