New Node Provider Proposals

Hi @Protocol16 and community :wave:

Proposal #134358 Review — Louise | Aviate Labs

Vote: REJECT

Review:

  • Technically, this proposal meets the usual criteria.
  • However, it references the same documentation used for a prior proposal to add a node provider, so the fact it meets this criteria is to be expected.
  • I am voting to reject this proposal because, while not explicitly outlined in any guidelines, I believe there should be a one-to-one relationship between an NP self-declaration and the node provider ID.
  • Allowing a new NP to be added to the NNS with the same self-declaration effectively enables the same entity to have multiple NP principals.
  • The consequence is that, despite being the same entity, having multiple principals would allow said entity to operate more than 42 nodes, circumventing the node cap.
  • To avoid setting a precedent for this, I vote to reject the proposal.
