Hi @Fenbushi-Filecoin - thanks for submitting your application to be a Notary! The initially scored rubric can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aMluLgYIUrOGLwBTnORVTQwAeoAsTBxLPdJCvgvsjQI/edit?usp=sharing
Please take a look at the notes (column I) and share any relevant additional details here in comments so we can update your score ideally within the next 2 days.
Your initial unrounded score is: 3.2.
Hi @dkkapur, for the question on I24, we did not accept any private applications and thus, there is no anonymized allocation. All applications are submitted through GitHub. After submitting on GitHub, we communicate directly through email because our due diligence process requires our clients to submit an amount of material and some of them are inappropriate to publicize. When these applications are challenged or dispute, we would like to publish the material on demand.
Also, we have defined audit process, which can be found on https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-plus-client-onboarding/tree/main/Fenbushi%20Capital .
Thank you for your update.
@Fenbushi-Filecoin - just wanted to add that after the last election cycle we had wanted to ensure all the grading and scoring would be public, as a result, for the network alignment, I have updated your term commitment to L2 and your stake exposure to L0 / not disclosed. This not likely to impact your score given the quality of the rest of the application.
@Fenbushi-Filecoin - the final scores for this election cycle are:

@Fenbushi-Filecoin - 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 151.5 TiB (qualified for 1024 TiB, currently has an allocation of ~872.4 TiB). In order to confirm your participation as a Notary in the Fil+ ecosystem, please respond to the following:
Please confirm that the region of operation for client applications you will focus on is [Greater China Region]
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.
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.
Please affirm that you will abide by the allocation / client due diligence plan you laid out above.
(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.

(1,2,4) All confirmed. Thanks.
(3) For the afiiliated addresses are below: f1smam7vhb7houfntsl?????rlkt5d4n5z3emvq7q [This is the address we receive FILs on Coinlist. We hope to keep the investment amount confidential, so five characters are hidden. Thanks for the understanding.]
(5) Here is the new address: f1l3vc2qjx2kq7bs5hnju7o263qyuwrk2rzl5dbbi
@Fenbushi-Filecoin - I was wrong about not being able to use the same address again as Notary. I mentioned this in Slack last week but want to check with you before next steps; would you rather proceed with reusing f1yqydpmqb5en262jpottko2kd65msajax7fi4rmq
or receive the second allocation at f1l3vc2qjx2kq7bs5hnju7o263qyuwrk2rzl5dbbi
? I recommend reusing the prior address to minimize management overhead between DataCap allocations.
