+Title: Making Tor2Web mode faster
+Author: Virgil Griffith, Fabio Pietrosanti, Giovanni Pellerano
+Created: 2014-03-27
+Status: Open
+
+
+1. Introduction
+While chatting with the Tor archons at the winter meeting, two speed
+optimizations for tor2web mode [1] were put forward.  This proposal specifies
+concretizes these two optimizations.  As with the current tor2web mode, this
+quickened tor2web mode negates any client anonymity.
+
+
+2. Tor2web optimizations
+  2.1) self-rendezvous
+  In the current tor2web mode, the client establishes a 1-hop circuit (direct
+  connection) to a chosen rendezvous point.  We propose that, alternatively,
+  the client set *itself* as the rendezvous point. This coincides with ticket
+  #9685[2].
+
+
+  2.2) direct-introduction
+  Identical to the non-tor2web mode, in the current tor2web mode, the
+  client establishes a 3-hop circuit to the introduction point.
+  We propose that, alternatively, the client builds a 1-hop circuit to
+  the introduction point.
