A very comprehensive overview and smoothly delivered making this presentation digestible and entirely validated by doctoral researcher David Lim from Reading University. For those detractors and debunkers, the time is coming when this will be fully exposed very soon as more respected professionals realise the reality of the mass deception. Positive changes are happening, many thanks to David Lim and every ones efforts in exposing this incredible situation.

The full scale implementation of SRM is under a Moratorium by the United Nations.
The small scale testing of SRM is currently allowed by the UN and is basically unregulated.
The governance issue is about full scale activity and is still being debated.

So you can't really say "Set rules to regulate - done (United Nations)"
“MECHANICS” OF SRM RESEACH GOVERNANCE
2. DECISION-MAKING FOR SRM RESEARCH PROJECTS
Scope and Requirements:
The core of any governance system for SRM research will be the process of making decisions whether or not, or under what conditions and with what restrictions, proposed activities may proceed. No such system now exists, and in its absence any nation may conduct SRM – even at large scale, over its own territory, over others‟ with permission, or at sea – so long as there is no territorial violation or hostile intent. As a practical matter, such activity would no doubt attract immediate pressure from other nations to desist, but no existing international law
prohibits or regulates it.

4. TRANSPARENCY IN SRM RESEARCH AND GOVERNANCE
.....
In addition, given widespread suspicion of SRM from many citizens and organizations, building legitimacy of SRM research governance is likely to require broad dissemination of information about what is done, how decisions are made, and what results are observed. This must be made widely available, to national governments, participants in whatever consultative or deliberative processes have been established, and the interested public. In the first instance, the presumption should be that as much as possible of the information generated through project
proposals, assessment and approval, implementation, and subsequent monitoring and evaluation, should be subject to such broader distribution – both in raw form and with summaries and syntheses, to allay suspicions that the system is being rigged or risks are being concealed.
There are, however, certain compelling reasons that can over-ride this general presumption for transparency and justify limiting availability of information in specific instances.
These can include:
- Protecting confidential information belonging to individuals or of competitive
significance between enterprises or researchers.
The cost and administrative burden of providing information (This may be particularly
significant for small or standardized projects);
- Safety, security, and management of international conflict
These issues suggest the following key questions to be addressed regarding information
transparency in SRM research governance:
1) Is information about ownership, control, financial backing, and intellectual property
deemed relevant to project assessment and approval – and consequently, should there be
requirements to disclose this in proposals

I just did.
Go check my edit and read the "Mechanics of Governance"

What's wrong with David Lim? Please explain.

Well it's just my opinion and you can certainly disagree.

Full scale SRM - no no no

I wouldn't want to be one of those people in Huntsville when that chaff cloud was tested.
Why can't they test this stuff above unpopulated areas at least?
A3 Policies and Regulations on Chaff Use
Current Air Force policy on use of chaff and flares was established by the Airspace Subgroup of Headquarter Air Force Flight Standards Agency in 1993. It requires units to obtain frequency clearance from the Air Force Frequency Management Center and the FAA prior to using chaff to ensure that training with chaff is conducted on a non-interference basis. This ensures electromagnetic compatibility between the FAA, the Federal Communications Commission, and Department of Defense (DoD) agencies. The Air Force does not place any restrictions on the use of chaff provided those conditions are met (Air Force 1997).
Air Force Instruction (AFI) 13-201, U.S. Air Force Airspace Management, November 2007. This guidance establishes practices to decrease disturbance from flight operations that might cause adverse public reaction. It emphasizes the Air Force’s responsibility to ensure that the public is protected to the maximum extent practicable from hazards and effects associated with flight operations.
AFI 11-214 Aircrew and Weapons Director and Terminal Attack Controller Procedures for Air Operations, December 2005. This instruction delineates procedures for chaff and flare use. It prohibits use unless in an approved area.
