Absolutely I want to know what IWS stands for--not on the cover, but if I were reading the book I would be wondering, and the longer I wondered, the more I would want some hilarious and/or totally unexpected meaning to eventually be revealed. I would definitely want a payoff if the name were withheld.
Why in the world would you NOT want to make up a clever name first and then use the initials? And in a series title yet! Makes no sense to me.
I read "rules" as a verb, not a noun. As a noun, I would assume that the book would tell me what the rules were--from your blurb, I would be thinking that the first general rule is to do what needs to be done, legal or not. I would not expect a list of specifics. It's a totally different thing than not knowing the name of the organization.
