Proposal 135665 Review | Lorimer - CO.DELTA △
VOTE: NO (note that this proposal has already executed)
TLDR: One of the nodes being added to this subnet is actually offline. I’m not sure if it was online when the proposal was raised. It therefore objectively worsens the health of the subnet.
This proposal was motivated by unsubstantiated concerns of collusion risk. Note that while the motion mentions me and links to a post that I created - I was not personally responsible for the primary claims in this motion . This Subnet Membership proposal errs on the side of caution by moving a few of the mentioned NPs out of the Fiduciary subnet while further discussion takes place (other proposals have been raised for the NNS and II subnets).
Country Discrepancies (4)
Most discrepancies are minor in terms of distance, but the Canada-US one is huge, which is surprising given hat ipinfo.io utilises probe networks for better geolocation accuracy. The node in question isn’t directly affected by this proposal though. Something to revisit…

Decentralisation Stats
Subnet node distance stats (distance between any 2 nodes in the subnet) →
| Smallest Distance | Average Distance | Largest Distance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 0 km | 8034.722 km | 19461.421 km |
| PROPOSED | 0 km | 7989.507 km (-0.6%) | 19461.421 km |
This proposal slightly reduces decentralisation, considered purely in terms of geographic distance (and therefore there’s a slight theoretical reduction 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 (coming soon) 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.
