<br>
First, in my opinion, the question of whether a global public
interest could exist admits a non-negative answer.<br>
<br>
Second, California requires of its applicant corporations for
public benefit status that an interest which it determines is a
public interest be pursued by the applicant.<br>
<br>
So, minimally, the Board's observation that one or more
Recommendations from this group be reviewed for consistency with
the public interest as represented to the state of California by
the Corporation is contained within its use of "global public
interest", and as I observed in my first remark, the statement of
public interest offered to the state of California may not exhaust
the standard of review.<br>
