We have a [long tradition](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/future-of-zcash-dev-funding-megathread-everything-in-one-place/34063) of creating megathreads to collate information relating to governance and funding proposals. This thread is for comparing and contrasting the various lockbox-related proposals (e.g. which ones can be combined?), commenting on the general trends of proposals so far, discussing and defining the feedback process, and hopefully moving toward broad consensus or something close to it. This post will be updated with new information as needed. If you think anything is missing from this post, send a message to [@moderators](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/groups/moderators). On the topic for specific proposals, discuss the pros and cons of those specific proposals, or suggest improvements. If you wish to put forward a new proposal, please start a new, separate topic. For reference, @skyl’s original proposal to create the lockbox as part of NU6 can be found here: [NU6 Dev Fund Proposal: Lockbox for Decentralized Grants Allocation](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/nu6-dev-fund-proposal-lockbox-for-decentralized-grants-allocation/47772) @joshs has also started a topic to discuss [the process for selecting a Lockbox Distribution Method](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/next-steps-for-determining-the-lockbox-distribution-method/50333). * * * **List of Proposals:** - [Proposal for a Zcash Governance Bloc (“zBloc”)](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/proposal-for-a-zcash-governance-bloc-zbloc/48457) by @joshs - [Proposal for a Community + Coin Holder Funding Model](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/proposal-for-a-community-coin-holder-funding-model/50332) by @joshs - [Zcash governance: bicameral model](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-governance-bicameral-model/48552) by @joshs - [Zcash Council + Coin Holder Defunding Mechanism](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/dev-fund-proposal/49989) by @Milton - [Let's focus on ZSAs](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/lets-focus-on-zsas/50426) by @Dodger - [Lockbox Distribution Proposal: Let ZCAP Decide](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/lockbox-distribution-proposal-let-zcap-decide/50570) by @Dodger ---

I created [this proposal](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/dev-fund-proposal/49989), and there is also [the bicameral proposal.](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-governance-bicameral-model/48552) [@moderators](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/groups/moderators) ---

@Milton 👍 Do you want to give it a catchy name (and we can edit the topic title)? ---

I think the most accurate name would be “Zcash Council + Coin Holder Defunding Mechanism” ---
