I’m confused by the logic here. Being a philanthropic cause by itself doesn’t mean people shouldn’t get paid to do their job. We pay people so they don’t have to dedicate their time elsewhere and can work to help the cause succeed. I can understand the need for belt tightening, but if being a philanthropic cause is the rationale, shouldn’t the same ~60% pay cut be applied to ZF employees as well since ZF is also a philanthropic organization? Are ZF employees also taking a 60% pay cut? If not, I’m disappointed in the double standard being applied here.
To ensure we retain quality candidates to lead ZCG, as well as set up elected committee members for success to sustainably perform their duties, I propose we include in the forthcoming ZCAP election a vote on amending ZIP-1014 to allow the ZCG Dev Fund slice to be used to make up for any loss of compensation from the ZF Dev Fund slice (e.g., $650 comes from ZF, the rest from ZCG). Since it’s not exactly clear how to make sure something gets put to a ZCAP vote, if you are supportive of the above idea, please either like this post, and/or reply with something like “I support adding an option to amend ZIP-1014 to the forthcoming election.” so that it is clear support for this idea exists. I’d look forward to hearing other community members’ thoughts on this.
