AMA about the EF, I'll answer whatever I can!

The call from the CT community for a change in leadership is very loud. 

Have you taken notice of that and, if yes, to what kind of internal debate and action has that lead?

Took a break. Now gearing up for the next round. Still checking out everything onchain.

as @vitalik.eth wrote about here, change in leadership has been planned / under discussion for many months. And yes, we read twitter :)

We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.

What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:

* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management

Next thing I got blocked by Aya. Now I can understand my comment feels harsh, but I only have 140 characters, so there’s that. 

Getting blocked after trying to criticize, feels like leadership doesn’t have thick enough skin and might discard criticism too easily. 

If anything, I’d like to see how and to what extent we, the community, are being heard and our feedback is being discussed, valued and included in the formation of the new leadership and EF mission approach.

We've been working on this for a year, and I am excited to finally be able to share more news about this soon 👇

@AyaMiyagotchi The fact that this has been in the works for a year and we now first learn of this, shows exactly how opaque the EF is. 

Or it’s a lie. Which would evaporate trust. 

Share process, considerations, who’s been involved etc. 

Should look like a year’s work. Not a few days.
