Allocation Plan

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can.

In making the plan, we will consider the following factors:
* Reputation of the organization
* Scale of allocation
* Frequency allocation
* Safety Precautions
* Transparency of customers

Are there any internal processes you plan on impelementing regarding the target, amount, or rate at which you'll allocate DataCap? 

Our allocation priorities are:
(1) public datasets that are easy to maintain;
(2) Blockchain data;
(3) Web3 data.

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

The key allocated to the DataCap is protected on the multi-signature hardware wallet.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet your Client to ensure they are spending that DataCap responsibly?

* For due diligence on public datasets, we will look for strong evidence that they have a good maintenance foundation and a high reputation in their field.
* For due diligence on blockchain data, we will investigate the authenticity and feasibility of their requirements based on our experience in the development of multi-chain wallets.
* For due diligence on Web3 data, we will use our experience in operating DappStore to investigate the DApp team, product planning and implementation.

What questions will you ask to ensure the Client can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them? 

We will review the request according to the list of questions linked below:
https://github.com/filecoin-project/notary-governance/blob/main/notaries/templates/sample-client-application.md

What processes will you employ to confirm that a Client is not improperly over-allocating DataCap to a single entity?

We will ask Client to seperate DataCap to different entity.
We will review the Client status and if Client is not improperly over-allocating DataCap to a single entity, we will reject the Client's applicaiton during the next allocation.
We will publicize all requests and assignments which are subject to community’s supervision.

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on keeping records of your allocation decisions? If so, with what level of specificity do you intend to respond to any audit requests?

All allocation decisions will be in the following Github repository, and all questions will be traceable:
(https://github.com/mathwallet/filecoin-notaries-onboarding) 
We will have focal point to answer any questions through email and telegram group.

Do you plan on conduct your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both? 

All allocation decisions will happen in public, at the following repository:
(https://github.com/mathwallet/filecoin-notaries-onboarding)
We will have focal point to answer any questions through email and telegram group.

dkkapur commented 3 years ago

@rayshitou - as shared in the last Governance call, based on this Notary election cycle's final scoring, you/your organization has qualified to be a Fil+ Notary! Per your application and the scored rubric, you will be receiving an allocation of: 100 TiB. In order to confirm your participation as a Notary in the Fil+ ecosystem, please respond to the following:

  1. Please confirm the region of operation for client applications you will focus on is [Asia minus GCN]

  2. Please confirm each of the following items below (you can do this by quoting each of the following bullets and adding a line under each section agreeing that you'll abide by these operational principles.

  • Upfront Disclosures: Prior to being confirmed as a Notary, Notaries are expected to disclose all relevant addresses which they control, have a financial stake in, or are strongly connected to by other means. For the disclosure, the Notary should state the relevant addresses and the nature of the relationship

  • Promoting Client Best Practices: Notaries agree to educate approved clients about the best practices for using their DataCap (e.g. how to request additional services from miners, storing data redundantly across many miners, etc). Some reference information can be found here.

  • Commitment to efficiently serving the Network: Notaries agree to serve as fiduciaries of the Network, striving to work towards bringing useful data onto Filecoin and improving the experience for clients to do so. Notaries should generally be able to respond to Client applications and updates within 3 days, and should be comfortable communicating with Clients and Notaries if an application needs to be redirected.

  • No Self Dealing: To prevent conflicts of interest, Notaries should not allocate DataCap to Clients over which they control the private keys, or to a Client who intends to specifically spend the allocated DataCap with an address affiliated with the Notary. When in doubt, Notaries should bias towards transparency (i.e. public disclosure) or to getting a different Notary to handle the individual request.

  • Operating in Good Faith: Notaries hold a position of trust in the network, and as such it is expected that they operate keeping the Principles of this mechanism in mind. While each form of abuse cannot be exhaustively defined, Notaries are expected to bias towards caution and act in a way that promotes transparency. Notaries should expect to potentially receive requests or questions for allocation decisions (within reason) - and should make decisions with this in mind.

  • Community Governance Participation: It is expected that Notaries make an effort to regularly attend the scheduled Governance calls. As these calls are a forum to shape this process, it is important to ensure Notaries are present to provide their context, learnings, and input.

  1. Please list any addresses you are affiliated with, and state the nature of the relationship. Please refer to the first bullet point in (2) for the definition of "affiliated", and bias towards transparency when in doubt.

  2. Please affirm that you will abide by the allocation / client due diligence plan you laid out above.

  3. (If ready) Please confirm the address that should receive DataCap. This is the address which you will use to sign messages on-chain to verify clients (through using a Ledger and the Fil+ Registry App). If you have an active (non-zero) DataCap grant from a previous election cycle, please provide a different address here.
