§Abstract

NOM stands for Notions, Options & Motions.

NOMs provide a permissionless format for exploring ideas, comparing alternatives, and proposing standards for the Network of Momentum.

A NOM is a signed, addressable Nostr long-form event. Any Nostr pubkey MAY publish a NOM.

§Conventions

The key words MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, and MAY are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 (RFC 2119 and RFC 8174) when, and only when, they appear in all capitals.

§Format

A NOM MUST conform to NIP-23.

A NOM MUST contain nonempty Markdown content, exactly one nonempty d tag, and exactly one nonempty title tag.

A NOM MUST include the following self-labels, as defined by NIP-32:

["L", "org.n15m.nom"],
["l", "nom", "org.n15m.nom"]

§License

A NOM MUST be published under CC0 1.0 Universal.

A NOM MUST include the following license self-labels:

["L", "license"],
["l", "CC0-1.0", "license"]

§Identity and curation

A NOM’s addressable event coordinate, as defined by NIP-01, identifies it across revisions; each revision has its own event ID.

This specification defines no global numbering, ordering, editorial workflow, or approval process.

Authors, communities, relays, and clients MAY establish their own review and curation practices.

Conformance establishes only that an event is a NOM; it does not imply that the NOM has been reviewed, endorsed, or adopted.
