Because a CDI's job is different from a regular terp's, I don't think linguistic competence should be the only measure. If a non-native signer wants to try to become a CDI, they should. Only they (and the test raters) know if they are capable or not. I wouldn't deny any deaf person the opportunity to try to become a CDI if they feel they have the skills for it.
