Would you like to help me explain Tor, and how we relate to privacy, to researchers and government agencies at the FTC PrivacyCon event in Washington DC on Jan 11?
Lorrie asked me to sign us up, because she wants Tor to be represented there. It would be great if it's not just me. :)

Hi Lorrie, others,
Please sign us up for some space at your Jan 11 event: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2016/11/ftc-host-rd-networkin...
Name of organization: The Tor Project
Name of contact person: Roger Dingledine
Email address of contact person: arma@mit.edu
One paragraph description of the organization's interest in privacy research:
The Tor Project is a free-software non-profit project to build an anonymity toolkit used by individuals, companies, governments, and law enforcement around the world: https://www.torproject.org/
Tor is central to a myriad of research collaborations supported by the National Science Foundation and related funders. On the metrics and measurement side, we're working on how to safely and ethically collect usage statistics about the Tor network. On the network side, we're developing architectural improvements like stronger crypto in next-generation onion services, and ways to detect and resist denial-of-service attacks on Tor without impacting user privacy. On the censorship side, we're deploying a global infrastructure where users launch censorship tests and safely report their results. And on the application side, we're building better browser behavior so users can control what information websites get to learn about them.
The Tor network has grown since its start in 2002 to several million active users pushing over 80 Gbps of traffic. The Tor Project has a staff of 28 developers, researchers, and advocates, plus several dozen volunteers who help out on a daily basis.
Thanks! --Roger

Hi Roger,
Not sure if anyone else responded to this, but you won't be alone. I am able to attend and I already sent a message to the relevant address on their website notifying them of my plan to attend.
aloha, Paul

Sounds great. I've got two other Tor people coming too, so four makes a party!
