Thanks for putting this together! Interesting insights.
I may be reading the document wrong, but I think it indicates I never mined Zcash. I actually was a miner on the day Zcash launched, as I mentioned in one of the previous Q&A sessions.

Ah should have known! Canât believe I missed that! Will note when I get back 
As I stated in my application for the MGRC, if elected to the MGRC I will be sitting in the Zcash Foundations seat as the ZFND representative.
ZIP-1014 specifically allows for one person from the ECC and ZFND to sit on the MGRC if thatâs the primary issue you have (as you feel it represents a COI) then the avenue to correct it would be to propose a modification to ZIP-1014 or create a new ZIP for consideration.
Last I checked the ECC and ZFND are currently funded by the Zcash blockchain via block rewards not by VCs.

All, please refrain from maligning each otherâs intentions, stick to the facts. When you cloud the conversation with speculation about why someone may have done something it becomes a he-said she-said where neither party can be proven correct. Instead of making sweeping generalizations about what someone was thinking at the time they made a statement simply ask them, they are here on the forums too.

Apologies for the late reply. I hope this is obvious, but my invitation and endorsement of Sandy Ordonez is because she would bring both deep experience in funding internet freedom organizations and diversity to the MGRC, positive qualities in their own right. I will not benefit financially or personally by her being in the MGRC; my recommendation is purely because I want the MGRC to succeed in funding good organizations that will meaningfully both help Zcash grow and improve privacy online for all.
Hopefully this was already clear but I wanted to state this explicitly.

Hi Chelsea, Yes, loud and clear. Thank you for all you do, both at Tor and Zcash Foundation. As always, you and Sandy have my complete support <3

It may be likely that @amiller invited @dontpanicburns:
I wasnât invited by Andrew. I did meet Hudson at Zcon0, and we both seem to have similar interests, but it was likely just a coincidence we applied the same day do different etherum things and what not. Many of the candidates, well at least myself, are extremely limited on what they are allowed to do publicly with crypto. While i may not be in the forum as often as some, rest assured I advance the zcash narrative every chance i get.
Random zec street cred not mentioned in the biased voter guide:
- i was the one who proposed the mascot initiative. Elections/Foundation_Mascot_ballot.md at master · ZcashFoundation/Elections · GitHub
- my top medium post( and the top google/duckduckgo result for âhow to send a shielded transactionâ) is how to transfer from a t address to a z address from years ago. LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You
- I conducted unarguably the most cyperpunk-esqe mpc ceremony in the subways of hong kong https://www.coindesk.com/devs-destruction-inside-zcashs-second-crypto-ceremony
I did see zookos post and i am thankful the deadline was extended. i almost missed my chance to help drive zcash to the next phase, where ever that may be.
