In terms of regulators that promote and foster the industries under their supervision, it's not like the federal government haven't got a number of excellent examples to work from.
Take ACMA for example, and the functions set out in their Act. "Advise and assist the radiocommunications community" and "advise and assist the telecommunications industry" are quite literally at the top of the list.
From my extensive experience in doing business with them, those are functions that they take very seriously; they prefer to educate those who break the rules, and are reluctant to commence enforcement proceedings against an offender unless it's truly warranted.
