Remove from registry Node Operators

Proposal 136699 – Louise | Aviate Labs
Vote: REJECT
Review:
This proposal removes Node Operator (NO) records that currently have no registered nodes and no rewardable nodes.

I have verified using the dre tool that the listed NO IDs do not have any nodes present in the registry. Additionally, I have confirmed with the ic-admin tool that these NO IDs currently have no rewardable nodes.

That said, some of the NO records in this proposal were only recently adopted as part of the HSM-less migration. These were created to support the transition from an HSM-based NO ID to a new HSM-less NO ID. At present, these NO IDs show 0 rewardable nodes because NPs were advised by DFINITY to hold off on the HSM-less transition process via Matrix.

Below are the NO records for which the above applies.

jqwj7 135173
ozfkj 135552
rpfog 135158
zsywq 135157

Given the context above, I believe this proposal should be rejected, as it includes Node Operator records that currently have zero rewardable nodes because these NPs were advised to pause the migration.

A revised proposal should be submitted that excludes these NO IDs. When it is clear the to resume the HSM-less migration, and these NOs still have no rewardable nodes, it would then be appropriate to consider their removal.
