Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Re: Tonga--Aha, I see.  Thanks.

 I have read that or something substantially similar before; I just
 couldn't find it.

 My question is a bit more specific, though: what is the ''ultimate''
 process to add or remove a dirauth?  Do all current dirauths vote in an
 IRC channel, and then someone commits the change?  Is there an informal
 discussion and then (e.g.) Roger just commits (or not) whatever he wants?
 Or is it that a formal process is what you were referring to in, "The
 present authority operators will probably discuss this among themselves
 soon."?

 Also, why is this all being discussed in private?  I think the Tor
 community has a strong interest in, at the very least, visibility into the
 dirauth vetting/expulsion process, as well as the internal discussion
 about setting up that process.

 Or am I wrong?  Is this discussion actually being held somewhere public
 where I can join?

 Thanks,
 cypherpunks
