Purpose/Overview

At the time of writing the initial phase (phase 1) of delegations has been completed and phase 2 is in progress. The purpose of this document is to produce a proposed timeline for the cadence of delegations going forwards.

The Validation Delegation council favours a plan which ultimately ends up with a cadence of delegation once every 3 months with the understanding that the first few phases run longer than 3 months to allow processes to be defined and refined in order to improve efficiency.
