Polkadot Dashboard: 1KV Validator Inclusion Proposal
The Thousand Validators Programme ( 1KV program )is an initiative by Web3 Foundation and Parity Technologies to use the funds held by both organizations to nominate validators in the community.
It serves two major purposes:
Give validators a structured on-ramp to join the active set of validators on Kusama and Polkadot
Further decentralize the validator active set.

Couple month ago we started discussions on Polkadot Forum regarding the 1KV Validators inclusion .
The results of this discussions - this Issue and Proposal

1.To add new category to section Nominate:
Category “1KV Validators”
Description “Participants of Web3Foundation 1KV Program. Choose to support decentralization.”
2.In “Optimal selection” to include 4 validators from 1KV Program, every Optimal selection needs to include participants of 1KV program. There are 264 participants of the 1KV program and about 1000 total validators. I think it's fair and long term effective to give 4 of 16 seats in every recommended validators list to 1KV participants.
3.”Total Validators” using by default to select validators , not “active” only. Please not divide Validators into 2 classes - Active and Waiting , give all of them a chance to get nominated by new Stakers, and give the ability to search both lists when nominated!
4.Add “1KV Program” to Filter Validators
5.Add “1KV Program” to Order Validators
