    Regarding additions to the glue zone... all of that stuff is
    automated, so once I add a TLD, it gets pushed out to the glue zone,
    server and reports pages, the APIs, etc, within a few hours. 
    Removing the TLD will take just as long, after I change a single
    entry.  The only thing that would have to be manually updated is the
    web and wiki pages.

I'd say the voting period should be longer than 7 days, maybe 14 minimum, since many people don't check the list too often and we want to make sure we get as many people as possible to vote on major things like this. I'd also probably contest the registration system clause, because it seems like a very bad idea to be removing TLDs after they've already been added, the root would just become that much more chaotic and we'd have to update things all over, from the homepage to the wiki, and the Tier 1 server list (which the API uses for all sorts of stuff as well). Either a registration system should be mandatory immediately or it shouldn't be a hard requirement at all (it could still be taken into account by the voters, but not hard policy). Otherwise I agree with the changes you suggested. I think the pre-existing T2 operator clause is a good way to ensure members are dedicated to the project.

Don't we already have an abuse/restricted content policy for OpenNIC, or does that not explicitly​ apply to TLDs?
