Allocation Plan refer to the Rubric to see how this impacts your Notary score

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. This includes the target amount per client and rate at which you'll allocate DataCap.

PRINCIPLES : 
My approach is similar to What I did until now  : 

Defining thresholds with varying degrees of trust.
Higher the request, Higher the scrutiny

Several factors will be considered when making allocation decisions: 
- Reputation of organisation
- Scale of allocation over a certain period of time
- Security considerations
- Transparency of Client
- Client engagement to respect guidelines :
    - Process
    - Delegation
    - Contractual terms. 
    - etc…
- Sucess of a Probation period for new client (described below)
- Public or Private Data

Allocation plan : 
1. All new client start with 1-2TiB max
2. After successfully consuming the first allocation and only if it's in line with it's commitments,  client can request and get allocation for more datacap (max 5TiB)
3. Continue 5TiB iterations

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

Ledger

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet the clients that are applying for DataCap? What questions will you ask to ensure your trust is placed well and that clients can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them? 

 - Type, size and source of the data you (and by extension other Discover participants) are looking to store on Filecoin, e.g. 
 - public data vs private data etc
 - Your relationship with the data, especially with regard to copyright
 - How you intend to store the data on Filecoin, e.g. redundancy, location / miner preferences, etc
 - Have you already ask datacap to another notary that have been accepted or rejected.
 - Do you run a storage miner ?
 - How much data are you considering storing to your own miner ?
 - Please describe the nature of the relationship with this miner especially if you've got any interests in storing these miners ?
 - Will you agree to share here all the CIDs related to the datacap ?
 - Did you already have datacap from another notary ?
 - Adress confirmation
 - Entity proof : 
     - certificate of incorporation, business evidence and reputation
     - business address and location, etc..
 - Requester personal information : 
     - Bylaws / authorization from the company / title
     - Identity card / passport delivered by government and valid. 

If the data is private, I ask much more information and authorization from the client to audit the data unencrypted.

- Asking for commitment and transparency from the client

What processes will you employ when granting additional DataCap to a client that has previously been verified? This includes confirming that the client is not improperly using the DataCap they were previously granted, i.e., making deals with a single SP entity.

1. Commit the client on how the datacap will be consumed : 
2. Verify once the datacap is consumed : 
- Check on https://filplus.d.interplanetary.one how the data is spread across miners
- Audit a few deals (as soon its achievable),  
3. Iterate

Bookkeeping Plan

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

For transparency purpose, I plan to provide all the allocation decisions in public via a GitHub repo. I will also agree to align the process the other notaries and the community; keeping in mind the processes we put in place have to be efficient. 
I will answer to any audits requests.

Where do you plan on keeping a publicly accessible record of all your allocation decisions?

For transparency purpose, I provide all the allocation decisions in public via a GitHub repo. I will also agree to align the process the other notaries and the community. 
Private allocation will need more tooling and tracking that are not here yet. Depending on the volume of such requests I may consider accepting private requests.
