DMOZ is run by AOL. If you have concerns regarding legal matters about the directory, I suggest contacting AOL directly.
Decisions about editing activities are made by the editor community though. To enquire about any issues, you can use this forum. Many of the meta editors working on the directory are reading here and will be glad to assist you.
To report suspected abuse, please use the abuse report system.

The owner or supreme authority is AOL, though they don't interfere with the day to day running of the directory, which is done entirely by volunteer editors (the same ones that run this public forum).
Means of contacting AOL are on the Open Directory Project Terms of Use page ...
Hope this helps

There is no single point of authority for editing activities.

Your questions are best answered by the documentation on dmoz.org: (http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/) ...
Would you care to say something about why you want to contact "the admin" of ODP ?

To get an answer to questions like that you don´t need to talk to any admin or leader. Any experienced editor can answer such questions, and there are many of those in this Forum...
yes i have gone through the whole FAQ or Help section found on dmoz.org . But i want to know some more deeper information. In more detail. Why am i asking an admin? Because he has more experience and knows which type of requests he will like more. Maybe if somone will agree to talk to me i will be very glad

There are 600,000 categories. No one edits in all of them.
The sites all editors like are described in the guidelines.
The deepest information from all the experienced editors are:
a) the reason any listable site is not listed is because no editor has looked at it yet
b) we do not know when an editor will look at any site
c) there is no way to get a fast review
d) there are better things to do with your time than trying to get a fast review.

Well i know that diff people control different categories. But i just wanted to write a n article for the people help and probably convert it into a free e-book and help both the people. So i wanted to talk to anyone or everyone. And try to write a good article.
