The problem is that you want people knowledgeable in the subject to have input, and unfortunately knowledgeable people are usually those that work in the industry as they are up to date with the latest tech, challenges, information, etc.

If you didn't have that input it would just be politicians and lawmakers making the rules all willy nilly with no real understanding of the nitty gritty details.

There does need to be a better way, but I don't know what it is.
