Love to see more ideas for using the community portion of the block reward. It feels very underutilized right now. I also think the multisig is an awesome group of people and will steward this well.

I still share most of the same thoughts as from the last community fund proposal ([Discussion for CGP [0017]: Activation of Celo Community Fund - #10 by cmcewen](https://forum.celo.org/t/discussion-for-cgp-0017-activation-of-celo-community-fund/692/10)). It seems like a lot of money, investing can be a time consuming job, and I am interested to hear further exploration of this effort in contrast to some of the other funding sources - the foundation, Flori, etc. I again would like to suggest using ReleaseGold contracts or some form of vesting if folks decide this size of commitment is appropriate.
