We are not going to re-open the ZCAP invite/volunteer window before the upcoming consultation.
The expansion of the ZCAP was announced in a blog post, we tweeted about it, emailed all the current ZCAP members, and I talked about it during the opening and closing sessions of Zcon2. During the window, 24 existing ZCAP members invited someone new, and ten eligible forum members joined.
Once this consultation is done, we’ll be reviewing the ideas that are being collected on this forum thread, so please post any suggestions you have there.
We will definitely be expanding the ZCAP again in the future. We just need to make sure that we do it in a way that is fair, consistent, resistant to Sybil attacks, and allows us plenty of time to adequately review new members before polls.
