Responding to a bunch of different things at once.
@boxalex @mistfpga, a section from our guidance:
Reviving the Community Advisory Panel
We will revive last year’s Community Advisory Panel and request old members to both:
- invite one new member of their choosing
- vote on the proposals (once they have been submitted as ZIPs).
The polls will open September 3 and be due September 17.
Miner signaling
We will invite mining pools to signal their support of a given proposal using the coinbase text of blocks collected between September 3 and September 17.
And a relevant comment from another thread:
We all have until October 31 to discuss and modify ZIPs. Draft ZIPs should be well-considered and fleshed out, which is the goal of discussing them on the forum, but they are not considered to be 100% finalized upon submission.
This doesn’t make sense. ECC wants to be compensated in ZEC, by the Zcash community, for working on ZEC. The whole point of setting it up that way is to align incentives so that ECC benefits by making Zcash more useful.
It was flagged by a user. I reviewed the flag and let it stand because I agreed that the comment was inappropriately antagonistic. You can learn more about how flags work in the Discourse FAQ (the forum software we use).
Remember the Zcash Community Forum rules, everybody! In particular, this section…
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- Using sexualized language or imagery.
- Personal attacks.
- Trolling and insulting or derogatory comments.
- Public or private harassment.
- Publishing another person’s private information, such as physical or electronic addresses, without explicit permission (AKA doxxing).
- Other unethical or unprofessional conduct, at the discretion of the moderators.
Be polite. The more heated the discussion, the more passionately that you think someone else is wrong, the more effort you should put into writing a civil response. Take a minute to cool off and reread what you wrote before posting it.
There’s a reason why every single industry still has in-person gatherings. There’s a reason why companies with remote employees hold summits for everyone to get together and talk face-to-face. It facilitates collaboration, not just at the event itself but afterwards, once everyone is back to communicating online.
Thank you, Josh. Both thoughtful and thought-provoking!
It seems safe to assume that ECC considers them informative. The section was titled “Additional Resources.”
Is there a reason why ECC would have to change its board members? ECC having a board is pretty new, by the way.
