Agonising over the definition of "public interest" has been a primary tactic of distraction. Constantly in search of its perfect definition, ICANN has been able to thoroughly avoid its service. On Sat, 14 Jul 2018 at 03:51, Kan Kaili <kankaili@gmail.com> wrote:
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.

But who defines "global public interest"? Unfortunately the standard answer tends to be "governments/UN/ITU".
