5.4. Guidelines for Submission of Permissioning Requests
An application for the permissioning as a Validator requires the whitelisting of the applicant’s public key on the list of permissioned Validators.
Before submitting its application, the Validator shall make a KYC report public via appropriate channels, as well as appropriate proof that the requirements set forth in Eligibility Criteria for Permissioned Validators are met:
Certified copies of the commercial register and/or trade register and/or register of companies or alike, proving that the company was duly incorporated in the jurisdiction it is providing its services from.
Proof of who the ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) of the company are.
Certified copies of all required official licenses required to operate the business and to provide the services outlined in the Adopted Guidance and in the contractual agreements where the Validator is a party to.
A legally binding declaration that no insolvency, bankruptcy or similar/comparable proceedings are currently pending or to be anticipated in the foreseeable future in relation to the company.
Proof that the company is minimally affiliated (via its shareholders) with or (practically) controlled by any SPV Operator and/or Minter the Validator is in direct contractual relationship with for the provision of its service. When there is some level of affiliation, relevant evidence of appropriate corporate governance shall be presented.
A legally binding declaration, as long as objectively and legally possible, to set up its business activities in regards to the services and contractual relationships as outlined in the Adopted Guidance.
A legally binding commitment, as long as objectively and legally possible, to amend its contractual relationships reflecting potential mandatory changes of the Adopted Guidance.
Where confidentiality concerns emerge the M^0 Foundation can step under Non-Disclosure Agreements to analyze the required documentation and provide a qualified public opinion to the ecosystem.
