Dear Kaili, To keep the definition as narrow as possible, I see the "need" for regulation "in the public interest" only when there is conflict of interest between the public good/service provider (Rr/Ry) and the user (Registrant). There might be another good list of reasons for regulation, but in this case, and to make progress in the discussion Carlton proposed, would like to suggest to stick to a narrow and relevant definition of regulation and public interest. Happy to dicsuss any improvement to a narrow definition of public interest in our case, and avoid Fadi's failure in finding a general one.

Hi, Julf,
You have raised a very interesting question. However, according to the attached article of mine, the "public interest" is exactly the consumers/end-users' interest, which is to be represented by At-Large. That is, as long as the govermental regulator is fairly elected by the public.
