+Working groups are intended to be community-driven, independent, and led by volunteers, rather than organized top-down.
 As such, the idea is that although the Foundation will officially "recognize" Working Groups, the Working Groups should be able to exist independently of the Foundation too. For example, a working group can exist before being recognized by the Foundation, a working group could be simultaneously recognized by some other organization as well (e.g., a WC3 working group), and a working group could continue to exist even if the Zcash Foundation withdraws recognition.
 
 To propose a working group for recognition by Zcash Foundation, create a draft file explaining the above, and either create an issue or a pull request to this repo.

 Our process allowed 3 weeks between the preliminary filings and the final submissions. The public discussion during this period—by committee members and others from the Zcash community—helped shape the proposals by advising on technical aspects (e.g., [#32](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2017Q4/issues/32) changed its plan for integration of its new Rust verifier into full nodes), and affecting coordination between related pairs of proposals (e.g., [#7](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2017Q4/issues/7) and [#22](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2017Q4/issues/22) refactored their overlapping suggestions for desktop wallet improvements). It also allowed for questions on schedules, budgets, open-source policies and many other aspects, all of which helped clarify the proposals.
 
 We felt that this process was very constructive, and that the early feedback improved the viability and clarity of many proposals.

Based on these, preliminary opinions were issued to the proposers, prior to the deadline for full submissions, on whether their filings seems promising for funding.
