# Choosing a validator
In order to choose their validators, delegators have access to a range of information directly in the Kii block explorer, where all the validators in the active set will be shown.
* **Validator's moniker:** Name of the validator candidate.
* **Validator's description**: Description provided by the validator operator.
* **Validator's website**: Link to the validator's website.
* **Initial commission rate**: The commission rate on revenue charged to any delegator by the validator (see below for more detail).
* **Commission max change rate**: The maximum daily increase of the validator's commission. This parameter cannot be changed by the validator operator.
* **Maximum commission**: The maximum commission rate this validator candidate can charge. This parameter cannot be changed by the validator operator.
* **Validator self-bond amount**: A validator with a high amount of self-delegated KIIs has more skin-in-the-game than a validator with a low amount.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.kiiglobal.io/docs/validate-the-network/delegator-information/choosing-a-validator.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
