my recommendation is 50% DRI as most everyone uses at least a little iodized salt... eggs & fish also contain considerable amounts.

Vote for potassium iodide too, at RDI levels. Unless there are studies where kelp is shown to be of much greater benefit, and can guarantee it is free of pollutants, I see no reason to use it. There have been studies showing contamination with kelp supplements.

Is there any problem with higher doses?We're not considering economising. The problem is that there is not much evidence of benefits at higher doses, no strong evidence at any rate. I feel that 100% is going overboard, but 50% may be on the low side.

of households consuming iodised salt is the highest in the world (90%), and the highest
prevalence of iodine deficiency is in the European Region

Does anyone have a peer reviewed article looking at the prevalence of deficiency in Americans and showing it a problem? My Pubmed skills seem lacking at the moment. This is what I have found so far:
