Hallo zusammen! >This is for germans only. The non-germans may excuse this.
I don't think this only concerns Germans. Operators of onion routers being sued is a global problem which requires a global alliance, which is why IMHO a supranational umbrella organization coordinating the activity of regional associations would be appropriate as well. >Du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Ich denke auch seit einiger Zeit darüber nach, >aber es wird Zeit, daß wir den Arsch hochkriegen. Ich habe sogar schon einen >Namen ausgedacht: wie wärs mit "German Tor Operators", z.B. GTO e.V. I agree, it's high time to act. But please consider to include admins of other OR services like those running Mixmin / Mixmaster servers. Think alone of what happened to Reece, the former Thrasher admin in Australia. The effects of the current changes in law aren't confined to Tor operators, we're all in the same boat sharing the same principles, and the more we are the easier it is to raise enough money for building an effective organization. That's why I'd also prefer a name covering all facets of OR like 'Deutsche Anonymisierserver Initiative - DASI gegen Stasi', with equivalent shorthand expressions ('British [...] Anonymisation Server Initiative' = 'BASI') easy to adapt to areas of other languages.
