You can’t combine Q3 & Q4 reports with the Annual Report. They should be separate reports that are released in a timely manner according to each period. Said differently, the Foundation didn’t do the Q3 & Q4 reports and tried to cover it up in the Annual Report. As I have previously said, reporting shouldn’t stop just because you don’t have the bandwidth to get around to it.
I’m glad you bring up this point. When I do due diligence on Zcash entities (ZF/ECC/ZOMG) I want know (1) each entity’s goals, objectives, and agenda, (2) the status of ongoing projects/etc., and (3) what goals have been completed or accomplished. I can answer that for ECC and ZOMG; I can’t answer that for the Foundation. That’s the problem, and that’s why I keep posting about this.
For example, the blog posts and newsletters for ECC (in addition to their formal reports, which are timely and consistent) and the super detailed meeting minutes from ZOMG (in my opinion) more than fulfill the reporting obligations for ZIP 1014. That level of information is not available for the Foundation in any way, shape, or form.
Also, please remember, my issues with the Foundation are more than just the lack of transparency reporting. See here and here for reference.
I’m not new here. I’ve been following Zcash since early 2017. If you haven’t noticed, my user name is “aquietinvestor”. Perhaps its time I update it to “anotsoquietinvestor”.
