| 18 | Governance |
|---|
| 19 | ========== |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | The Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation manages these funds. Our intention is |
|---|
| 22 | to use them for operational expenses (website hosting, test |
|---|
| 23 | infrastructure, EC2 instance rental, and SSL certificates). Future uses |
|---|
| 24 | might include developer summit expenses, bug bounties, contract services |
|---|
| 25 | (e.g. graphic design for the web site, professional security review of |
|---|
| 26 | codebases, development of features outside the core competencies of the |
|---|
| 27 | main developers), and student sponsorships. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | The Foundation currently consists of secorp (Peter Secor), warner (Brian |
|---|
| 30 | Warner), and zooko (Zooko Wilcox). |

| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | Transparent Accounting |
|---|
| 33 | ====================== |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | Our current plan is to leave all funds in the main `1Pxi` key until they |
|---|
| 36 | are spent. For each declared budget item, we will allocate a new public |
|---|
| 37 | key, and transfer funds to that specific key before distributing them to |
|---|
| 38 | the ultimate recipient. All expenditures can thus be tracked on the |
|---|
| 39 | blockchain. |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | Some day, we might choose to move the funds into a more sophisticated |
|---|
| 42 | type of key (e.g. a 2-of-3 multisig address). If/when that happens, we |
|---|
| 43 | will publish the new donation address, and transfer all funds to it. We |
|---|
| 44 | will continue the plan of keeping all funds in the (new) primary |
|---|
| 45 | donation address until they are spent. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | Expenditure Addresses |
|---|
| 48 | ===================== |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | This lists the public key used for each declared budget item. The individual |
|---|
| 51 | payments will be recorded in a separate file (see `docs/expenses.rst`), which |
|---|
| 52 | is not signed. All transactions from the main `1Pxi` key should be to some |
|---|
| 53 | key on this list. |

|---|
| 87 | ============================= |
|---|
| 88 | |
|---|
| 89 | The Tahoe project has had a couple of different donation addresses over |
|---|
| 90 | the years, managed by different people. All of these funds have been (or |
|---|
| 91 | will be) transferred to the current primary donation address (`1Pxi`). |
