I made the following last changes (did I mention that this proposal is sailing under American Samoa flag? So it’s just in time for the “EOD Thursday, November 14” deadline! 😄):

- **Changed slice percentages from third-third-third to 35% ECC, 25% Zfnd-GU, 40% Zfnd-MG** (harmonizing with @mhluongo’s updated proposal).
- Minor/typo tweaks.

This proposal has been published as [ZIP 1012](https://zips.z.cash/zip-1012).

Note that the changes to slice allocations had been made in the Abstract but not in the Specification; that’s now fixed.

Thanks, @daira, for the merge and the fix.

(The version on the forum was correct; I evidently glitched when synchronizing it with the `.rst` file. I checked again now, and see no remaining differences, except the the forum vs. ReST syntax.)

BTW, it’s pretty painful to maintain these two versions and manually keep them in sync. The two versions diverged in several proposals. Next time around, I hope we’ll find a way to avoid that.

In other networks with community/decentralized governance, either Github (+forum for discussion) ([example](https://github.com/aragon/AGPs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Stage+V%3A+Association+Review%22) + [example](https://forum.aragon.org)) or a dedicated portal ([example](https://proposals.decred.org)) is used to store and keep track of both the canonical version and related conversation.

I went with the GitHub versions of everything as canonical. trying to maintain the two was a nightmare.

The CGP can still modify their votes if they feel the need to. - just go through the process again. the last submitted is the one that gets counted. - this is a useful feature that should be incorporated somehow into the other sentiment gathering processes in the future.
