Multi-Equal Stakeholderism (was Re: [bestbits] Joint civil society endorsements for London meeting of High-Level Panel)

[Adam Peake]

concept of "multi-equal-stakeholder" was introduced by Fadi Chehadé soon after he joined ICANN last year.  Might have been used before, but something he's spoken of often.  It will be in meeting transcripts from around Oct 2012, or see, example,

Where multi-equal stakeholderism is usually used specifically in reference to organisations that do recognise stakeholder groups, to indicate that they should be equal to one another in process terms.  This distinguishes it from forms of multi-stakeholderism like at the OECD and purportedly at the ITU, that don't recognise equality between the stakeholders.  So it's an attempt to refine the term multi-stakeholderism.  I have to say, I don't really like the term though.
