Much of this is stuff that could be funded by a contract from
https://www.ngi.eu/opencalls/ngi_trust-open-call/

I have a contact that is part of this consortium that can help us to get
a competitive proposal in. The deadline in 31st April.

I suggest we make a proposal for type 1 projects, and then for type 2 in
the 3rd open call, to get a total €280,000.

We do not need to be in the EU for this, we only need to show that the
project can be of benefit to the EU (i.e. that people in the EU use Tor,
or that things we produce are applicable to the wider Internet also).

This is not going to be a contract with the EC, but rather with this
consortium, so the overheads are not as much as a full EU project and I
believe we could cope with them.

Thanks,
Iain.
