b) require a verified physical address for large operators (>=0.5% exit or guard probability) (manual verification, low number of operators). It is not required that the address is public or stored after it got verified. For details see bellow [2].

0.5% exit probability is currently about 500-600 Mbit/s of advertised bandwidth. That seems reasonable. I currently co-run an exit relay that has just under 0.1% probability and would be okay with sharing my physical address with the directory authorities, especially if my probability would be higher. This is a great point. Independent of the measures that will be chosen, they should impact the traffic a relay gets. Most relay operators want their relays to be useful and are willing to do put a lot of work into increasing their traffic. And they should be "rewarded" with flags so that it is obvious to relay operators that they have an interest in actually fulfilling the new requirements.   [...]
