I'm probably the only remaining person here who was part of freeNIC. The 
idea was for a trust based, decentralized model. All participating 
servers could update the .free TLD. This model didn't fit OpenNIC at the 
time.

What you'll find though, and the dramas we've had for all these years is 
member participation. We did have a dedicated website admin, but he 
left. Members get very motivated, but they loose interest after a while.

I've only just handed over all my roles from within OpenNIC to Fusl and 
some others, they are doing a top notch job.
