Speaking personally, not necessarily in any of my capacities inside
ICANN, but, of course, with the benefit of having sat on the ICANN
Board for the pas few years, my personal my personal opinion is that
registries and registrars should publish their rules as a matter of
good, clean business practice.  Of course, I would expect those
published statements will include considerable leeway for judgment.

ICANN is a bottom up, multi-stakeholder organization.  If there is to
be a review of acceptable practices for gTLDs, it would probably
require a policy development process through the GNSO rather than a
review imposed by staff.
