Sounds like change is needed but my view is slightly different
No to G
No to Y
No to Ask

$50.00 per submission ( 2 editors vet and if not acceptable NO REFUND and no dispute )

Money from submissions would fund better H/W S/W and xx full time editors who not only surf to find sites for inclusion , also to check current sites for still being correct and keep a check on spam inclusion.

The concept of DMOZ is still needed but funding should be found and by charging for submission would help to grow DMOZ and could even be used to tell Joe Public about the resource

If they do go G route or any other big boy the chances of the site being forced to change is greater

My own view is G had a lot of help early on with DMOZ providing seeding so it would not do G any harm to dip in the pocket and just give DMOZ one or two million with no strings attached
