Important: Deadline for ZIPs (likely Dev Fund related) that want to be activated next halvening

After discussing @joshs’s comments on the Hybrid Deferred Dev Fund proposal with @peacemonger , we have decided to make the following changes:

  1. Amend the duration from two years to one year to better align the proposal with @peacemonger’s original vision.
  2. Remove the restriction that prohibits BP/ECC and ZF from applying for ZCG grants.
  3. ZCG is administered by FPF, not ZF, which minimizes US regulatory risk. Under this proposal, no US entities are direct recipients of the Dev Fund.
  4. Additionally, @GGuy has formally withdrawn his proposals for the Zcash Grants Fund in favor of the Hybrid Deferred Dev Fund and is now listed as an Owner.

We believe that the Hybrid Deferred Dev Fund sets Zcash on the right path toward transitioning to a grants-based, non-direct funding model.
