Have some more questions 🧑‍🎓

> [@joshs](#):
>
> A grant will likely include milestones and accountability requirements. Once those are proven, members are asked to sign their key to release funding. The funds will not be dispersed until a majority has signed.

- _who_ will be responsible for accountability? Will they be paid to do so?

> [@joshs](#):
>
> A grant request is posted to a central location, like the forum. Each member of the Zcash Funding Bloc independently determines whether a grant should be approved. Once a member approves a grant, they sign their key. A grant is not approved until a majority has signed. Funds are not dispersed at this time.

- _who_ is allowed to submit a grant? That is, are there any cases where KYC will be both necessary and sufficient for the grant to proceed?

> The other members could vote to remove their key.

- What happens if a grantee misbehaves?

- Will there be any “Nuclear” option if nothing can be agreed upon? What would this look like?

- Since term limits do not exists, can other key members propose to “Kick out” a key holder if they feel they are acting in bad faith, or against the community? (Ala survival counsel meeting)

- Is this metric adjustable or set in stone?

Thank you 🦓
