The IEDR actually brought this up for discussion when the basis for the
current policies was first shown:
 http://www.domainregistry.ie/forum/sept98meeting/policy.html

The feeling from the meeting was that moving from the current SLD
registration was no longer a viable option. Migration/transition would 
be too problematic for too little gain.

Sign up to the IEDR-FORUM mailing list and have a peek back through some
of the posts of the time, for and against.
