@andrewnez Indeed! And yet, most registries get this governance role without people really thinking about it or agreeing to giving them this role (sometimes, even the registry developers initially didn't think about it). Rather, people just choose to use a registry for technical reasons, then one day, the registry has become a central piece of the ecosystem, and its owners suddenly have to make governance decisions... (That being said, that's no different from how people choose social media or other internet platforms, and end up being dependent on the policies enacted by the people who own the platforms.) Thinking about community ownership of registries and governance in advance would be much better, but that's often not the case because people typically focus on the technical first.
