Proposal: ZCG under FPF

My position:

Speaking for myself, I think for Zcash to properly be recognized we need to keep our heads down and stop bickering internally as much as possible and just get to work. Lets become more unified. I will be focused on user education

• I think DevFund should be continued but at a lower rate to encourage folks to work harder (deadlines work!). The rate should decrease over time. I think by the time POS rolls out, we should be close to 0% (staking rewards would take over)
• I think more independent entities is crucial
• I think More than one non-US entity should be a recipient of the DevFund
• I think ZCG should be independent
• I think Shielded Labs should be one of the independent non-US recipient of the DevFund

@FPF

TL;DR:

1. FPF proposes that the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) committee become an independent committee underneath the FPF umbrella as an interim step towards possible future full independence. (Proposed Actions)
2. The ZecHub bounty program is now being administered by FPF through the end of 2024. (Pending Actions)
3. FPF will provide fee-based administrative and operational support to unincorporated organizations and discrete projects so that they can maximize their impact in a resource constrained environment. (About FPF)

Exciting and bold, I think this is an interesting first step towards ZCG independence, something I’ve supported.

ZecHub’s bounty will now be administered by FPF, something we are excited about. I’d like to report back in December a recap of the process, and present feedback to the community.

Good luck
