Agreed. One policy for all. No exemptions for crappy policies here and there.
Let us now review all delagations to any country and see if  there is
"community consensus" regarding the ISO TLD registry in place today. Why?
Someone controls . and anyone who sits under . is part of a public trust
and a public delegation. Therefor as much as ANY public International
asset, ISO TLDs are an INternational asset, and must be delagted to a
organisation that follows standards and meets "community consensus".

Lets not fragment the DNS space. One policy for all.
