wearing ZIP Editor hat
Just to be clear, the Foundation’s decision about when they will start polling for sentiment about dev fund ZIPs, is independent from the Network Upgrade timeline that @nathan-at-least described in this comment on Emergency extention to a select part to NU4 inclusions RE dev fund - #8 by nathan-at-least .
That said, this decision by the Foundation has the side effect that there will be more time to get the existing proposals into shape as ZIPs (both editorially and in terms of technical feedback) before that polling, which is welcome given that there were several submissions just before the NU4 draft ZIP submission deadline.
