Hi, Gunnar Wolf: > 1.

In most universities there is a person/entity that can override many if not all possible "restrictions" in order for a project to continue/start successfully. I suggest you to find these persons that can override these "controls" and convince how difficult (or impossible?) is to continue/start your research project without hosting Tor relays. Persistence usually helps, paying a weekly visit to the people responsible and asking them for the next steps or how you can help to move this forward. > 3.

The date should be based on the the availability or favored date/time of the responsible(s) for the network policies (RedUNAM) and the persons that have the special override powers Cheers, ~Vasilis -- Fingerprint: 8FD5 CF5F 39FC 03EB B382 7470 5FBF 70B1 D126 0162 Pubkey: https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x5FBF70B1D1260162
