I think this is a great idea.  Really all we'd need is a peering
agreement.  Unfortunately, the sands of time seem to have erased any
existing OpenNIC peering agreements from years ago, so we'd have to
start from scratch.  

I suspect an appropriate peering agreement would simply consist of a
description of the gTLD, who maintains/hosts it, and some assurances
that its existence is compatible with OpenNIC ideals.

It would be great if one of you could draft something up, post it
here, and let us all hash it out.  At some point, it will come up for
a vote if there is enough buy-in.
