The "acceptable terms of services" criterion is already given by the
C4 clause:

  The site's terms of service contain no odious conditions.

Collaboration is a desirable thing.   However, the issue
here is whether it's desirable to push (and then trust) the
responsibility of evaluating terms of services for odious conditions to
a third party.  IMHO, it's a complex step and I'm not sure it'd be
a good move.  Using the tosdr.org to help us evaluating TOSs should be
OK, though.

We've published the criteria on gnu.org, and we'll publish the
evaluations there as well.  That's is simply hand-edited HTML by the
GNU webmasters.  For now, there is no compelling reason (I can think of)
to move it to a dedicated platform.  Can you think of any?
