This is not in the scope of the amendment. When I first contemplated the amendment months ago, I considered advocating for committee members to receive compensation from the MG Slice in order to alleviate the financial burden on ZF. You can see an early draft [here](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/amendments-to-zomg-and-potentially-zip-1014/39882/12). However, in the [first discussion of the ZOMG-ZIP 1014 Independent Review Committee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpDcdqVqO_M), it was made clear that the Zcash Foundation’s plan to increase the time commitment (from 5 hours per month to 15 hours per month) and compensation (from $500 per month to $1,500 per month) was well received and not a point of contention, and the scope of the amendment was limited to a discretionary budget.
