Council Feedback Thanks for your submission. This proposal was rejected in its current iteration, but you are welcome to resubmit taking into account the following feedback: Use of ‘Doodles’ is not allowed in the name of the proposed venture The commercial experiment hasn’t been defined. It is understood the concept is to offer consulting services and act as a middle party between talent within the doodles community and projects. But it isn’t clear who these customers are or what the proposed experiment is. One such experiment might be to prove a repeatable mechanism for sourcing and securing new clients by offering a non-commoditized service and earning revenues that could power the proposed business model. Provided details on such an experiment could be defined and proposed, we would be happy to revisit this application.
