There's the set of TOR users, and there's the subset of TOR users that
need to have the property of "anonymity for safety", and then there's
the set of people who need/want access to the IETF.
Could you provide an educated guess on the size of the intersection of
those last two sets? 1? 10s? 100s? 1000s? More? I'm trying to
understand the amount of hyperbole being slung about.
I'm just going to put back the second half of the sentence that you cut
off in your quote above: "you're not going to find a lot in the way of
data or anecdote here."
Finally, are there any other methods besides Tor you can think of
that would give "anonymity for safety" while still providing access to
the IETF data? (Hint: asking a friend to photocopy paper or send you a
usb stick.... or...)
I propose you limit yourself to those methods of participation for a
suitably long time period -- say, a year or so -- and then report back
with your experiences of whether you think it posed an unreasonable barrier.
