Good morning list,

I just called up Alistar and explained the entire situation. They IT
guys know what Tor is and their company is strongly interested in
continuing supporting Tor. They are a partner company now of Voxility,
and the apparently while moving some clients, someone did forget to tell
them that they'll get a client running Tor exit nodes.

They are simply overchallenged with this request as it is the very first
one they have ever received.

The good news is, that they will _not_ shutdown our server, nor take any
logs, which are non-existant. The counterpart we need to contribute is a
letter by our lawyer and favorably a letter from EFF or some other
bigger organization guaranteeing Tor is what it is and we as client do
not try to fool them.

This is a request from the administration level of the company, not the
tech guys - as always.

So, I'll get in touch with our lawyer & with EFF. Is there anyone else
within EU, whom could certify them what Tor is and what it is capable of
and what not? Moritz?

Cheers,
J.

As a resident of Cook Country I can safely say it's not a small
locality, but I'm sure their knowledge about international law is
quite low.

I know the Chicago Police claim they don't know what Tor is.

as the US government sponsored (parts of) the Tor development - what about giving them US military research papers about the Tor network?

http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a465464.pdf is one of them, co-authored by a Navy researcher and performed by the Naval Research Laboratory.

Not itself sufficient, but done by a bigger organisation w/o triggering anarchist/commie/hacker/terroristsupporting/publicenemy bias reactions.

Depends on what convinces them. :-) Sounds like it may make sense to get
a generic letter signed by all our partner organizations (which includes
Reporters without Borders, Institute of War & Peace Reporting,
Article19, and potentially other Human Rights Orgs) in the long run.

I'm happy to write something as Torservers.net, in a way representing
all the current partner orgs. Then, we can send the letter around and
get it co-signed by all the partner orgs and other orgs.
