The focus here is of one clear set of functions - public policy making, 
that also, specifically decision making vis a vis public polices...

If we need closures somewhere. Power does not disappear in absence of 
legitimate governance. The Internet is right now being shaped by the 
powerful for their benefit.

At one point we need to agree on should be taking decisions for public 
policies.

And to reach that point faster than slower is more in the interest to 
those most excluded in current power configurations..
