There is a dire need for a governance overhaul, so you have my attention. However, just so it is clear, having an entity doing the intermediary between stakeholders is not at all how I envision the long term governance of the dev fund. If you initially managing the relationships is part of a bigger plan to let us connect directly, then I’d be very happy with that.
I don’t know that many stakeholders are actually participating or even looking at this forum, we may be able to clarify that soon. An idea I have been mulling over is the creation of an “exclusive”, secure and private, discussion area (Signal group or otherwise) restricted to entities holding more than 1‰, for more than one year, of the final ZEC supply; call it “Unit 21000” or whatever. Only 1000 entities can ever be in that group, but I’d estimate that we’ll get maybe 50-200 at most. That would be a reasonable size for a live discussion.
We should have such discussions area for 0.1‰ or less as well, but I don’t know that the format could be the same, at some point a large number of people could become difficult to follow and enable constructive discussions.
