Thanks for the input here. In that case I can roughly see the below as something that works for the interim (but with a commitment that we move to Easy Track this ASAP) given that there will probably be a need to add or move relays somewhat nimbly in the next few months.
- Set up something like a 4/7 or 5/7 multisig with a varied amount of parties:
- 1-2 lido contributors (e.g. someone from NOM team and/or tooling team, since they have intimate familiarity with relay operators and performance)
- 2-3 node operators
- 2-3 independent parties
Multisig can be authorized by the DAO (via snapshot vote) to make changes to the relay lists and proposes changes to the lists publicly (on the forums) before effecting them, allowing for DAO/community discussion to happen.
This will allow the protocol to be a bit more nimble in the short term with regards to adding and moving relays between the list which is probably a good thing given that a lot more relays are coming out (which is great).
I guess next step would be to come up with list of possible participants. Are there any NOs / community members interested?
