 Replying to [comment:13 micah]:
 > It seems, from the discussion above, that for a DirAuth it doesn't seem
 like putting it in Asia provides any additional benefit than anywhere
 else.


 Please put it in Asia - this will allow clients to bootstrap entirely from
 a node outside of the EU and US networks. This is important! It would also
 be nice to see the BW measurement running near the DirAuth. We need some
 actual diversity!

 > If that is true, and a DirAuth is not that bandwidth intensive, I'd be
 more comfortable with running it in Seattle where we have more physical
 control, and would love to talk to ioerrror about additional protection
 equipment!

 I'm a big fan of mercury switches, hidden cameras and some other stuff. :)

 > Can you provide me with details about the configuration, and bandwidth
 requirements that would be needed?

 We have git repo with dirauth configs. First up - your relay should stay
 up for a while and be stable. After it has been running for a while, I'd
 propose you write a patch to config.c (see previous diffs) and then Roger
 or someone else will merge it if/when they feel you meet the criteria.
