I only have a couple of words of caution around this proposal and perhaps is more something to be wary of during delivery and any future discussion around adoption or ‘assessment’ vs. the framework of NOs:
- There should be an agreed level of granularity beyond which this work should not pursue. This will allow there to continue to be diversity, at least at the detailed level, of implementation of Node Operators. The worst effect of this work would be if all operators start running in the same way.
- (related to 1) I’d argue against any future proposal of assessing NOs vs. the framework and documentation developed because, again, the risk of homogeneity.
