 ## Plans
 
-#### Priorities 2022
-
-- Get Arti to a production level.
-- Build the network engine for the VPN solution.
-- Make the Tor network faster for users.
-- Interaction between censorship resistance and Tor should become better.
-- Support mobile applications
-- Improve network simulation, aka Shadow.

+#### Priorities 2023
+
+- Get Arti to a place where we can start deprecating C-tor.
+  - Catch arti up on recent/new C tor work:
+    - conflux
+    - flow control, congestion control
+    - UDP
+    - prop340 (fragmented/packed cells)
+    - circuit padding machines
+    - ntor3 negotiation
+- Build the network engine for the VPN solution.
+- Make the Tor network faster for users.
+- Support mobile applications
+- Improve network simulation, aka Shadow.
+- Implement defenses and mitigations agains DoS attacks
+- Improve Onion Services support

+#### By Sponsored project
+
+####### Sponsor 61 - ending in March 31st
+
+- Allocations: mike, ahf, dgoulet
+- Commitments: finish the project and track indicators.
+    - conflux
+
+####### [Sponsor 101](https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/milestones/32#tab-issues) - ends in September 30th 
+
+- Allocations: ahf, eta, mike, dgoulet, nick
+    - UDP support will require mike and dgoulet
+    - Some prop340 design will require nick
+- Commitments:
+    - UDP support
+    - Will require prop340/fragmented cells
+    - UDP client in arti -- probably needed, yeah?
+    - Objective 3 : Implement needed tor sides for the vpn
+      - O3.1: Address challenges in the Tor client’s consumption of resources.
+      - O3.2: Enhance Tor to act as a VPN service, rather than an opt-in proxy as it does today.
+      - O3.3: Make the Tor client library smaller to minimize impact on bandwidth for downloads and upgrades.
+      - O3.4: Ensure Tor VPN client works well on popular Android apps, and develop optimizations, bug fixes, and improvements where needed.
+
+####### [Sponsor 112](https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/milestones/44) - starting in April 1st 
+
+- Allocations: mike, dgoulet, ahf
+    - Nickm for some design on crypto, dos?
+    - Arti implementation for circuit padding machines, needs arti people
+- Commitments:
+    - Objective 3: Make the Tor network more able to resist relay attacks. The goal with this Objective is simple: make it harder for people who want to run malicious relays to succeed in their goals of conducting a variety of attacks. Our approach involves implementing specific fixes to the Tor protocol to resist relay, traffic analysis, cryptographic tagging, and traffic manipulation attacks.
+      - Improved relay cryptography (Counter Galois Onion?)
+      - O3.1: Audit the Tor protocol for dropped cell and other relay side channel attacks, and fix them in Rust for Arti. (arti#724)
+      - O3.2: Implement tagging resistant ciphers to reduce the ability of relays to perform route manipulation attacks. (CGO above, prop#308)
+      - O3.3: Implement DoS defenses to reduce overall DoS overload risk to directory authorities and the network.
+      - O3.4: Implement mechanisms to support TrafficSliver and Interspace traffic analysis defenses in Arti, the Rust re-write of Tor code.
+      - O3.5: Implement formal mechanisms for detecting relays lying about their bandwidth capacity. 
+
