[audit] new provider attributes requirements: better identity (org, email, website correctness required)

[andy108369]

We need to recommend new standards with provider identity with support email and website correctness as requirements for us to sign. Identity is a key property for tenants to trust a provider.

List of current provider attributes for the providers that have been audited by akash1365yvmc4s7awdyj3n2sav7xfx76adc6dnmlx63

CLI used to generate the report:

AUDITOR=akash1365yvmc4s7awdyj3n2sav7xfx76adc6dnmlx63
provider-services query audit list -o json |
  jq --arg AUDITOR $AUDITOR -r '.providers[] | select(.auditor == $AUDITOR) | .owner' |
  while read PROVIDER; do
    provider-services query provider get $PROVIDER -o json | jq -r '[.owner, 
        (.attributes | map(select(.key == "host").value) | first), 
        (.attributes | map(select(.key == "tier").value) | first), 
        (.attributes | map(select(.key == "organization").value) | first),
        .info.email, 
        .info.website, 
        .host_uri] | @csv';
  done

# HEADER
echo '"owner","attributes.host","attributes.tier","attributes.organization","info.email","info.website","host_uri"'

It appears that some providers removed their host / tier / organization attributes despite they were previously audited (i.e. signed).

• there have been 64 providers throughout the entire time that had their provider attributes signed with Akash address (akash1365yvmc4s7awdyj3n2sav7xfx76adc6dnmlx63)
• only 5 providers (<8%) out of 64 had their info.email & info.website set (since that has never been a requirement for us to sign the provider attributes)
• 13 providers (out of 64) are missing the organization attribute (organization: <ORG>)
• 8 providers (out of 64) are missing the tier attribute (tier: community)
• 3 providers (out of 64) are missing the host attribute (host: akash)
