Thanks for including me. I'd be interested in this, and my proposal is a bit of low-hanging fruit (at least for me). It builds on this line from the Berkman@10 report: "We were chartered to identify, study, and engage the most difficult and fundamental problems of the digital age, and to share in their resolution in ways that advance the public interest" as well as the "How do we define 'the public interest'?" question on page 41.

My proposal is a panel simply titled "How do we define the public interest?" Potential panelists include:

  • Tim Wu, who is writing a book that includes a deep dive on the history of the concept (going back to English common-law)
  • FCC Chairman Martin, who should know a thing or two about the public interest
  • William Galston, School of Public Policy, of University of Maryland
