after reading this post from zooko - i’d like to remind everyone this exists > [@Kek’s proposal: fund ECC for 2 more years](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/kek-s-proposal-fund-ecc-for-2-more-years/34778): > > continue payouts at current % to ECC (not investors) for 2 extra years with option to vote on extending or ending contract after 2 years continued funding during these extra 2 years this is a way to kick the can down the road to allow the community to make more informed decisions that don’t feel rushed. 2 year window will give ECC the opportunity to continue working on zcash during a critical point in ZEC’s life (i think ECC can do amazing things for zcash in 2 a year timeframe), and gives time… a lot of current proposals are advocating for very radical changes, and i honestly don’t feel like we’ve had ample time to iron out problems, or even truly digest all the ZIPs on a deep enough level to fully understand future impacts. imo, we should kick the can down the road. we’ll have plenty of time to work-out the kinks. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/decentralizing-the-dev-fee/35252)._
