Poll Idea: Pre-Authorized Whitelist Process Proposal - Request for Feedback

[PrestackI]

Poll Name Pre-Authorized Whitelist Process Proposal

Poll Description Gridcoin would like to offer a path for developing projects to be guaranteed access to the computational power provided by the Gridcoin network. If a project wants access to the Gridcoin network once they start producing workunits, this proposal would allow them to submit their project design at the start or mid-way through development to be pre-authorized for the whitelist.

Required Information:

• Detailed Project Description
• Explanation of Work
• Schedule of Development Timeframe
• Disclosure of Source of Funding (if any)
• Schedule of Expected Workunit Production
• Document Doublechecking and Cheating Prevention Process.

Potential Benefits:

• Projects that are expecting to rely on the Gridcoin network would reduce the risk of failing a poll vote.
• Incentivization of new and/or smaller projects in pursuing development.
• In line with Gridcoin's central value of supporting the development of science.

Potential Downside:

• Costs associated with marketing the new proposal.
• Increased workload for Gridcoin development team.
• Potential lack of interest from overall science community.

Terms:

• A project submits a Detailed Project Description, Explanation of Work, Estimated Development Timeframe, Disclosure of Source of Funding (if any), and a Schedule of Expected Workunit Production.
• Items must be submitted on a forum accessiable to all community members and must pass a Project Listing poll with 20% AVW and a minimum 21 day duration.
• Project must be in line with Project Description and able to meet Schedule of Expected Workunit Production along with all other Gridcoin whitelist criteria.
• If the project passes the Project Listing poll, the project has to the end of their Development Timeframe to initialize the project.

Rejection Criteria: If significant deviations from the initial Project Description are found by the community/development team at any point during the project or the project fails to deliver the Expected Workunit Production Schedule - the project will be greylisted and must go through another whitelist vote.

I am 4K short for making a poll.

Who do we ask to make it?

@jamescowens I am now 3,235.85 short of a poll.

Quick question, is the 100K locked when I make the poll?

"Locked" meaning that it will be unavailable for staking?

Closing due to reflection on the idea. Probably not a good idea to offer a service...
