Comment:

 What I'd like to do in August is:
 * generate a draft list of 200 fallbacks,
 * find relays that are not whitelisted, but have high enough bandwidth and
 stability to have been included in the list, and
 * if the operators of these relays have not been contacted already, email
 them an opt-in request

 What I'd like to do in September is:
 * add any new entries to the whitelist/blacklist,
 * generate an alpha list of 200 fallbacks,

 What I'd like to do as our alphas start to stabilise (December 2016?) is:
 * check each fallback on the existing list to see if it's still working
 (same key, IP, and delivers a consensus)
 * comment-out the ones that aren't working
