Sarah, Please explain to me why this is not an acceptable method. Using your example, rather than getting a cap vote to modify the zip, why not just ask the ZFND for the money to pay for the admin. That is the intended route. How the ZFND finds this money I don’t know. But if it is a reasonable operational cost, the ZFND pays. The ZFND are also responsible for deciding what the wage is too. If you want to get technical about it, It is not a MGRC problem but a ZFND problem - it is not meant to be solvable by the MGRC. I really don’t think a zip like that would get merged because community sentiment has already been collected - but I don’t mind writing it anyway. What am I missing? @amiller Any thoughts? > [@Major Grants committee](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/major-grants-committee/35871/158): > > Strongly seconded, the ZF can solve basic comp issues on its own. Trying to detail all of this stuff by committee is an anti-pattern. the link @daira posted earlier showing the community sentiment towards this. > [@Major Grants committee](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/major-grants-committee/35871/159): > > Should ZF compensate Major Grants committee members? [poll](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/major-grants-committee/35871/159) Please select all that you think are acceptable. Your vote will be public. This is a non-binding non-official straw poll. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/mgrc-getting-a-zfnd-grant/37099)._
