 Welcome to the thirteenth issue of Tor Weekly News, the weekly newsletter that
 covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
+
+Reimbursement of exit operators
+-------------------------------
+
+In July 2012, Roger Dingledine wrote a post on the Tor blog [XXX] in which he
+raised the prospect of offering funding to organizations running fast Tor exit
+nodes. In so doing, Roger wrote, 'we will improve the network's diversity as
+well as being able to handle more users.' He also announced that donors were
+already interested in financing such a scheme. Then, in April this year, Moritz
+Bartl stated [XXX] that torservers.net was looking to move away from establishing
+additional exit nodes, in favor of providing support of various kinds to partner
+organizations running their own exits.
+
+These plans, and the discussion they provoked, are now about to bear fruit
+in the form of a financial reimbursement scheme directed at torservers.net's
+partner organizations. Moritz wrote again on the the tor-relays list [XXX]
+to announce that reimbursements are scheduled to begin at the end of this
+month, drawn from a one-time donation by the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
+
+The ensuing debate focused both on the technical aspects of reimbursement
+— that is, how best to determine the division of funds based on information
+harvested from the network metrics [XXX] — and the question of the security
+issues that could potentially arise from such a scheme [XXX].
