Anyone can be a director on youtube. It is NOT a special account type. Nor do you have any rights that normal user's don't. To do this, just go here: http://www.youtube.com/my_prof ile

Then go to the bottom and in the drop-down menu for, "New Channel Type," choose Director. Don't forget to click the "Update Channel" button, too.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hope this helps,
