Hi Jeff:
 
First of all, sorry but english is not my primary language, so i hope my words & write have not been taken as a negative postition, sarcasm or misunderstandings because I don’t have bad intentions to this project or his members.
 
So, I understand your concern about give a “rookie” or “unknow person” responsabilities of a Tier-1 operation.
I agree with you about having care about giving such responsabilities.
 
Before I take the decision of “rise my hand” for .OZ domain I really took the time to read opennic’s policies at:
http://www.opennicproject.org/opennic-policies/
http://wiki.opennicproject.org/TLDPolicy
http://wiki.opennicproject.org/MailingListPolicy
http://wiki.opennicproject.org/DNSSRVOperation
 
I can’t find where is the “...person needs to have previous (successful) experience running a Tier-2 server before they can become a Tier-1 operator...” policy.
 
In the Member section of Charter policies says:
  An administrator is anyone who runs an OpenNIC-affiliated name server. Administrators are expected to have some expertise in DNS and have an interest in how the global system is structured and maintained. They vote on issues of technical organization and infrastructure with which general members cannot be expected to have expertise. Administrators exist as a subset of the general membership, and therefore may vote as members. A maintainer is anyone who operates the OpenNIC core (root files, organizational infrastructure, auxiliary servers, etc.) as well as TLD administrators. Maintainers are expected to be the most involved and experienced category of members. They vote on issues controlling the operation of Tier 0 and Tier 1 servers. Maintainers exist as a subset of administrators, and therefore may vote as administrators and members.  
I have 3 years of expereince with Authoritative servers, but the point is “excpected” leave in someway the door open and in four days 24-28 no one of the “experienced members rise his hand”.
 
Please try to walk in my shoes for a moment, I put my money and my time to put and test an authoritative server on monday 28/apr accordingly with:
http://wiki.opennicproject.org/RunningT1
http://www.opennicproject.org/t2log/test.php
 
I am open to accept any resolution about this comming of the opennic community, but please, documentation needs to be very clear on this before people assign resourses.
If answer is –no-, is very understable an I live the idea with no hard feelings, but if answer is –yes- i know the commitment behind running a T1 server.
 
I will wait for an opennic authority (?) to give me resolution.

There is actually a standing policy that a person needs to have previous (successful) experience running a Tier-2 server before they can become a Tier-1 operator.  Smooth operation of a tier-1 is essential for OpenNic as a group, and as we have seen with the pirate zone, a lack of knowledge can be very disruptive to the project.

Mario, I don't see your name or email listed on any of the tier-2 servers currently running.  Am I missing something?  Also as has already been mentioned in this discussion, a presence on IRC is highly desired.

Looks like you're in the clear. Once you have the Tier1 server up, running and verified by the Tier1/2 online test, contact me offlist for the .OZ data.

Hi Martin:

I wish to recieve te .OZ admin if it is OK for the openNIC group.

How can we do the transition?
