@ZcashGrants discussed this proposal at the December 23, 2020 meeting and have come to the following decision:

We have decided to reject the proposal. The proposal isn’t Zcash specific enough. It is generic to cryptocurrency and blockchain. @AnneConnelly let us know in her comment in this thread that it would be general with some inclusion of Zcash elements like the logo which doesn’t meet our standards for a marketing material grants. It would be great to have someone come forward and pitch a grant that involves making a Zcash centric video or other marketing material that can explain Zcash to a wider audience, but this proposal doesn’t propose that or anything Zcash specific enough for us to fund. This decision is not a reflection or judgement on the ability for your team to perform the milestones outlined in the grant or the project as a whole.

Some specific sentiments from the ZOMG group are listed below from the notes taken on 12-23-20.

@Shawn

Chris shared that he didn’t think the proposal was Zcash specific enough and wants to be conservative on approving marketing proposals. In order to approve, he said it should be improving Zcash adoption. All members agreed and Shawn added that it seemed like a copy and paste application for several coins grant programs and very generalized for blockchain. Holmes said that the committee should welcome a proposal for a video that can explain Zcash to a wider audience but didn’t think this proposal was it. Shawn stated that a committee member needs to post an explanation on the forum of their decision. Chris added that the two filters for marketing (based on what publishers would require) are credibility to create good content and the ability to distribute content. Holmes volunteered to post an explanation on the forum and he later switched with Hudson.
