We’re a verifiably decentralised collective who review IC deltas (changes applied by NNS proposals). We follow a common code:
Look: We observe the details and context of NNS proposals
Test: We test and verify the claims made by those proposals
Automate: We automate as much as possible by building increasingly sophisticated tools that streamline and strengthen the reviewal process.
Every vote cast by CO.DELTA is the result of consensus among diligent, skilled and experienced team members acting independently. The CO.DELTA neuron follows the vote of D-QUORUM on NNS topics that the CO.DELTA team does not handle directly. You can therefore follow CO.DELTA on all topics and rely on the highest quality of vote.

TLDR:
In line with the forum discussion on increasing the target topology to support the launch of Caffeine, and following the intent of proposal 137147, this proposal creates a new application subnet for US. Issue is there is no proper validation method currently implemented for Nakamoto Coefficient calculations which is based on the global distribution. Country adjusted implementation still falls short. I would suggest to have country based calculation implemented that justifies node distribution before new country base subnet is implemented. Vote to reject.
Repetition across CyrusOne, Datasite, and Tierpoint

DFINITY Foundation has REJECTed 137235 (US-only subnet). We would like to thank our vigilant reviewers for pointing out the inconsistency between the proposal and the DC Ownership limit in the Target Topology. We’ll do better planning and be back with new proposal(s) soon. Stay tuned!
Swiss Subnet is an initiative of Swiss Subnet AG, which decided to rent this to use this subnet exclusively for its own purposes. US subnet isn’t like this. It will be a publicly available subnet, just like other application subnets, including European one.
Using the ic-admin tool I verified that the settings in the payload of each proposal match those typically set for other application subnets, with the exception that max_number_of_canisters:0 is set for each of the new subnets, meaning that canisters cannot yet be added until this setting is changed.
Using the decentralization tool I tabulated the node machines that have been proposed as the initial members of the new subnets. The table can be seen by using this link. As shown, all of the current topology targets set by proposal 137147 are met.
About CodeGov CodeGov has a team of developers who review and vote independently on the following proposal topics: IC-OS Version Election, Protocol Canister Management, Subnet Management, API Boundary API Boundary Node Management, Node Admin and Participant Management. The CodeGov NNS known neuron is configured to follow our reviewers on these technical topics. We also have a group of Followees who vote independently on the Governance and the SNS & Neurons' Fund topics. We strive to be a credible and reliable Followee option that votes on every proposal and every proposal topic in the NNS. We also support decentralisation of SNS projects such as WaterNeuron, KongSwap, and Alice with a known neuron and credible Followees.

TLDR: The proposed subnet topology contains 2 nodes from the rbn2y+g7dkt+acqus cluster (more than 1 breaks the ‘independent party’ imperative that each subnet needs to adhere to). The nodes involved are:
The above subnet information is illustrated below, followed by a node reference table:
Map Description
Red marker represents a removed node (transparent center for overlap visibility)
Green marker represents an added node
Blue marker represents an unchanged node
Highlighted patches represent the country the above nodes sit within (red if the country is removed, green if added, otherwise grey)
Light grey markers with yellow borders are examples of unassigned nodes that would be viable candidates for joining the subnet according to formal decentralisation coefficients (so this proposal can be viewed in the context of alternative solutions that are not being used)
Black dotted line connects to a small black marker that shows where the IP address indicates the node is located (according to ipinfo.io). This is only displayed if it conflicts with where IC records indicate the node is located. See Country Discrepancies section above for more info.

TLDR: Creates a new subnet that conforms to the IC Target Topology (see Decentralisation Stats) and with configuration that is consistent with other application subnets, as illustrated below (see here for a description of this table).
