Then please change the name. subcommittee means it is subject to the main committee, not the other way around. Words mean things, stuff like this can be easily misinterpreted
lets not get stuckup on semantics...but I agree Thanks. Can we agree on "Trusted 7" (or N if we end up with something other than 7) and just "Marketing committee", "Tech committee" and "Infrastructure committee" This would clearly indicate that the Trusted 7 are holding the funds but the committees are independently deciding how to spend the funds See no reason in "Infrastructure committee" as well as in "Marketing committee" and "Tech committee". Seven (or five) people is enough to make a decision on any matter.

This is my simplified suggestion.
Select 3 founders to be treasurers for the unclaimed funds. One to hold marketing, tech & infra respectively. Treasurers will not sit in any committee
Make this selection simple & fast by putting up 3 names and waiting for no objection (1-2 days) period. Any objections should be followed by a good reason. I suggest jl777 propose the 3 names.
Once this is settled, we can do the nomination/election process for the 3 committees.
What this will solve: 1. Unlikely for founders to "run away" with the trusted funds. 2. They will be in for the long haul 3. They voluntarily give up their right to decide on the usage of funds. Founders will not be seen as monopolising the decision making process, thereby pleasing the opponents of 1NXT = 1Vote to a certain extend. 4. Gives more opportunities to other stakeholders to participate in building up Nxt.
If the founders are willing to do this, then that would certainly be the best solution! It is much better than my proposal. It even creates a positive PR event! I have not been here the whole time, so I am not sure that I am the right person to select the Trusted Trinity, but I would say three out of klee, bybitcoin, neer.g and of course Pouncer. I am not sure the availability of the four. If all four are able and willing, then the ones with the biggest stakes left. James

Less is more. I like it. What about 5-7 guys, sitting on unclaimed funds, making polls about bounties (or not). Simple. If they run away: shit happens. Don't make it too complicated. They put ideas to discussion for the community, they make polls, blahblahblah...

There has to be some debate on my proposal. I must have made some mistakes somewhere. Does everybody agree with this:
************** Proposal for Unclaimed NXT
I suggest we put up a slate of 7 trusted members that the thread discussing this will recommend. Then we put it up for an up or down vote.
If approved, the unclaimed NXT are divided among the trusted 7. They will be obligated to disburse funds that are approved by a marketing committee (3 Million NXT) and a tech committee (5 Million NXT) and an infrastructure committee (1 Million Nxt).
The election to the marketing, tech and infrastructure committees are independent from the decentralization of the unclaimed NXT. This means we can independently figure out who is on the three different committees and as soon as one group is formed, projects can be funded.
The community has already decided on 250,000 NXT per month for Marketing, so the marketing committee task is to figure out how best to allocate that budget.
tech and infrastructure committees have not formed yet, but we don't need to figure out all the details for getting the trusted 7 members in place. **************
James
Nice idea. But we should leave this to the committee. If they fuck up, they fuck up. Please clarify. Leave what up to the committee? Are you saying to revisit the allocation to marketing? Are you saying to not separate funding decisions from disbursement ability? I retract my statement. I don't have an opinion on this. Can we agree on "Trusted 7" (or N if we end up with something other than 7) and just "Marketing committee", "Tech committee" and "Infrastructure committee" This would clearly indicate that the Trusted 7 are holding the funds but the committees are independently deciding how to spend the funds
No. Let's pretend we have 12 trustworthy (that's a lot) and capable nominees when we vote. 7 go straight to the Trusted 7 (in no particular order. maybe all our marketing guys are in it). This leaves us with 5 random guys who maybe have no clue about marketing, dev, or infrastructure. And the Trusted 7 sitting there, brilliant things in their mind, and nothing happens. Wrong? Pouncer's proposal is a million times better than mine!

lets not get stuckup on semantics...but I agree Thanks.

Seven (or five) people is enough to make a decision on any reason. Specialization....each committee will be specialized in what it does.....marketing guys don't really know about infrastructure etc.

If devs say that the network needs more nodes they'll listen and give funds for that. Committee is just a trusted people who keep funds and send them when something comes up. They don't have to set up nodes.

This will have a tragic end, as usual. Send the money to the genesis void and end with this stupid burocracy.

Edit: no need voting. Based on "Consensus by NO Objection" method. We already have 3. I will act as backup (only if any one declines)

klee, neer.g, bybitcoin with Pouncer as alternate in case one of the first three decline. NXT community, 2 days to object to any of the proposed treasurers. Please provide good reason for any objection. At the end of 2 days, assuming no objections, we will have treasurers for the unclaimed NXT, minus previously committed amounts which CfB will continue to administer. CfB, please confirm this is acceptable James

This is not a vote. It is a call for objections to any of the four proposed treasurers. 2 days is plenty of time. Any objection needs to have a good reason. Pouncer agreed to be the alternate, so the slate is bybitcoin, klee and neer.g James

Pouncer's Proposal was three different accounts, one for each treasurer. Marketing = 3 million infrastructure = 1 million or cost to deploy hubs needed for 1000TPS tech = ~6 million - infrastructure James
