  1. Funding report, plans for how to handle it:
  • Board agreed to a broad strategy of folding funds primarily in Zcash (were less relevant if Zcash value crashes) Some in dollars for bare minimum of near/medium term expenses.

  • Operational: possibly a multi-sig scheme where 5 of directors should hold key shards, policy to be determined. 3 of 5 to sign?

  • We begin with donation pledges of portions of the Founder's Reward, the largest of which comes from Least Authority

  • Board agreed to prefer a 1-time permanent transfer of rights rather than month-to-month

  1. Priorities, ideas.
  • Community development, diversity
  • Communication platforms to hear stakeholders and actively encourage their participation. e.g. Miners, mining pools
  • Development funds, bug bounties, fellowships
  1. Future of governance process.

Start with no governance framework, but develop one. Goal is to eventually over to the “community”, via the “governance process”, in 9 months.

By polling current users. We should also represent people who are not part of the community yet.
