Seems way overkill & unnecessary. Wouldn't the e.V. (foundation) especially with FOSS backend/frontend already ensure continued operation? Also if it's about re

  >FOSS backend/frontend That phrase does not address where and how to host data and run software, and while I think an e.V. would be a great idea, it also does doesn't address it. So these concerns seem orthogonal to my input. The IC Protocol is indeed about redundancy and resilience, but also about sovereignty and security, and it does not just host data (like torrents) but also runs software in a verifiable way (in particular, for every message you get from a dapp on the ICP, you get a certificate that proves that the majority of nodes in the subnet agree on the result). In a nutshell, it's a platform that gives you many guarantees (security, redundancy, sovereignty) out of the box - as opposed to classical solutions which have to be composed of many different building blocks that need to be orchestrated to work together.

There is no need for this though, by it's very nature CVE services are "authorities", that distribute fairly simple data. Also if it costs 500$ to keep it online it's not really giving you much more resilience than regular multi-node hosting and significantly less than torrenting which is effectively free for many volunteers.
