Thank you SvenF. I struggled a little with this, I hope the following is correct.
I note this has now been submitted to a moderator for approval.
Dear all,
After successfull proposal becoming node provider ( Proposal: 123923 - ICP Dashboard ), we would like to add best in country Tier 3 datacenter Baltneta in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius and name it bt1. You can find this proposal here : Proposal: 123952 - ICP Dashboard . This would be first datacenter added in Baltic states and would help greatly for better coverage of Europe’s ICP network.
If you have any questions or suggestions don’t hesitate to reply under this thread.
Thank you, Rokas Ambrazaitis,

Hi Everyone
Exciting News! Over the next 6 months period in different phases, we’re deploying 10 nodes in a Tier 3 data center in Colombo, Sri Lanka, using a Tier 1 ISP. Check out the proposal here: Proposal - ICP Dashboard. Onward! 
Cheers

Hello all!
I’m Louise, a software engineer at Aviate Labs who also manages Allusion’s Nodes in Belgium (AN1, BR1 and BR2).
I’m reaching out to share news about our latest contribution to the IC Wiki that we felt was very much needed!
Recognizing the importance of seamless onboarding for potential NPs, we’ve created a visual guide with accompanying text, outlining the NP journey step by step. This resource is based on existing wiki materials and insights from the IC Forum and it is aimed at simplifying the process by helping aspiring NPs navigate the information that is currently on the wiki.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Louise
P.S. If you have any comments/feedback on how to improve the wiki page, I would be happy to set up a brief call or exchange emails. Your insights will help refine this resource for the next NPs!

Hi SvenF
Thanks for your support in the onboarding process of IC Node Provider!
Here is our nns proposal which was resubmitted according to your instruction.
https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/124024
Look forward to the community’s reveiw and approval.
Hi All
It has been a while since adding the data centre to the NNS in May 2023.
The first servers are due to be delivered by the end of the month.
Please support proposal 124043 to add 6 nodes in sc1 on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards
Karel
Hey SvenF
I am so glad our nns proposal has got the kind approval from IC community.
https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/124024
Currently we have reached out to 3 data centers in Thailand and still in the final negotiation with them to ensure the qualified DC can provide best service to IC network.
Therefore, before we make the decision:
Appreciate your further suggestion!
Hi @Lisa_Crato,
As you can see from the wiki page (Node Provider Remuneration - Internet Computer Wiki) there is currently no country entry for Thailand. With the latest node providers onboarding, there are now over 500 node machines active in 36 subnets, with new node machines in Canada, India, China, South Africa and shortly Australia and Sri Lanka as well. This is sufficient for the running the current load of canisters on every subnet, and for the decentralisation of the subnets (measured in Nakamoto coefficients). Hence there is no plan yet to add any new countries to the remuneration table.
Work is in progress on a IC Topology Roadmap for the next half year and the next year, with the objective to assess how many node machines and where new node machines are required for further growth and decentralisation of the IC network. Based on that, the topic on what countries to add to the remuneration table will be brought up for discussion on the IC Forum, and subsequently NNS proposals will be made for voting by the community.
So for now, I suggest to wait for the end of Q3/beginning of Q4 when this topic will be brought up in the forum. Since you seem to be based on Hong Kong (from what I read in your Identity document and Self-declaration), you could already consider setting up a node machine in Hong Kong as it is included in the remuneration table?
Hey SvenF
Thanks for the valuable information!
Sorry that I didn’t notice the details. Just cannot wait to join IC network.
We will contact with one of our HK DC partners for further details, and meanwhile we wonder how to particiate in the topic on what countries to add to the remuneration table at the end of Q3/beginning of Q4.
When the topic is brought up, we can share our opinions or it needs voting?
We do have some strong partners in Thailand, which are willing to support IC network if possible.
Thanks again.
Lisa
Hey @Lisa_Crato,
Great to hear you want to start asap!
For Thailand, definitely interested to have your feedback once we start bringing up the topic. For the remuneration we need proper data points from Data Centers and HW Vendors for the costs in Thailand, as that will determine the level of the remuneration. So if you are already talking and discussing with Data Centers on hosting, rack-space and networking costs, please go ahead and I would love to hear your experience,
Talk soon,
Sven
Hi @Lisa_Crato ,
I wanted to express my interest in setting up nodes in Bangkok, Thailand, which also happens to be my hometown. I noticed the remark regarding data center and networking costs by @SvenF, and I thought it might be useful to mention that I’ve already established contacts with data centers and ISPs in Bangkok, and I have some cost estimates available.
If you’re open to it, I’d be delighted to have a more in-depth conversation to explore how we might collaborate. I’ve also sent you a direct message via the forum for further discussion.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Louise
Hello All,
Thank you for accepting my proposal to join the network Proposal: 123944 - ICP Dashboard. I have now added a new proposal to register a colocation data center as “gn1” in “Asia,IN,Greater Noida”. Please see the rest of the details in my proposal here -Proposal: 124291 - ICP Dashboard
The plan is to install 6 to 10 nodes at the data center https://yotta.com/.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Your support and votes to accept my proposal would be greatly appreciated!
Looks like 2 proposals were submitted for the new data center. The first proposal that currently has votes for is proposing the ID as dl1. This already belongs to a Dallas data center owned by Flexential. This proposal should be rejected but i see a lot of votes for already. Just want to point out to everyone the second proposal listing the data center ID as gn1 is the proposal that should be getting approval.
Hi @sagcryptoicp @Yeenoghu thanks for the update, just want to let you know that the first proposal will fail to execute as the NNS checks whether the data center name already exists.
Good to know. Noticed the discrepancy while i was voting and wasn’t 100% sure how the mechanism worked there so i thought i would pass it along.
Hi SvenF
According to current rules of NP, we decided to make a step forward in HongKong first.
We have submitted our DC proposal in below link:
https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/124337
Thanks!
Lisa
Dear all, we are in the process of onboarding our nodes and have noticed a mistake was made in regards to our node operator principal. We therefore are creating two new proposals, one to add a new operator principal (Proposal: 124343 - ICP Dashboard) and one to remove the old operator principal (Proposal: 124451 - ICP Dashboard). We thank the community for their support of these proposals.
Best regards,
George
Dear All,
I hope this message finds you all in good health. I would like to be a Node Provider for the IC with the entity I registered for this purpose - Wolkboer (Pty) Ltd. I would like to add 6 of nodes in South Africa.
As per the documentation and forum posts, I attempted to add a wiki page with my Proof of Identity and Self-declaration. It has been referred to “moderation”.
I am not even sure if I did it correctly.
Does anybody know how long this moderation process takes?
Best regards
Wolkboer
Hi @wolkboer, documents ar enow visible under the Self-declaration section on the Internet Computer wiki. Best, Sven
