Link to rubric: We need a final confirmation on region before proceeding with finalizing scoring or election: EU/NA? |
|
Hi @dkkapur, The Filecoin Foundation would like to stay in the EU region, since this is the region where we have done our previous notary work we think that we think we would be more effective in this region than moving to NA, so we can use the expertise we've developed allocating data cap for EU clients in this next round. |

@tinkmk - based on this Notary election cycle's final scoring, you/your organization has qualified to be a Fil+ Notary!

Please confirm that the region of operation for client applications you will focus on is [Europe] Confirming Europe as region of operation 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. I agree to the above statement 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. I agree to the above statement 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. I agree to the above statement 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. I agree to the above statement 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. Agreed (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. f1k6wwevxvp466ybil7y2scqlhtnrz5atjkkyvm4a In the case of the Filecoin Foundation - there is an existing allocation of ~8.5 TiB that was stated to not be allocated in the future. Can you confirm this will remain the case, and we can request the RKHs to remove that previous allocation? If not, you will only receive 1024 - 8.5 = 1015.5 TiB in this cycle. I can confirm this is the case |
