As I previously acknowledged, you make a fair point, and I formally withdraw all nominations. My only intention was to get active members of the community participating in governance, but I agree that the optics are bad since I am both a ZCG member and director of Shielded Labs.
ZCAP should be further expanded to better reflect the community, and I hope other community members will step up to nominate well-deserving, qualified members.
How is this not a conflict of interest? You should be resigning from ZCG if you are actively trying to create an organization that will be funded by ZEC holders. I see corporate fraud all the time. And these types of ārelated partyā transactions are one of the major red flags.
And ZCG governance is non existent if they knowingly allow this. Whatās the point of governance if its just a free for all.
The criteria for eligibility is made clear in the OP:
I was just nominating these individuals, not adding them to ZCAP. It is for ZF to decide if they are eligible to serve (and if I am eligible to nominate). Also, nominations are done publicly on the forum to give community members an opportunity to object.
Why are my posts being hidden?
Did I say anything that was a lie or that is wrong?
Why does the people running Zcash hate it so much when they are called on on their blatant mismanagement of the project?
If you zodlers donāt take all of this as an enormous red flag, then you deserve whatās certainly coming to you.
I hope you wise up in time.
As I informed you in a private message, your posts have been hidden because they constitute a personal attack on Jason. Edit them if you donāt want them to be deleted.
Donāt ascribe malintent to othersā actions without evidence.

Whether a personās behaviour or actions are ethical or not is largely subjective (i.e. a matter of opinion). Everyone has their own views on what constitutes ethical behaviour, and the Overton window of acceptable norms can vary significantly between different cultures.
In some cases, the actorās motivations and intent can be an important factor. However, none of us are mind-readers, and if we question someoneās motivations and intent, it is incumbent upon us to accept their answer at face value. Accusing others of malintent without evidence can be considered to be a personal attack, which is against the Community Code of Conduct.

Itās not about who is brightest. itās about who is funding it. The current system appears to be dominated by ad hoc polls, grant recipients and people who have a vested interest or might be computer science or blockchain smart. but they might not understand money or business or economics. and our product is money. Regardless, the ZEC holders should be voting for the boards, which is how itās currently designed. Itās the right structure. the issue is the smart tech guys canāt figure out how to let us vote.
Iāve listened to the zcon4 two times now and jack understands governance. @joshs has some good very rough ideas and some better ideas on development; but I think he would admit he really does not understand corporate governance or how it works at the ECC/Foundation and the duties to ZEC holders (that not meant to be degrading or mean either. Governance the role of a board are not common knowledge). So as a ZEC holder, one board for the blockchain and one board for ZEC is more than enough in my opinion. If you want to fight for decentralization, fight for a SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEM and to open up the blockchain and make it easier for 3rd parties to build without a gatekeeper having to provide money or approval (within the context of the protocols). To me that means fighting for SDKs from the ECC if you want to use ZEC or fighting to create a Zstablecoin or ZSA on the blockchain. Fight for protocol level / transaction based economics that incentivize you to build.
Iāve hidden multiple posts that are off-topic.
This topic is about expanding ZCAP. If you want to discuss other subjects, youāre welcome to start new topics (or contribute to existing topics where those subjects are being discussed).
I advise everyone who reads this to review the Code of Conduct, and I want to draw particular attention to this line: We expect that members will work towards collaboration, not conflict .
Editted for thread relevance and character limit.
In general, Iām very in favor of adding more ZCAP members, and Iām equally as strongly in favor of removing members that have gone AWOL. In the past two votes, fewer than 65% of ZCAP members even bothered to cast a vote. That sort of disengagement should result in replacement. There are more than enough fully active forum members who are engaged and have respectful and insightful opinions about where Zcash is today, and where it should be headed.

Whatās the deal with this? I concur with all the names on the Spanish list. I am less familiar with the Brazil list (except for James Katz, whom I support).
I want to nominate all the members that were on the ZCAP Spanish nomination list above. Zcash is a Latin-American technology, it needs Latin American and Spanish fluent decision making.
Agree! What happened to this thread?
Many posts were taken out and placed elsewhere and then no follow up remarks were made
Having spent time with several of the folks in our Brazilian community, I am 100% behind enabling them as much as possible. They are a dedicated and talented community of amazing individuals. Additions to ZCAP would be very much appreciated and will benefit Zcash as a whole.
This goes for the Zcash en EspaƱol crew, as well!
Weāll share the list of people being added to ZCAP shortly before the next ZCAP poll opens (i.e. in the next week or so).
And yes, the Zcash Brazil and Zcash en EspaƱol crew are on that list. Weāre also inviting various other community members, ECC team members, and people who spoke at Zcon who arenāt already on ZCAP.
Thank you @Dodger!
