i can offer one of my servers to host a Tier1 tld, but if the zone is 
not used or only by 2-3 domains, then i think we need to drop it and use 
on another .tld

About t1 admins, what about providing email+skype+phone in case of an 
emergency, not to me, to other t1 admins, so if something fails they can 
contact him not only via "list" or "irc".

Just a suggestion.
