The correct way to do this is to assign guidelines for each ISO TLD
admninistrator to follow. They have two choices. Shared or non-shared.
It's very, very simple at this point. The country either has a
democratic-ish process and will listen to the wishes of their user-base
or it doesn't and won't. The decision is made locally and only affects
that country. Pressure from other countries adopting a shared model
will encourage other countries to do this too.

Either way, the option (and guidelines) for every ISO TLD to be shared
(by registries within that geographic region) *MUST* be in the draft.
If the IAHC do not build this option into the draft, the rest of the
world suffers from the consequences.
