Super-interesting results! Something that really jumps out at me is that none of the potential new recipients (FPF, QEDIT, ZecHub) received more than 50% support, despite the fact that the results of the Alternative Dev Fund Sentiment polls indicate that 85% of respondents are in favour or more independent entities receiving a slice of the Dev Fund.
A lot of food for thought here. Interested in hearing all your thoughts.
