> [@joshs](#): > > In addition to not surfacing my ZIP proposal, you chose not to include a single question about my grants-based proposal. That’s because the goal of this poll is not to seek feedback on your ZIP proposal. The goal of this poll is to solicit the community’s input in as open and unrestricted a way as we can (within the practical constraints that we face) to see if a consensus approach emerges, and then turn that into a draft ZIP for the community to evaluate alongside the other options that have been put forward. You have chosen to draft a ZIP proposal. ZF is choosing to draft a ZIP proposal **based on the community’s input** and we’re soliciting that input by polling ZCAP. Our proposal won’t automatically supercede yours, @GGuy’s, @noamchom’s or @Jgx7’s. The difference is that y’all chose to write a proposal yourselves, while we’re takin the opportunity to give the community the freedom to express what _they_ would like to see happen, [without artificially constraining the options](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/ecc-s-position-on-the-zcash-dev-fund/47556/6). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/moving-the-dev-fund-discussion-forward/47464)._
