@dismad and @kworks. The committee has discussed your requests and appreciates your suggestions regarding the cancellation of underperforming grants. However, we have decided not to implement the specific requests to publish a list of underperforming grants for community debate before taking any actions or to publish metrics on how we make decisions regarding grant cancellations. Instead, going forward, if ZCG decides to cancel a grant, we will publicly provide a detailed explanation of our decision in the relevant grant’s thread on the forum. Our decision and rationale will also be memorialized in our biweekly meeting minutes. This approach is consistent with what we’ve done in the past. I have provided an example below. > [@Cake Technologies Zcash Mobile Wallet Design & Development](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/cake-technologies-zcash-mobile-wallet-design-development/40347/69): > > @cakewallet, the [@ZcashGrants](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/groups/zcashgrants) has voted to terminate the Cake Wallet grant due to inactivity and a lack of responsiveness. If the requestor would like to be considered for a new grant they must submit their request through the grant platform for ZCG’s consideration. > [@Zcash Community Grants Meeting Minutes 9/19/22](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-community-grants-meeting-minutes-9-19-22/43052/1): > > Cake Wallet > > - Jason stated that in Danika’s milestone update they noticed that it said that Dan has reached out and the grantees are still MIA and have not been KYCed; do we want to close it and hedge back Zec? Aditya said he is in support of doing that; the last committee approved it and the applicants have been MIA for more than 6 months; he doesn’t think ZCG should keep grants hanging around; we should close it and ask them to apply again. Michael and Brian agreed. Brian added that they recently funded Hanh’s retroactive grant and wants funding to go to something that is working for Zcash. Dan stated that there has been no contact after reaching out to them multiple times. Jason said that it makes sense to relay that ZCG wants to cancel the grant on the forum saying after reaching out multiple times and after x amount of months of no response they are canceling the grant and they can resubmit on the new platform. Burns asked if this is possible legally. Alex replied, yes, as per the grant terms and conditions it is in our discretion to cancel for any reason including non action. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-community-grants-meeting-minutes-8-21-23/45505)._
