<p>" I harbor a concern that incremental change may be the only type of change that open multistakeholder deliberations can actually support, as the discussions of more revolutionary changes seem to inevitably jump to more authoritarian questions such as "who is charge", "who can approve this", etc. This is a topic worth thinking about in general about MS governance processes."</p>
