I could run one here in Iceland if it would help.

Might i suggest that the next bridge authority be hosted on tor inc ip

It looks like this was a single point of failure. It would be easy
enough to have a volunteer bgp announce a specific ip address. If they
decided to drop out then it would not cause this type of consternation
in the future. Having more than one bridge auth has obvious benefits.
While hijacking the bridge authority does not directly and immediately
harm the Tor network, and an evil BGP entry could most probably not be
upheld for more than 24h worst-case, I still support the idea of
introducing more authority nodes than just a single one.

But then again, I don't have much knowledge about the related source
code either.
