Comment (by atagar):

 Bah, thought we had an entry for this on the
 [https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en FAQ] but evidently not. :(

 Roger, would you or another authority operator mind writing one?

 Directory authorities are operated by folks highly known and respected
 within this community, with a bias toward spreading out across geographic
 and geopolitical boundaries (particularly with regard to its hosting
 location). The present authority operators will probably discuss this
 among themselves soon.

 > Maybe I'm just too tired, but I count 10 entries in default_authorities.
 What am I missing?

 Very understandable point of confusion - this puzzles lots of folks. Tonga
 does not vote in the consensus (it lacks a v3ident, only being used for
 bootstrapping and as the bridge authority).
