Allocation Plan [refer to the Rubric to see how this impacts your Notary score](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/172-sbd5qzdbSofvL_C5FHRyXEsTUpMiKspItygAVJA4/edit?usp=sharings)

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.

1. Ensure the authenticity and validity of the applicant and prevent deception
    Newly applied clients need to provide the necessary information to review:
A.	Basic information of the client entity name, data type, business scope, etc. If there is a referrer, ask the referrer for the client's history information. 
B.	The geographical location of the server used to propose deal. We will require a specific domain name or IP address for later tracking and must also meet the proposing rules of FIL+. 
C.	Sack name. It is required a valid slack name, used to collect information, or further contact. 
D.	Has there been any projects involved in the community in the past? If yes, how did the projects involved perform, whether there is a negative history. It is necessary to communicate with the person in charge of the projects involved, and get necessary information, etc.
We will give a comprehensive score according to multiple latitudes, please refer to the attachment for specific information 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ItWjuddDPZpFBE84dzNJxBM24AhZHDJcWsu9RY3xG4/edit?usp=sharing
)

2.	Ensure the client follows the rules after getting the DC
After the review is passed, the DCs are allocated in a step-by-step manner. 
After the entire DC is allocated, it will continue to track whether the entire packaging process meets the deal rules. If any doubts are found, the distribution will be paused, and the review process will be restarted. 
The monitoring process will rely on https: //filplus.info/ github slack channel / Comprehensive monitoring of information on the chain
The entire review rules will also be updated and iterated according to the actual situation, the progress of the project, and new features. 

Given that a lot of non-distribution according to the rules occurred during the Slingshot v2, we will increase the requirements for applicants with a negative history. 
In short, our idea is to ensure that the client is real and effective and strictly follow the rules of the FIL+. Our team will have a member responsible for managing the entire process, responsible for organizing the allocation of resources, and strictly control to ensure that the project is running as required

Notes: Due to the different allocation requirements of multiple projects in the community, we will keep up with it. Meanwhile, the changes of FIL+E, Slingshot V3 and other projects will be continuously updated, and the allocation rules will be adjusted if necessary.

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

By using Ledger Nano X wallet and  multisig-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?

1.We will conduct due diligence on all clients applying and review the usage of DataCap upon approval.
For corporate entities or organizations, we will verify their entity information, including business licenses, official websites, media accounts, beneficiaries, business types, data sources, usage plans, etc.
For customers who have been allocated DataCaps, we will continue to review them to determine whether customers are using DataCaps as promised. If it does not pass the review, we will add it to the blacklist and make it public. 
We mainly review customers from the following aspects:
A. We require clients assigned to DataCap data to provide transaction CID and miner ID.
B. For public data, we will conduct random checks.
C. For customers assigned to DataCap, we will verify whether it is distributed to storage providers in at least three different cities or regions to improve the security of data storage.
D. If the above data fails to pass the review, the score of the applicant will be lowered and the next quota will be affected. In serious cases, it will be directly entered into the blacklist and publicized.

2.For new clients, we will ask them the following questions to know about the client and to be clear about the client's handling of DataCap.
A. Please introduce yourself, including but not limited to business model, business scale, etc.
B. Your website or social medias, such as Twitter and Linkedin.
C. The name, nature, country of registration, time of establishment, business license, number of employees, number of customers/users, etc. of your organization.
D. What do you want from Filecoin? Any suggestions or expectations for the Filecoin network?
E. Please describe your data volume, source, and later planning, and whether it can be made public.
F. Whether your DataCap has requirements for the storage area, whether you have an intentional storage service provider, and how many storage service providers you plan to allocate to. If you are interested in a storage service provider, please list the miner's ID and the storage ratio of each miner. 
G. Do you agree to disclose trading information? If agreed, where can we check these information. 

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.

As metioned above
A. We require clients assigned to DataCap data to provide transaction CID and miner ID.
B. For public data, we will conduct random checks.
C. For customers assigned to DataCap, we will verify whether it is distributed to storage providers in at least three different cities or regions to improve the security of data storage.
D. If the above data fails to pass the review, the score of the applicant will be lowered and the next quota will be affected. In serious cases, it will be directly entered into the blacklist and publicized.
etc

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?

The notary agency may appoint another notary for arbitration to resolve the dispute. Based on arbitrator's decision, a hearing may be held within 30 calendar days of the dispute resolution application.
