**Abstract**

A data publisher recently decided to stop contributing data to the Pyth oracle and therefore needs to be offboarded from the Pythnet validator set.

**Rationale**

Keeping inactive data publishers as Pythnet validator may cause some issues to the reliability of Pythnet, therefore this now inactive publisher validator should be removed from the Pythnet permissioned set.

**Implementation Plan**
