That's cool and I appreciate the effort, but it's a little more
complicated than just slapping your email address on a web page.

I assume that this means you will be an active node in H18? If so then
I'll need a URL and we'll need to work out the authorization issues with
regard to auth servers. That pretty much requires some sort of webpage on
your end.

And I've got to ask, if you don't have time to slap a simple web page
together, where are you going to get the time to actually do the work
required to manage a bunch of drawterm accounts? That definitely won't be
configure and forget.

If you're serious about this then you'll need to provide the following
for H18:

- a URL that details the conditions of a drawterm accounts (ie AUP). There
  also needs to be some maximum time limit on your responses (not just
  when you get around to it).

- what's the size of your pipe and how many connections can you handle at
  one time?

- a valid email address that will be read at least once a day, every day.

- we'll need personal contact info so that H18 or Open Forge can contact
  you directly.

- you'll need to join the node policy mailing list for H18.

- we've got to work out tha authdom issues that we're currently working
  on. Those who helps will be listed as a contributor.

Just a suggestion, but you may want to discuss the particulars directly
with me rather than over the list. But, either is acceptable to me.

Thanks again for piping up on this. I appreciate the effort.
