You've managed to complete all the NM questions in a satisfactory way, so there is no doubt about that. For now I think it would be a good idea to make you a DM. One thing which always worried me a bit was the way you were handling your new packages. Yes, you're doing a lot of packaging work, but a) I personally think that it is not a good idea for one person to have dozens and dozens of packages and b) the way you asked for sponsorship was not the right to go (sending one RFS to a team or -mentors that includes half a dozen or a dozen packages is not helpful). Either way, I recommend that you become a DM for now and see how things go. This gives you the opportunity to maintain most of your packages. Of course, you'll still have to send the declaration email and other DDs can express their opinions as well (if they have any). I am sorry for the delay again. Cheers Steffen
