Its going to be a busy summer for the Zcash community as well as the developers, but I see one issue I am going to help try to resolve with this post here on hive. There is a lackluster sense of participation right now, and there couldn't be a better time to get involved with the MGRC if you have experience with Zcash and Grants, anyone may apply for a position on the grants review committee.
Some important topics that are worth your consideration;
- Pay Rates for MGRC Committee
- Length of Term (How Long between Elections)
- Should non ZCAP members be allowed to vote?
Some of the applicants bring up interesting keynotes themselves, like the qualifying features for a grant proposal to be considered official. Make sure to read all of the applicants submissions before deciding what you think of the potential of this committee, I however am very excited with the talent pool so far and hope to see more established applicants come forth before the **deadline September 1st, 2020 for application submissions for the very first MGRC.
There is rumors that pop culture financial influences or something along those lines are looking at applying for the MGRC, I know the NY bros happen to love Zcash at Gemini and that would be interesting to see one of the Winklevoss twins or both apply for the MGRC, but that's just speculation.
The Candidates
Please post any direct questions for the candidates in that candidates thread, not in this thread. This is just to help spread awareness of the MGRC being formed in the near future, it may interest members of the Hive community as there is multiple Ethereum community members in the list of applicants already.
