-Title: Simplifying directory authority administration
-Version: $Revision$

-Overview
-
-The problem:
-
-  Administering a directory authority is a pain: you need to go through
-  emails and manually add new nodes as "named".  When bad things come up,
-  you need to mark nodes (or whole regions) as invalid, badexit, etc.
-
-  This means that mostly, authority admins don't: only 2/4 current authority
-  admins actually bind names or list bad exits, and those two have often
-  complained about how annoying it is to do so.
-
-  Worse, name binding is a common path, but it's a pain in the neck: nobody
-  has done it for a couple of months.
-
-Digression: who knows what?
-
-  It's trivial for Tor to automatically keep track of all of the
-  following information about a server:
-    name, fingerprint, IP, last-seen time, first-seen time, declared
-    contact.
-
-  All we need to have the administrator set is:
-    - Is this name/fingerprint pair bound?
-    - Is this fingerprint/IP a bad exit?
-    - Is this fingerprint/IP an invalid node?
-    - Is this fingerprint/IP to be rejected?
-
-  The workflow for authority admins has two parts:
-    - Periodically, go through tor-ops and add new names.  This doesn't
-      need to be done urgently.
-    - Less often, mark badly behaved serves as badly behaved.  This is more
-      urgent.
-
-Possible solution #1: Web-interface for name binding.
-
-  Deprecate use of the tor-ops mailing list; instead, have operators go to a
-  webform and enter their server info.  This would put the information in a
-  standardized format, thus allowing quick, nearly-automated approval and
-  reply.
-
-Possible solution #2: Self-binding names.
-
-  Peter Palfrader has proposed that names be assigned automatically to nodes
-  that have been up and running and valid for a while.
-
-Possible solution #3: Self-maintaining approved-routers file
-
-  Mixminion alpha has a neat feature where whenever a new server is seen,
-  a stub line gets added to a configuration file.  For Tor, it could look
-  something like this:
-
-    ## First seen with this key on 2007-04-21 13:13:14
-    ## Stayed up for at least 12 hours on IP 192.168.10.10
-    #RouterName AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEFEF
-
-  (Note that the implementation needs to parse commented lines to make sure
-  that it doesn't add duplicates, but that's not so hard.)
-
-  To add a router as named, administrators would only need to uncomment the
-  entry.  This automatically maintained file could be kept separately from a
-  manually maintained one.
-
-  This could be combined with solution #2, such that Tor would do the hard
-  work of uncommenting entries for routers that should get Named, but
-  operators could override its decisions.
-
-Possible solution #4: A separate mailing list for authority operators.
-
-  Right now, the tor-ops list is very high volume.  There should be another
-  list that's only for dealing with problems that need prompt action, like
-  marking a router as !badexit.
-
-Resolution:
-
-  Solution #2 is described in "Proposal 123: Naming authorities
-  automatically create bindings", and that approach is implemented.
-  There are remaining issues in the problem statement above that need
-  their own solutions.
