# Dean's List: ThailandDAO Event Promotion to Boost Governance Engagement
## Summary
Proposal to allocate $15K from Dean's List DAO treasury to fund promotional event at ThailandDAO (Sept 25 - Oct 25, Koh Samui). Top 5 governance power holders would receive flights and 12-day accommodation, top 50 would receive event invitations and partner airdrops. Proposal projected 16x ROI through token price appreciation driven by governance power competition and token locking. Required only 3% TWAP increase to pass but failed after 3-day trading period.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
- **Platform:** Futardio (Autocrat v0.3)
- **Trading Period:** 3 days (2024-06-22 to 2024-06-25)
- **Required TWAP Increase:** 3% ($3,698 absolute)
- **Proposal Budget:** $15,000 (12% of DAO FDV)
- **DAO FDV at Proposal:** $123,263
- **Projected FDV Target:** $2,000,000+
## Significance
This proposal is significant as a futarchy failure case where favorable stated economics (16x projected ROI, minimal 3% TWAP requirement) did not translate to market approval. The failure suggests either:
1. Markets correctly priced in execution risk and skepticism of self-reported projections
2. Proposal complexity (multi-layered incentive structure) prevented accurate market pricing
3. Treasury preservation psychology dominated despite growth opportunity
4. Insufficient liquidity to form functional prediction markets
The proposal also demonstrates a governance incentive design pattern where IRL community access is allocated through capital competition (governance power leaderboard), creating plutocratic event participation.

Dean's List is interesting not as a standalone company but as an adoption data point. It demonstrates that futarchy governance can be adopted by organizations outside of MetaDAO's direct ecosystem — a services DAO using market-based governance for operational decisions. If more existing DAOs migrate from Snapshot/token voting to futarchy, that validates the governance evolution thesis.
