Executive-Dominated Board Enforces Mandatory Registration

The Board governing the Registry is majority-controlled by executive appointees (President appoints all members; at least 3 of 8 are executive-aligned), creating a governance structure biased toward aggressive enforcement of the mandatory .gh registration requirement rather than business-friendly policies. The Board includes the Executive Director (who benefits from Registry growth through enforcement) and a licensed registrar representative (who may benefit from competitors facing penalties), creating conflicts of interest where the governing body profits from enforcement. Only one member represents the business community subject to mandatory registration, while no structural separation exists between policy-making and enforcement functions—the same Board governs both the monopoly operator and the enforcer of substantial penalties (21).
