Even for resources where this is true and morally justifiable,
the *rules* of governance of these resources should be considered
matters of public interest.

The concern which Paul has raised is about the current owners of
private interests in these resources having near-absolute power
or at least unjustifiably great influence on the rule-making
processes.

This is a very justified concern in my eyes.

Greetings,
