Allocation Plan refer to the Rubric to see how this impacts your Notary score

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can. This includes the target amount per client and rate at which you'll allocate DataCap.

We will focus on the system rules, improvement and process construction of DataCap allocation.

By carefully reading the roles/responsibilities as a notary, we worked out a plan to make sure the DataCap is granted fair, square and publicly.

When assigning DataCap, we plan to establish a credit and scoring mechanism to screen out the highest-scoring clients through investigation and discussion. 

The detailed scoring criteria is attached below, link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19FvtvUNHOViD885xdZ5QZO-zdlTAEtLlZWvy40meuqI/edit?usp=sharing

The credit score depends on the following factors:
- Provide completeness and transparency of registration information;
- Company registered capital, establishment time, number of employees, bisiness reputation, team/personal background;
- Storage cluster capacity, redundancy design and security strategy;
- Continuity and authenticity of stored data.

The data score will have a threshold, and clients below this threshold will be banned. The higher the score, the more DataCap quota can be allocated.

After the pre-review of the above conditions, we will screen out eligible storage clients, and continue to tracking, continue to optimize and adjust the process, the subsequent tracking and feedback mainly reference to the following elements:
- The degree of dispersion and fairness of DataCap allocation;
- Data storage success rate of each client;
- Transparency of distribution;

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

We plan to use a hardware wallet like Ledger to manage the DataCap allocation wallet.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet the clients that are applying for DataCap? What questions will you ask to ensure your trust is placed well and that clients can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them?

We need to investigate and understand clients detailed. Clients need to clarify how the DataCap will be allocated, build a fair mechanism.

Given the basic information provided in the application, we are going to collect detailed and reliable information of clients.

Before approval, we need collect information including:
1. Entity or individual Information
  - Organization name, business license, official website, the stakeholder list with control over 25% of the entity;
  - Government-issued identification number for the entity;
  For individuals, please provide:
  - ID card copy;
  - Job title in which company, or other certificates to prove the identity.

  The above mentioned info will be sent by official email where applicable.

2. Data details and use case
  Describe the data that will be saved in Filecoin system in details;
  - Data types with what format;
  - Data capacity in client hands for now;
  - Increase rate of data per week in future;
  - Data sourced from (business operations, research or others);
  - Whether or not the data is highly sensitive, any personal privacy involved;
  - Any violation against laws if the public has easy access to the data;

3. Information on how to interact with SPs
  - How many copies of these data will be saved to SPs;
  - SP lists that client have contacted;
  - The ways where to find SPs;
  - How to package these data and send them to SPs;
  - Areas that client want to save their data;
  - The proportion of the storage for each SP (no more than 25%);

After approval, keep an eye on datacap usage:
1. If the DataCap remains unallocated for a certain time, explain the reason why this happens?
2. Any help needed from the notary to find some SPs?
3. If a single SP stores over 25% of data, or the number of SP is lower than promised in application, ask them to make modifications as soon as possible and explain why?

What processes will you employ when granting additional DataCap to a client that has previously been verified? This includes confirming that the client is not improperly using the DataCap they were previously granted, i.e., making deals with a single SP entity.

It is required to publish transaction information, including storage provider ID, allocation proportion and the source of storage providers, etc. , and will be reviewed per week.

We will check if or not >75% dataCap used up or not? and then check if or not the SP number is the same as planned, no single SP stores >25% of the deal, ask them to make adjustment if required; besides, we will pay attention to the  github/slack messages, detecting any risk for self-dealing; any misconduct about DataCap using is not allowed.

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on conducting all your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both?

Yes, I fully support the recording of the allocation decision, all processes will be published on Github repository.

Where do you plan on keeping a publicly accessible record of all your allocation decisions?

Sure thing, we will take the public allocation on Github repo to make sure the principle of fairness, transparency and openness.
