And WHO made the decision in the IWF name

I have searched the IWF and Googled madly to find the names of the decision makers within the IWF. To no avail as all that is shown as "members" is a long list of the participating companies ranging from Tesco to PayPal to BP to various ISPs, telcos and IT organisations.
While the IWF is a good thing to keep a paternal eye on the UK net, the composition of the actual "paternal eye executive" must be publicly known and accountable. This executive must be required to be guided by the general attitudes and policies of the member companies/organisations and should have a number of members of the internet using public randomly selected as non executive members.
Public accountability for decisions made is essential to ensure decisions are well made.
