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.

Allocation Plan:
1.We will verify customers into two categories: Existing customers and New Customers
2.For existing customers, we need to check if there is any violation of international and local laws, filecoin’s standards and ethics. For new customers, we will go through a specific KYC for individual clients or corporate clients.
3. After the KYC and client identify verification, the client who apply for the DataCap will go through a scoring process based on their applications and evidence as below: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkVkIgVduJDq3ic02X-r60epc3Fa62APM9kD88q4DBo/edit?usp=sharing
4. The final sore will be given based on the Client Identity, Diversity, Decentralization, Allocation Strategy. For each sector we give a score of 0-7, eventually, the total score will be fit into a DataCap table to give the final granted amount of DataCap.
5. The granted amount of DataCap will be confirmed and verified with remaining DataCap, then the granted amount will be allocated to client.

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

A hardware wallet will be used to store the keys for DataCap address.

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 will go through a comprehensive due diligent process to make sure the client spending DataCap responsibly.
Firstly, we need to confirm their identification.
For individual customers, the verification of their identity will be verified through:
1.Identification number
2.Name
3.Data of birth
4.Copy of Passport
5.Address
6.Social media account (Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter)
7.Local Offices Contact Details
8.Social reputation (Prize, Achievement)
For corporate clients, the verification of their identity will be verified through:
1.Company Registration Certificate/Operating Licence
2.Address
3.Website
4.Social media account (Facebook/Linkedin/Twitter)
5.Record of law suits and legal reputation
6.Company equity structure and key stakeholders
7.Scanned copy of letter from company with stamps and signature of director/stakeholder from the company
Stakeholder due diligence process for company shares/equity over 20%. (Stakeholder due diligence process will be similar to the above process, until the final beneficiary/the-actual-stakeholder is found.)

We will ask the following questions:

We will ask customers the following questions:
1.Can you identify yourself as organization or individual?  Your name/Your organization name?
2.What is your/ your organization social media/website link?
3.how much data you want to store? Can you specify the data you want to store according to use case type, source and by how much in each category? 
4.Are you receiving DataCap from other notaries? If yes, can you list their names?
5.What cloud service/platform do you use, can you describe to me your usage frequency, volume, price/rates and purpose?
6.How many miners do you want to allocate your data to? How much data for each miner?
7.Can you provide transparency on your DataCap allocation/decision/ execution respectively? 
8.What are the advance FileCoin features do you use to apply your DataCap allocation?
9.What content you’re going to store, does this content comply with local law and FileCoin community standards and regulation?
is there any potential client will paid for the content you store? 
10.Where do you store these data, how much in total, and how much do you pay respectively per year?

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.

Firstly, we will carry out a very detailed KYC and due diligence process. We will encourage customers to allocate DataCap to new miners, and we will design a plan for each new miner, new allocation will have some incentives.
Also, we will record the DataCap data including trading data, allocation data etc., and ask the client to disclose the relevant information.
We will develop a software tool to automatically check for over-allocation and make sure the DataCap for last allocation was fully used before next round of application.In addition, we will hire some technical compliance analysts to manually check for over-allocation.
And all the allocation results will be published on the GitHub.

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?

We will keep every detail record for all allocation decisions on Github, including time, amount, allocated customers, reason for allocation, etc. Since all interactions and decisions will be carried out openly, most of the allocation decisions should be self-explanatory. Any challenges raised regarding allocation decisions should be discussed publicly, e.g. the Github Repo.

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

In both, we will keep the public GitHub records and a private chat via Slack or Telegram.
