[bc-gnso] Vested interests - status quo - market incumbents - anti trust

[Philip Sheppard]

In the context of the VI debater Mike R has made a telling comment:
 
"I do not think it possible to get the support of parties who have a vested
economic interest in the status quo"
 
This to my mind is one of the key flaws of the WG model of policy development.
Incumbents are able to manipulate future markets.
This has anti-trust implications.
 
A User House project could usefully take this up for broader discussion.
First steps would by CSG agreement to do so.
Sarah - would you be willing to take this forward?
