<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Not sure I count as a civil servant, but I am quite familiar with the scenario that legislation is prepared by external expertise.<br>
<br>
To me, the question whether the preparation and its process is publicly archived is crucial.<br>
<br>
I don't know of any other way to tell an activist from a lobbyist, civil society from corporate interests.<br>

<br>
The difficulty lies on those grey zones you are enjoying, <br>
<br>
Is your experience of civil servants - unable to prepare legislation without drawing on external expertise - large enough for coming to conclusion that without lobbyists, and big corps, civil servants are not able to accomplish their task? Have you got any
documentation on this? Or is this something that is very well known, but undocumented for some reasons? And, if any civil servants on the list, do you agree with that understanding of civil servants poor capacities? Maybe we should ask them outside of these
governance and Best bits listing?<br>
<br>
On top of civil servants, you add that civil society has no capacity to counterbalance big corps...<br>
<br>
At the end of the day, who has true capacity in your multistakeholder prism?<br>
No civil servants, no civil society...<br>
So who's able?<br>
Corporate servants, corporate society..<br>
<br>
With such a vision, I doubt you believe in multistakeholderism: why do you bother with civil servants and civil society?<br>
<br>
All of that sounds really like non sense. But maybe I need to join a multistakholder meeting, so to understand more of the real life.<br>
<br>
Jeanette,<br>
<br>
All of this is really going insane.<br>
<br>
Michael is so right<br>
