C, there is also a tor-relays-universities list.
Forwarding there to keep the initial chat primed.
Once you have buy in from legal, chairs, security, upstream,
etc this can be a very strong position, often better than pay 'contract'
of random ISP host. I have seen such 'outside' nets used for these
not strictly mission things, such I suggest it in this thread. Different
approach depends on if you can find and house a legitimate paper
producing research purpose, or if you simply will run it for
supporting freedom point of view.
Worth mention is that both internet2 and nanog have mailing lists
where queries and propositions could be sent. Cold contacts at
regionals are not hard to find.

I'm at a member institution for Internet2, and the buy-in process put
us in a research VLAN "outside" the university network. I'd be very
interested in hearing from people at other member institutions about
coordinating management of risk such that our service is more
supportable and robust.

Has anyone tried approaching these networks themselves
to see about running relays there? Their bandwidth for sponsored
things is often free. In the US you might try internet2.edu and all
its various connecting regional networks.
On a second further approach, once all the risks and pro-reasons
have been discussed and accepted, the consortia backing of many
Uni's within would be bulletproof.
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about JANET's (the UK academic ISP)
views on running a Tor relay?
It's probably not worth putting together a proposal for running one in a UK
University if the ISP is going to have problems with it.
Thanks,
Iain.
