Over the period since November 2002 the IEDR consulted with the Local Internet Community on a number of important policy related issues and other matters of procedure, process and practices. These consultations were informal in nature, but were nevertheless structured to obtain the views of stakeholders on matters that impacted them, in their roles within the Local Internet Community. Over the years the IEDR consultation process improved - from the early use of Word documents sent by post or email, to the use of a Registrar Forum, polling software, and later, dedicated mailing lists.

In late 2010, the IEDR launched a process to develop a formal Policy Development Process (PDP). Following a detailed consultation process, the dedicated working group reached consensus on a new PDP, which went ‘live’ on 31 May 2011.

A representative sample of the early informal consultations, detailed here, is set out below, in no particular order of importance:-

1. API Introduction

2. Registry Registrar Model (RRM) Consultation

3. Revised T&C’s for New Resellers (and Termination of the VRS)

4. Personal Domain Names.

5. Transfer Policy v2

6. Whois Service Enhancements

7. Documentation Requirements:- Relaxations and Clarifications

8. Poll on Reducing the Volume of Automated Emails from IEDR

9. Poll on IE Zone Reload Frequency

10. Reduction to 27 Days for an Application Ticket

11.  Conditional Acceptances Policy Amendment

12. Proposal to Publish Registrar Names for New Registrations Statistics

13. Poll on the Choice of a New Accredited Registrar Logo

Note that the term “resellers” used within the document refers to IEDR’s Accredited Registrars. The terminology was changed in 2010.
