@joshs Thank you for the clarification on ZCG’s scope under ZIP 1016. ZCG’s mandate is capital allocation inside the funding model defined by ZIPs, not protocol governance. My work stays inside that boundary. I am proposing one scoped upgrade within that mandate: a written verification standard for any custodian holding more than $5M equivalent for more than 12 months, using either an annual audit or quarterly read-only balance reporting. It is mechanism-neutral and does not alter who votes or how governance decisions are made. Full details are in my Accountability First Governance post.
