<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">ICANN cannot determine the Global Public Interest alone, that is the work of the international law community world-wide, taking into account present
methodology for developing customary international law. I am working on a study on that because I find this concept strong enough to act as a mediator between so different interests of international community in its now different forms – states, civil society,
business etc. but also takes into account present major stakeholders like state or inter-governmental international organisations. In my humble opinion, it is the phrase for respect of international law for new international actors on the global plane like
ICANN. Besides the regulatory concept of this term, the other elements of adjudication and enforcement should be not forgotten.

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">ICANN was incorporated as a California “public benefit corporation” (i.e., a nonprofit) but the “global public interest” standard is quite new
and those of us with knowledge of history of utility regulation in the U.S. understand where a public interest standard comes from and what are its implications (basically, blanket grant of authority to determine what is good for us). Most of us don’t want
ICANN to have that power. Some people still can’t cough out an acknowledgment that ICANN is a regulator.</span></p>
