Concreteness of Allocation Plan

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can. This includes the target amount per client and rate at which you'll allocate DataCap.

Clients who apply for DataCap will be required to submit a detailed proposal

 - Client's social media account
 - The information of company or organization
 - Previous application and address

 - Do you have a storage provider or related storage providers?
 - How to choose the storage providers for you datacap?
 - What is your plan to send your dat to the storage providers, online or offline?
 - How to assign the Datacap to different Storage Providers?
 
Finally, I will allocate the datacap to 10 client at least. Every client can not get more than 100TiB datacap.

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

we will use a ledger wallet to store our private key

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet the clients that are applying for DataCap? What questions will you ask to ensure your trust is placed well and that clients can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them?

The basic rules is that the higher the DataCap application, more infomation will be required for client. First, we will ask relevant information about customers and organization.

(1) Personal Infomation: 
 - Location
 - Social media account

(2) Company or organization infomation:
 - The Country of registration
 - Company's social media, news, etc.
 - Size of the organization

(4) how to distribute DataCap:
 - Do you have some storage Providers?
 - How to select the Storage Providers?
 - How to assign the Datacap to different Storage Providers? 
 - Please submit yourdeal metadata

What processes will you employ when granting additional DataCap to a client that has previously been verified? This includes confirming that the client is not improperly using the DataCap they were previously granted, i.e., making deals with a single SP entity.

Before I grant the new datacap to client, I will check that client how to distribute their datacap in the last round datacap. The check list will be as fillows:
 - The numbers of storage providers
 - Number of deals
 - Most datacap used on a single miner
 - Numbers of dataCID

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on conducting all your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both?

Yes, all allocation decisions will be conducted in the github, and the records will be published on the Github. and I am gong to have a DD with some clients by slack, email and Telegram. 

Where do you plan on keeping a publicly accessible record of all your allocation decisions?

we will list all the allocation decisions to fogmeta github repo.
