Should IEDR Reassess Its Rules?

IEDR unlike Nominet does not have a democratic structure, nor does it have committees or other organisms to oversee rules, regulations and many other aspects of the registry’s development.
Who is even on the board of the IEDR?
Who chooses the board members?
While personally I think this should all be addressed I have to admit that some areas of the registry’s activities are cause for more concern than others.
While the rules and regulations have developed over time they are still sorely inadequate for the Ireland we now live in.
As things stand the IEDR is lumbered with a number of rules that while aimed at protecting the national domain name space are actually doing more to hinder its development.
A case in point is the personal name rule. While there are ways and means to circumvent this restriction the question begging to be asked is why the restriction exists in the first place.
The other one that springs to mind is that of “indecent” or “offensive” domains.
On the plus side IEDR management can smirk (or possibly gloat) at the chaos in Eurid.
