Client Diligence

10. Who are your target clients?
Individuals learning about Filecoin,Small-scale developers or data owners,Enterprise Data Clients

11. Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
Client due diligence is largely divided into individuals and organizations. It is not much different from the existing manual due diligence method.
1 Due diligence on individuals and small developers or data owners
⁃ Most individual clients can check their identities through online accounts. They check their identities through GitHub accounts, Linkedin, and SNS (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, etc.).
⁃ Check whether the DC application homepage (https://filplus.storage/apply) is KYC.
Questions for client due diligence
(1) Please introduce me to know you.
(2) Please let me know the SNS, mail, and Slack accounts of the means of contacting you.
(4) If there is an organization you belong to, please introduce it. Please let me know your homepage, type of organization, and your position and role in the organization.
(3) How did you learn about Filecoin Plus (FIL+)? If you're not sure, I'll let you know more during the due diligence.
2 Enterprise data client due diligence
⁃ Check the applicant's KYC status and personal contact information (SNS, mail, Slack).
⁃ Receive the DC application number title in the organization's email to verify that the applicant is affiliated with the organization or organization.
⁃ Check the facts with the institution or organization that applied for DC. For example, check the website, business registration certificate, corporate certificate, and other government-issued group certificates.

Questions for institutional or organizational due diligence
(1) Please explain in detail about the organization you belong to.
(2) How did you learn about Filecoin Plus (FIL+)? If you're not sure, I'll let you know more during the due diligence.
(3) Are you familiar with the workflow and regulations of FileCoin Plus (FIL+)?

12. Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
The questions are as follows.
(1) Have you applied for DC before?
(2) Please tell me the type of DC you have received before and the application number.
(3) Please introduce the data you want to store using DC.
(4) Is the data you want to save public data?
(5) Please prove the amount and ownership of the data.
(6) Did you select the SP you want to save? Please tell me about the selected SPs and nodes.
(7) How do you plan to distribute your data?
(8) What kind of methods do you usually use to deliver your data? Online, offline, and other methods
(9) What is the special contract with SP?
(10) Did you have any difficulty handling SP?
(11) If the data stored after the SP transaction is not retrieved, you may be disadvantaged by the next level of DC allocation. Do you understand?
(12) AC Bot tracks DC usage and determines compliance. A lack of scores may disadvantage the next level of DC allocation. Do you understand?
(12)What DataCap do you want to add? Is it an increase in existing data or is it a new type of data?
(13)If you use DC in a fraudulent way (data storage, misuse, fraud, collusion, etc. that is different from what you applied for), are you responsible for the dispute, and are you in favor of eliminating DC?

13. Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
No, FIL+ is enough.

14. Can any client apply to your pathway, or will you be closed to only your own internal clients? (eg: bizdev or self-referral)
Yes, all of our customers can apply.

15. How do you plan to track the rate at which DataCap is being distributed to your clients?

Data Diligence

16. As an operating entity in the Filecoin Community, you are required to follow all local & regional regulations relating to any data, digital and otherwise. This may include PII and data deletion requirements, as well as the storing, transmitting, or accessing of data.
Acknowledgement: Acknowledge

17. What type(s) of data would be applicable for your pathway?
Public Open Dataset (Research/Non-Profit),Public Open Commercial/Enterprise,Private Commercial/Enterprise,Private Non-Profit/Social Impact

18. How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients?
1, DC applicants are asked first for proof of ownership data.
2. Check the source and sample data of the data to determine whether it is owned or not.
3. If necessary, use 3rd-party KYB (Know Your Business) services. Korean clients can use verification services if the applicant is in a foreign country.
e.g.) 3rd-party KYB services
https://ondato.com/business-onboarding/

19. How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
1 First, ask DC applicants whether they have reviewed whether they meet local and local legal requirements. 2. Check sample data to see if it violates the authority of individuals or other institutions, depending on whether they answered or not. 3 It also checks whether there is illegal, illegal, or harmful data according to social wisdom. Even if it is not illegal data, it also judges whether meaningless data (e.g., CCTV footage) is used.

20. What types of data preparation will you support or require?
We will support data consolidation or data sharding.

21. What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
Extract a large number of random sample data

Yes. Check the client's SP deployment plan before allocating DC (SP check tool : filfox.info , fileplus dashboard)

26. What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
https://datacapstats.io/, CID checker bot, AC bot

27. How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
It doesn't matter whether it's online (such as using the data center) or offline.

28. As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
Leverage VPN detection sites (https://www.criminalip.io/, https://www.ip2proxy.com/)

Risk Mitigation, Auditing, Compliance

37. Describe your proposed compliance check mechanisms for your own clients.
• After the due diligence is completed, DC allocation is signed, and the DC status is checked using the applicant's address to see if normal DC allocation has been made.
• After confirming that the applicant has received DC, it is checked whether the initial data is distributed (whether to use DC) the next day. If DC is not used, check every 2-3 days.
• One week after the first DC use data distribution, the SP distribution status is checked using the filplus dashboard (https://datacapstats.io/clients) . At this time, if it is abnormal, the client is notified and the reason is confirmed.
• If a reasonable reason is given for an abnormal distribution (e.g., online distribution time is required for each region), it should be reconfirmed after a week or two.
• When distribution is made, the Github application basically checks the filplus-check-app (Checker Bot) and the AC Bot to leave a record.
• If problems such as misuse or fraud of DC use occur, it is handled by dispute settlement procedures.

38. Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.

39. Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
Tactical tools, route instructions, and processes remain unchanged. However, it will be used when FIL+ governance guidelines are changed or tactical tools are updated. If there is any change, we will post it on Slack's file-plus channel and notify it in advance so that there is no inconvenience in applying for and allocating DC.

40. How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
We will provide a two-week feedback period for implementing the changes, and we will provide a two-week feedback period by modifying or improving it.

41. Regarding security, how will you structure and secure the on-chain notary address? If you will utilize a multisig, how will it be structured? Who will have administrative & signatory rights?
The on-chain notary address is stored in Ledger Nano-x. Signing rights are with the allocator applicant himself.

42. Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?
We haven't reviewed the deployment of the smart contract yet.

[ghost]

Monetization

43. Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway.
We haven't reviewed smart contracts, so we don't have a revenue-generating model yet.

44. Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.
We are not reviewing corporations, other businesses, and market ventures.

45. Where will accounting for fees be maintained?
There is also no accounting audit because there is no revenue model.

Past Experience, Affiliations, Reputation

46. If you've received DataCap allocation privileges before, please link to prior notary applications.
#648

47. How are you connected to the Filecoin ecosystem? Describe your (or your organization's) Filecoin relationships, investments, or ownership.
Blockchain World News : news media(Researcher), FCC Lab : Filecoin Storage Provider(Director)

48. How are you estimating your client demand and pathway usage? Do you have existing clients and an onboarding funnel?
It is already well known to filecoin officials in China and Asia, including Korea, so it is easily accessible to new customers. If you have previous LDN assignment experience, it will not be difficult to use this DC assignment path.

Hi @psh0691

On the next Fil+ Allocator meeting we will be going over each refill application. Wanted to ensure you were tracking the review discussion taking place in filecoin-project/Allocator-Governance#17.

If your schedule allows, recommend coming to the May 28th meeting to answer/discuss the issues raised in the recent distributions. This will allow you to faster address - or, the issue in Allocator Governance for ongoing written discussion.

Warmly,
-Kevin
