Hey, thanks for sharing this.
I have some feedback to you
- ZOMG shouldn’t become a cashcow.
- It’s not ZOMG job to follow up if a request for a grant is poorly made. A requestor should provide you with a proper design doc, a timeline and milestones etc… They want our money, let’s be rigorous and reject if a proposal is an obvious joke (see point 1)).
- Keep in mind that Grants should benefits ZEC holder. Don’t hand money on projects that won’t benefit us (I’ve seen some requests that are such a big joke, like ZF Grants - ΚΣ Labs / 1y R&D Fellowship )
- I appreciate your honesty about the situation, instead of hiding stuff under the rug.
