Matt Luongo bf5cfa4806 Clarify dev fee changes via network upgrade
This structure makes it clear that the Foundation isn't "paying" the dev
fee recipients -- a logistics mess -- and instead recommends changes per

Matt Luongo 39606562f9 Allow room for Foundation board self-selection

Matt Luongo ee0215cc88 Another take on a dev fee ZIP.
We need to separate the foundation and the ECC, and we need to ecourage
