Here’s an idea for a question to start off.
Question: Our focus of discussion recently has been on the MGRC itself… shortly after this I imagine we’ll start to shift or focus to the potential grant recipients. Looking ahead to potential grant recipients, do y’all have any ideas what would make for a great grant recipient? A small development outfit? Large established team? Hire a cryptocurrency dev team away from their existing token? Any specific dream teams you’d like to hire?

  • what is the smallest grant you can fund to make the biggest impact?
  • for those holding less than 70% zcash, what incentivizes you to review grants on behalf of the zcash community?
  • for those candidates whos applications were their first post to zcash forum, what brings you here? who invited you?
  • by what quantitative measure would you define MGRC a success? a failure?
  • how do you explain the sudden drop off in shielded transactions?
  • Recently Hudson suggested layer 2 privacy as an alternative to Zcash to shield sexcare workers. ML is crypto-agnostic. Ethereum or Zcash or better and why?
  • has your company ever received money from ECC, ZF or any of its investors?
  • for those affiliated with VC funds, why use MGRC funds?

I was trying to make it work but was unable to join this due to a personal contingency compounded by time difference. That said, I will be making a sweep of open questions in the forums and attempt to frame my responses and share them here within the next 48 to 72 hours.
