Moving forward
--------------
I believe this proposal can form the basis for a new way forward for Zcash --
a robust, decentralized ecosystem with fair governance. I also hope it can bring
together the stakeholders in this discussion, and allow us to get back to why
we're all here -- to protect the world's financial privacy.
I look forward to feedback on GitHub and the Zcash forum.
Disclosures
===========
In the interest of transparency, I'd like to make a few professional
disclosures.
I'm the largest shareholder of Thesis_, the parent company and studio behind
Fold_ and Keep_. Thesis is a for-profit company that might benefit from this
proposal as a dev fee recipient. While today I maintain exclusive control of
Thesis, the company has taken outside investment in the past.
As far as my financial interest in Zcash, I've held a small amount of ZEC since
shortly after launch. I'm in the process of building my personal ZEC position,
as well as a position at Thesis.

Outside ongoing discussions in the forum and with other ZIP authors, I've spoken
with a number of prominent community members while developing this proposal,
though none were provided early access to the text of the proposal. I
appreciated the thoughtful discussions with `Josh Cincinnati`_, `Zooko Wilcox`_,
`Josh Swihart`_, `Ian Miers`_, and others.
