I strongly recommend to work on this independently from the FreedomBox
project.
I don't mean "go away - you are disturbing this list" but rather that no
technology should be unique to FreedomBoxes - so I suggest to either
remove the term "Freedomboxes" from your paper or at least very clearly
state it as _example_ use of the proposed protocol, and then goout aim
more widely with it - e.g. make it a RFC.
Good luck with the project!
