@AriannaSimpson @zcash @avichal @JacobPPhillips Why not just take the existing non-profit ZF board and make that your elected five person council? Note that this organization exists (and already has community elected members) while spinning up yet another organization is risky and redundant.
@AriannaSimpson @zcash @avichal @JacobPPhillips PS I am a board member (nominated originally by Zooko) but I’m happy to resign or stand for a new election if the community wants to.
@AriannaSimpson @zcash @avichal @JacobPPhillips Anyway I have several concerns here. The biggest is that the sudden creation of this new five-member counsel creates a huge opportunity for scammers to take control of Zcash. This is a foolish risk.
@AriannaSimpson @zcash @avichal @JacobPPhillips Second, at least some of the ZF board members were elected by a popular community vote. They are basically the figures in this community with the most democratic legitimacy. Shunting that election aside in favor of creating a new council from scratch feels like forum shopping.
