Good morning list,

I just called up Alistar and explained the entire situation. They IT
guys know what Tor is and their company is strongly interested in
continuing supporting Tor. They are a partner company now of Voxility,
and the apparently while moving some clients, someone did forget to tell
them that they'll get a client running Tor exit nodes.

They are simply overchallenged with this request as it is the very first
one they have ever received.

The good news is, that they will _not_ shutdown our server, nor take any
logs, which are non-existant. The counterpart we need to contribute is a
letter by our lawyer and favorably a letter from EFF or some other
bigger organization guaranteeing Tor is what it is and we as client do
not try to fool them.

This is a request from the administration level of the company, not the
tech guys - as always.

So, I'll get in touch with our lawyer & with EFF. Is there anyone else
within EU, whom could certify them what Tor is and what it is capable of
and what not? Moritz?

Cheers,
J.
