According to an open letter released by Layer 33, an independent validator organization for Solana, the organization is urging the Solana Foundation to suspend the weekly phased removal of members from the delegation program until community consultation is completed. Layer 33 stated that the new rules announced by the Foundation on November 6th set a 12-month participation period, require validators to accumulate 300,000 SOL externally staked before leaving the program, and limit the number of participants to 100. The organization believes these regulations could crowd out experienced independent operators and exacerbate staking concentration. The open letter also recommends granting existing members participating in the Alpenglow community test at least 6 months of mainnet delegation support and publicly disclosing the analysis and basis for the member limit and duration. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/layer33-urges-solana-foundation-pause-removal-of-delegation-program-members-71632
