Exactly. And the same is true of the ZF (and now Qedit as well). This ecosystem has plenty of world-class researchers and software engineers. Yet we always find ourselves in trouble because of problems that stem out of too many layers of governance, bureaucracy, extra-org cooperation (or lack there of), scheduling (missing delivery dates), funding (lack there of), external dependencies, and other administrative waste.
We need to empower the researchers & engineers, not the governors, boards of directors & bureaucrats.
I like the general concept of a grander governing body for Zcash, especially one that specifically intends to involve community members and coin holders; but I think it is inappropriate to try and force-in the creation of such a huge structure as part of the 2024 block subsidy debates.
The topic of block subsidies of today is the question: Who gets How Much?
In the practical sense, Josh has proposed to keep the block subsidy as-is and subsequently giving it a rolling 1-year renewal option (rather than the previously expected 4-year cycle).
Building the full governance structure that is described (which I do generally support) is a 2-4 year project. I don’t believe that it is reasonable to bind a project that large into the debate about the block subsidy which has to go-live in less than 8 months.
