Checking if a new node is valid

1. Check if the new node appears on netstats:
   • Is red, has 0 peers.

• Is the IP public
• Is located in Europe within the map (execute command: whois -h whois.ripe.net node-ip)
• Node IDENTITY and geth/quorum versions are correct

2. (OPTIONAL) Verify constellation-nodes.json is valid JSON (You can check it on https://jsonlint.com).
3. Verify regular-nodes.json is valid JSON (You can check it on https://jsonlint.com).
4. Verify validator-nodes.json is valid JSON (You can check it on https://jsonlint.com).
5. Verify DIRECTORY_REGULAR.md:
   • enode and ip are the same as the enode added in constellation-nodes.json and in regular-nodes.json.
   • Contact name and email are correct.
6. Ask for administrative verification.
7. If necesary resolve conflicts and merge.
8. Update at least one bootnode.
9. Go to netstats and check that the added node(s) have peers and have synchronized.
