Dear community,
 
I am engaging you for feedback on a proposal to `Establish a framework for System Collators`. In addition to presenting the framework, the proposal seeks `1,709.34 KSM` to fund a bounty to incentivise collators on the Statemine chain for the period of 6 months. 
 
The document was already presented to current System Collators as well as Joe (W3F) and Zoltan (Encointer) to their satisfaction.
 

**Summary:**

>A System Parachain (S.C.) is defined as any Parachain which attained its lease via governance. This proposal aims to establish a framework for Collators on System Parachains to minimise censorship, maintain liveliness and incentivise efficient performance. 
> 
> It attempts to achieve this by suggesting parameters for the selection, incentivisation and the ideal number of Collators on System Parachains. It is also anticipated that this framework would form a standard that would aid future System Parachains as they are deployed. 
> 
> As a medium term solution, 1,709.34 KSM is requested to fund a bounty to incentivise Collators on the Statemine network for six (6) months. This would be used as a pilot test and re-evaluated before further funding is provided.

 

**Full proposal**

The full proposal can be accessed [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H2T1Nx90HkSAYF_CaOPLG-o3LS7h_QAa2WLDdcSJMs0/edit?usp=sharing). 

 

**Discussion Time frame**

The floor is opened for feedback for the next 1 -2 weeks after which we would submit an on-chain request to fund the bounty and a later request to assign curators.

 
 
**Note:** KSM requested in sections 6.4 and 6.5 are time sensitive and would require recalculation before actual on chain submission.
