Message from Adrian (Pegasys, cant make it):

*It looks like I won’t make it to the Görli call tomorrow night but Chris McKay (Errorific) should be there. I’m sure he’ll cover this, but I’d suggest the main thing we need to do is vote out any validators that aren’t working so that the majority of the time, every validator is online. There have been a few people offering to run validators if we need more after that. I suspect we should have some basic criteria for validators - the node is shown as online and in-sync for some period before we vote it in and we have suitable contact details in place.

At some point when we have a stable set of validators again, PegaSys will likely rebuild our validator to get it onto our monitoring platform properly. Should be an extremely short change over when it does happen and we’ll give a few days notice so we don’t have multiple validators doing maintenance at once.*
