Thanks @Alexu, which ones have volunteered? Regarding the pilot programme, have you read this?
In any case, a confirmed non-disclosure agreement between two node providers about their affairs is insufficient interdependence for you to consider them clustered? You think the IC should consider parties of this sort as meeting the ‘Independent Parties’ imperative?
Why wait an indeterminate amount of time to learn what’s already known (that certain NPs cannot currently be regarded as independent).
