I want to remind the commuinity the Hybrid Deferred Dev Fund was **temporary** and not suppose to be extended. As I’ve already stated:

> [@NU7 Timeline and the Dev Fund Expiration](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/nu7-timeline-and-the-dev-fund-expiration/50134/23):
>
> Speaking for myself, I agree that we should allocate all dev funds post Nov into the lockbox, but I also think NU7 should activate on time. If the current dev fund runs out prioritizing NU7, this is a consequence of priorities. Move forward.

Now is not the time to kick the can and get more of the same. We need to follow through with what the community wanted:

### a new non-direct funding model that aligns the funding of Zcash work with the wishes of the community.

Send everything to the Lockbox until we can decide.
