-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Maria - it's an interesting thought. I wonder, as the IO's "list" came from the scope he was given in the new applicant guidebook - presumably this was the result of some community discussion and agreement as it was developed about what "public interest" objections might cover. So perhaps start there as a minimum - but there may have been NCUC submissions on the point that were wider in scope, perhaps check the www.ncuc.org webpage?
