There’s an open proposal for changing subnet membership - https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/131704. This information is presented below:
- 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 a node sits within (red if the country is removed, green if added, otherwise grey)
Table
The proposal summary states:
Motivation: replacing 1 unhealthy node; replacing 1 node to improve subnet decentralization
The unhealthy node refers to ihttm-45oz5-an5mg-i2jtb-fayst-s47j6-vmuwr-fqotf-mp2il-n5s5x-cae which is degraded.
The other node removed by this proposal ( bptaj-nejw4-osqqa-zwrej-ysl2o-5ffgj-hkjr6-2w6fi-jczex-vjutw-iae) appears healthy, is located in Estonia, and owned by Telia DG (which doesn’t own any other node in this subnet). I think it’s unclear why this node is being removed…
The 2 nodes that are proposed to replace these far flung nodes are both located in central Europe (Germany and Switzerland), practically on each other’s doorstep by comparison.
I’ve rejected this proposal because the outcome seems in clear contradiction with the proposal summary. The summary could have been clearer about what it’s trying to achieve and why.
