Thanks for the nomination, and yes I accept, I’d be very happy to continue contributing to Zcash foundation for another term. My full time job is doing research on smart contract programming languages at U of I. After initially founding Zfnd, I’ve mainly contributed in planning our governance process like the CAP and negotiating the trademark sharing agreement with ECC.

My priority goals for Zfnd include continually improving our transparency and distributed governance, building decentralization into Zcash by creating space for more independent developer teams, collaborating with ECC to bring shielded UDAs into reality, and making Zfnd into a leading organization among privacy tech development and advocacy nonprofits.
