A very interesting proposal @joshs ! Kudos to you for sticking your neck out for something like this.

> Re-jig the ZCG scheme, turn it more of a fund manager of the entire dev fund, but still allow outsiders to apply for funding of ideas, possibly with a mandate of this body to use between 50% - 80% of the treasury per year (saving some ZEC for the transition to POS)

This proposal aligns with a previous idea of mine and I actually support this but I have a a couple of Qs/comments

1. at current zec price 20% reward would not be enough to fund all orgs, is there community support to bump it up to say 30%?
2. an addition of another key stake holder/wallet signatory org such as shielded labs would be beneficial as they are non US based and are completing key protocol upgrades
3. Does the implementantion of this scheme once again push back the POS development?

Thanks
