CIP 0050 - Controlled Validator Growth Through Trusted Operators

I see no reason for this to be a CIP

The Tokenomics committee is currently responsible for designating approved new Validators to the Network and we were discussing how the committee would modify its process of decision making going forward

The clarification being proposed at the Tokenomics Committee is...

1. If someone is joining the network as a new Validator operator then the committee will continue to vet those applications on a case by case basis

2. If someone is joining the network via an existing Validator operator, then there is no need for the committee to vet those applicants, the operator can choose to support its customers as it sees fit

The only caveat to #2 is that we are still working on a measured roll out so the committee is recommending that we extend each operator the ability to add 10 Validators at any time and then come back to the group to make sure not growing too quickly

Hello,

Please find the cip-0050 open for discussion at the PR https://github.com/global-synchronizer-foundation/cips/pull/39

In order to move to a vote we are requesting a Super Validator to sponsor the CIP and a second Super Validator to endorse the CIP.

Any SV sponsors/endorses or changes needed?

Some questions that it might be useful to clarify:

* Should there be two forms on the GSF website:
one for Validator Operators, and
one for people / organizations seeking an Operator?
Or would it be better to just make clear that the current form is just to request approval as an Operator?

* Can Operators onboard anonymous entities, or will we require unique contact information for the owner / controlling entity of each onboarded node?

* Will all the whitelisting requests come from an approved Validator operators, to the SV that originally sponsored that SV Operator

I would think 1 form is enough explaining at the top that it's only an application for new operators and listing contact information for existing operators they can reach out to instead of filling out the form

operators can onboard whoever they would like, the other operators in the network don't need to know who they are

whitelisting will come from the operator, should just go to the GSF SV in my opinion

I have changed the form to make this a little clearer.

Hello,

We should give contact information at the top of the form for all the existing operators interested in running for others.

Can I get that contact information to add for those interested?

Hello,

I have changed the form to make this a little clearer.

We should give contact information at the top of the form for all the existing operators interested in running for others.

Can I get that contact information to add for those interested?

Thanks,

I would think 1 form is enough explaining at the top that it's only an application for new operators and listing contact information for existing operators they can reach out to instead of filling out the form

operators can onboard whoever they would like, the other operators in the network don't need to know who they are

whitelisting will come from the operator, should just go to the GSF SV in my opinion

Some questions that it might be useful to clarify:

* Should there be two forms on the GSF website:
one for Validator Operators, and
one for people / organizations seeking an Operator?
Or would it be better to just make clear that the current form is just to request approval as an Operator?

* Can Operators onboard anonymous entities, or will we require unique contact information for the owner / controlling entity of each onboarded node?

* Will all the whitelisting requests come from an approved Validator operators, to the SV that originally sponsored that SV Operator

Hi All,

Regarding this CIP, I wanted to get some clarification on Lines 20-23 that state the following:

20. Existing Validator operators will be authorized to create up to 10 additional Validators for third-party participants.

21. Third-party applicants wishing to run a Validator will be redirected to an existing operator

22. Pre-approved operators, such as Kiln, will retain their prior allocations (e.g., 30 Validators).

23. Operators such as IEU, MPCH, Proof Group, and others already running their own Validators will be given discretion in onboarding third-party Validators.

Does Line 23 mean that IEU, MPCH and Proof Group can onboard as many third-party validators as they see fit based on their discretion or would they only be authorized to create up to 10 additional Validators for third parties as mentioned in Line 20 for existing operators? If it's the former, then I would suggest that we make this distinction of "Featured Validator Operators" that have the ability to onboard unlimited third-party validators at their discretion, noting that Featured status can be granted after a proven history of effectively running validators.

Thanks,

Chris

Would a member of the GSF Tokenomics working group / committee like to comment or clarify?

Hello,

We had some great conversation on this CIP. We have updated the CIP based on the feedback here and in the GitHub PR.

We are proposing this as a process CIP, not a change in governance. The goal is clarify the process and answer questions publicly to reduce confusion.

In order to move to a vote, we are requesting Super Validator Node Owners to sponsor and endorse the CIP.

Any SV Node Owners willing to sponsor/endorse, or are other change needed?

I still see no reason for this to be a CIP

I'm not opposed if anyone wants to sponsor
