Hello Zcash Community,
I’d like to engage in a conversation about the commitment and dedication that being a part of the Zcash Community Grant (ZCG) committee entails. Serving on the ZCG is not merely a title—it’s a role that requires considerable flexibility and time from its members. We must be prepared to accommodate the demands of this position within our personal and professional lives, which can include participating in multiple calls per week at sometimes inconvenient hours, such as early mornings or late nights. This intense commitment is crucial as it ensures that every member is actively contributing towards advancing Zcash within our global ecosystem.
In recognition of this dedication, I propose that we continue to offer a stipend of $1725 to ZCG members by amending ZIP1014 to allocate this stipend from the ZCG funds. This proposal is not about personal gain; rather, it’s about acknowledging the time and effort that committee members invest in making informed and proactive decisions for Zcash’s future. The stipend is a gesture of appreciation for the sacrifices made by the committee members and serves to attract highly competent individuals to the role, who can contribute significantly to Zcash.
Given the current economic climate, we are faced with difficult decisions, and I hold immense respect for individuals like @Dodger who guide us in these challenging times. I am hopeful about what lies ahead for Zcash and firmly believe that by adequately supporting our committee members, we can foster even greater achievements for the community.
Thank you for considering this initiative. I intend to present a draft amendment to ZIP1014 in the forthcoming days.
