Zcash Community Grants Election (December 2024)

public election created by Jack Gavigan

This is a ZCAP poll to elect three members of the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) committee, and to decide whether ZCG committee members' compensation should be increased.

ZCG Election

Seven candidates are standing for three ZCG seats:
      - Artkor
      - Tokidoki
      - Jason McGee
      - Zerodartz
      - Kworks
      - Chidi
      - Ambimorph

During a recent community call (available to watch on Youtube) the candidates introduced themselves, and answered questions from the Zcash community.

As with previous polls, the election will be decided by approval voting. ZCAP members can vote to approve as many or as few candidates as they wish. The three candidates with the most approval votes will become the new ZCG Committee members. They will serve a one-year term, ending on 31st December 2025.

ZCG Committee Members' Compensation

ZCG committee members currently receive a stipend of $1,725 per calendar month. The current committee is requesting that this be changed to $1,725 + 10 ZEC per month. During a forum discussion about this request, several community members made other suggestions.

The following options are presented in this poll:
      - $1,725 per month (status quo)
      - $1,725 per month + 10 ZEC per month
      - $2,275 per month
      - $1,775 per month
      - 20 ZEC per month with a USD cap of $2,000

The compensation question will also be decided by approval voting. ZCAP members can vote to approve as many or as few of these options are they wish. The option with the most approval voted will become the new compensation policy.
