Amend ZIP1014 to provide a Discretionary Budget for MGRC (#668)
In 2021 Jason McGee proposed that ZIP 1014 be amended to provide the Major Grants Review Committee (aka the Zcash Community Grants Committee) with a Discretionary Budget. The proposal was approved by the Zcash Community Advisory Panel (ZCAP) in December 2021 - https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/elections/2d0787fc-61de-11ec-8619-8ee85a8a1b8a/view The pull request amends ZIP 1014 to reflect the Zcash community's decision to provide the Major Grants Review Committee with a Discretionary Budget, funded out of the MG Slice of the Dev Fund. The initial denomination (ZEC), annual budget (3% of the MG slice), cap ($1,000,000 USD) and floor ($250,000) were established in the same ZCAP poll that approved the proposal. Zcash Foundation will run a similar poll to allow ZCAP to change these parameters if requested to do so by the Major Grants Review Committee.
