Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

After looking at the comments of Proposal 766, I noticed an interesting division: is Nouns actually a company? Or should we think about its future development as if it were a company?

According to DUNA's definition, Nouns is a non-profit organization. According to the nouns. wtf website, Nouns is a community. These two perspectives don't seem to be a consensus among all Nouns members.

This disagreement is affecting how people view treasury. Those who see Nouns as a company tend to be more cautious with spending and might support the Break Even Movement more. Those who view Nouns as a community tend to be more tolerant and place less emphasis on holding proposals accountable for execution.

Not specific to this prop, but every community needs treasury management. 

All (most) clubs have treasurers. (For good reasons) 

Inconsistent standards as well as wasteful spending (even self dealing) will tear all communities apart.
