O5.4 Run public campaign to migrate to Arti: In this Activity, we will create an evaluation framework for monitoring the transition; set up and run a campaign for encouraging relay operators to transition from C to Arti; help relay operators transition; and use the evaluation framework to monitor the success of the campaign over time and adjust approach as necessary. To do so, we will:
• Create an evaluation framework for public campaign
◦ Investigate the state of the network at the start of O5.4 to better understand how to effectively compare C and Arti implementations. For example, we will research questions like:
▪ How many C-Tor relay groups do we have with more than one relay per IP address?
▪ How many relay operators do we have and how many of them have contact information?
▪ How many C-Tor relays can a single Arti replace per IP address?
◦ Based on the investigation above, define metrics to use in the evaluation framework, set baselines measurements of these metrics, and set targets of these metrics to use in the campaign evaluation framework. (If any of these metrics are also Indicators in the M&E plan, we will also update the M&E plan at this time.) Metrics for the evaluation framework, for example, may include:
▪ Number of relay families/operators transitioned from C to Arti over X days
▪ Number of bridge operators transitioned from C to Arti over X days
▪ Number of help requests received and addressed over X days
▪ Number of bug reports received and addressed over X days
▪ Amount of bandwidth provided by Arti relays
◦ Create a process to modify the campaign plan based on different outcomes of the midterm evaluation.
• Run public campaign
◦ Create and utilize a feedback loop such that feedback from relay operators is delivered to developers to triage and address
◦ Update relay operator documentation on the Tor community portal
◦ Utilize social media, the tor-relays@ mailing list, the Tor Forum, regular relay operator meetups, and other relevant channels to:
▪ Encourage relay operators to upgrade
▪ Solicit feedback from relay operators about the upgrade experience
▪ Respond to help requests across support channels
▪ Provide public updates about the progress of the transition
◦ Hold a workshop for relay operators about how to migrate their relays to Arti
• Monitor success of public campaign
◦ At campaign midterm, utilize evaluation criteria to measure success of the campaign so far
◦ If midterm evaluation reveals that we are not reaching targets, utilize the process previously created to modify the campaign plan
◦ At the end of the campaign, evaluate transition against target numbers specified in the M&E plan

**Objective 6: Promote and encourage information sharing and collaboration between Internet Freedom Program Implementers**
To achieve this objective we will work with DRL to host a DRL implementers meeting in March of 2024.
O6.1 Convene a meeting of DRL Internet Freedom program implementers to encourage and promote information sharing and peer-to-peer learning. In this activity we will research and determine a location for the March 2024 Implementers Meeting and submit the location to DRL for approval. We will obtain quotes for various venues, staffing, catering and other associated costs and submit a detailed budget for GO approva and then Host the DRL Implementers meeting.
