The proposal replaces a node with high failure rate on subnet 4zbus:
inconsistent node kwictDashboard Status: Active with node bqplpDashboard Status: Awaiting.
Although the average failure rate of this node being 7% sitting just below the 10% threshold used for reward reduction, over the past days the node has been inconsistent in it’s performance with some days having a failure rate of up to 41% as can be checked in the Node Provider Rewards
There is no impact in the overall decentralization across all features.
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, 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 & Neuron’s 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 decentralization of SNS projects such as WaterNeuron, KongSwap, and Alice with a known neuron and credible Followees.

TLDR: Replaces an online node (that has had unstable performance recently) with an unassigned node. This also improves decentralisation in terms of the average distance between nodes, and clustering withing continents.

This proposal increases decentralisation, considered purely in terms of geographic distance (and therefore there’s a slight theoretical increase in localised disaster resilience).

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.
You may wish to follow the CO.DELTA known neuron if you found this analysis helpful.
CO.DELTA △
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.
Note that this analysis involved data provided by the IC-API, which is not open source. I’m in the process of switching over to more verifiable sources of this sort of information for future proposal reviews. See here for related discussion.
TLDR:
The proposal replaces an unstable node in South Moravian (EU) as mentioned by @aligatorr89 via the node rewards dashboard, the node seems to be having issues increasing failure rate to 40% in some days. No issues were found in the nodes or locations proposed and decentralization stats remain the same. I vote to adopt
Node kwict…: Remove from Subnet check passed. Node bqplp…: Replacement Status check passed.

This proposal replaces 1 node in subnet 4zbus, appearing in the decentralization tool as “UP”, but showing a significant block failure rate (up to 36%) using the Node Provider Rewards tool. As shown in the proposal, decentralisation parameters are unchanged and remain within the requirements of the target topology.

Reason: The proposal replaces a a high failure rate node kwict from Czechia with unassigned healthy Awaiting status node bqplp from Hong Kong without any change to decentralization.
