I have the same comment as the one I posted in http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/entry/Request_to_Become_a_Moderator_jtadeo.

We need to get a few things set up first (like agreed rules, escalation procedures and a mechanism for handling moderator complaints) before we come to the issue of who the Moderator should be.

I'm afraid we will simply set up the Moderator to fail (ie bogged down in plenty of disputes) if we don't have the other things in place first. It will be like putting the cart see more before the horse.
