Australian registry removes domain names
The auDA - Australian Domain Name Administrator - deregistered domain names matching the names of the two miners that were freed.
The auDA’s policy is similar to the IEDR except that it’s retroactive - as in, you can automatically register any domain, but as the policy states, you must be able to demonstrate a reasonable claim to it (trademark / registered business name).
Maybe this is a better model for the IEDR - let people register any .ie domain name, but if it looks suspicious, or if there is a compliant about it - request the relevant documentation from the registrant, and if they can’t provide it - delist the domain. This would allow the .ie system to be automated, making it a lot more efficient for purchasers and registrars, as well as reducing overhead work for the IEDR themselves (which in turn could help bring some price parity with the TLD’s, and grow .ie numbers)
So a system of ‘policing’ rather than micro-governance.

It makes a lot of sense and hopefully less work would translate to lower prices long term.

staying closer to home, like Prize Bonds, anyone can buy them, but should you actually win a prize before they release the funds you have to provide them with some tax information (as required by the money laundering regulations)
