It is *not* a requirement that a TLD operator also run a T2 server, however I think in this case the point is that the operator can show they have some experience with running a DNS service, and more importantly, can show that they have experience with OpenNic operations and they are not completely lost when it comes to how to set up a simple connection to our other servers.

Its great that people join the project with big ideas and lots of enthusiasm, but if you are going to commit to running a TLD, we want to know that you are going to be around for the long-haul.  Honestly I don't see any problem with asking that a person be with the group and running a basic T2 server for at least 6 months before considering letting them run a T1 server.

This presumes that a TLD operator must also run a T2. I didn't think
this was a requirement. Indeed, it is perfectly possible and I think
acceptable for an operator to make a decision that they can run a
stable TLD/T1 but not a T2.
