<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Regarding "public interest", I recently wrote an

academic version over 10 years ago.)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Hope this could be of some help.</FONT></DIV>

type="cite">- Regarding the "open Internet" issue. I strongly support it
staying. We will still need to consider the ICANN mission, but if we
restrict things too much, we will end up doing ONLY things that ICANN itself
could or should be doing and we will have lost a HUGE opportunity to do
really good things with what is likely to be close to 1/4 of a billion
dollars. If we end up wasting that, it would be a pity.</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I
support the "open Internet" but the problem I have is that there are calls to
define what the "open Internet" is. It just smells like another debate to
define what "the public interest" is.<BR>Kindest regards,<BR><BR>Olivier<BR>
