Thank you to @emersonian and @thowar2 for taking the time to submit proposals. Unfortunately, those proposals arrived a few hours after the submission deadline of Sunday, November 8 at 11:59pm UTC.
After discussing this with the other organizations coordinating the poll, we’ve decided to uphold the deadline and exclude these proposals from this round of polling. The deadline was communicated in the announcement and subsequent reminders, and we think it’s important to apply it consistently for everyone who participated. Making exceptions now would make future deadlines harder to enforce.
Many of these proposals also go beyond the scope outlined for this poll. The primary focus is ZCG’s share of the Dev Fund, with room for smaller improvements that the engineering teams determine can safely ship within the upgrade timeline. Some of these changes deserve more time for discussion and review than this schedule allows.
We understand that some people will find this disappointing, especially given the short submission window. We hope the authors will continue discussing their ideas for consideration in a future poll.
I’ll follow up later today with the proposed poll questions and answer choices for public feedback.
