I believe some proposals about relay operators were not handled as people had different opinions about the Tor Community governance and its process. But, as I said in my previous email, after 2 years of Network Health team work, we have seen how much important is to build a trusted and healthy Tor Community. > > We're not in the process of approving any of them. > > a few questions: > > - Can you describe the process these proposals will undergo after they got collected? > - Who "approves" / rejects them? > - Will it be a public and transparent process? > - Who will be involved in the process? > - How are relay operators included and to what extend? > > - Will "approved" proposals be enforced? > - How will they get enforced?

Great questions. - Yes, it will be a public and transparent process; - Yes, it's a community-driven process; As part of Tor's culture, we try to discuss proposals exhaustively until we reach a consensus. But, that said, there is a lack of formal process. Our goal is to build this governance process. As part of the Tor Community, relay operators must be included, and that's why we're bootstrapping this process with this open call and inviting everyone to discuss this topic at the tor relay operators meetups.

From the Expectations for relay operators: "Be sure to set your ContactInfo to a working email address in case we need to reach you." https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/team/-/wikis/Expectations-for-Relay-Operators cheers, Gus [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/relays/-/issues/18 > > kind regards, > nusenu > > > [1] > https://blog.torproject.org/tor-design-proposals-how-we-make-changes-our-protocol/ > https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/001-process.txt > > > > -- > https://nusenu.github.io > _______________________________________________ > tor-relays mailing list > tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead
