1.  As much as I would like some voting rules, the second clause sets
too much of a precedent for setting central rules to override an
individual TLD's rules.  The third clause contains an exception to allow
TLDs to set their own rules for charter modification, but I don't like
that it is the exception rather than the rule.

2.  I would like to see you submit this as a separate proposal rather
than packing it in an omnibus.  I like the entire thing other than the
requirement to operate a T2 server for 3 months.  Please recall that you
started the .o domain without having operated a T2 first, and that none
of the .chan administrators have operated a T2 yet.  Although I agree
with having some barrier to entry to weed out spurious proposals, 3
months is far too long.  To use my case as an example, I have a T2, it's
just private because my DSL connection is too shitty to offer a good
service to users, and I've been too busy with other things in my life
(such as administrating a TLD) to get around to getting a VPS to run a
better nameserver.

4.  As much as I would enjoy abusing unlimited filibuster works, this
will lead to a flame war locking up a vote, as others have pointed out.

5. I would like to see T2 servers accepting notifies from the
authoritative servers get added here.
Also:
>Failure to meet the following minimum requirements may result in the
appointment of a temporary maintainer for your DNS space, removal of
your Tier 1 server, or removal of your TLD from the OpenNIC namespace.
Is not ok.  No codifying of TLD seizure please.

6.  I agree with Fusl here.  We probably shouldn't tie our hands here
considering that we really have no idea what we'll try to peer with in
the future.

IMO, this should have been done as several separate items.  Batching it
up like this is just going to confuse discussion.

Also, sorry I didn't get around to participating in the discussion earlier.
