Proposal #135860 Review — Louise | Aviate Labs
Vote: ADOPT
Review:
I had previously voted to reject this proposal. This can be seen in my review linked here.
The main reason for rejecting that proposal was because the Node Provider did appear to have the documents (Self Declaration and Proof of Identity) and corresponding hashes on their self declaration page.
However, as @Thyassa pointed out, this Node Provider has 0 forum activity, and from the voting history on their proposal, it’s clear that the community was not aware the proposal was live for voting. Granted, this was before there were community reviewers that bring more awareness to these proposals.
Because of this, I have decided to adopt this proposal. To quote Sven’s original post that opened the “New Node Provider Proposals” forum thread, he said:
While “the way to validate” still has a lot of room for improvement, the community has to be notified so that they have the chance to preform the validation they see fit. And that was not done in this case.
Currently, a forum post isn’t a hard requirement but, I believe it is minimum that can be done to announce to the community your intent to join the network. So going forward, I will stick to this principle when voting on future proposals that add node providers to the network.
Additional Comment:
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to tag this Node Provider (I don’t think they have a forum account), but I invite them to submit another proposal so that it can go through the proper community review. If all criteria is met, I have no issues adopting that proposal.
