Mark, to answer your question, anyone can DM. Not everyone can DM well, but anyone can do it. And I think a newbie DM would be a great way to try out the playtest materials.
In fact, I just (finally) ran the playtest with one of my groups yesterday. I DMed, and the last time I DMed was one-shot 5 years ago. Prior to that I hadn't DMed since the mid-80's. LOL
What I'm sad about right now is that now that I finally got a chance to try it out, the first survey has already been taken down. Oh well... I eagerly await the next round of playtesting.
