I haven't read your blog.  But I always define multistakeholderism
(m17m) as a form of participatory democracy that builds on the
representative democracy that some few nations have put into effect as
well as the bottom-up organic coming together of stakeholders, who
sometime aggregate into stakeholder groups, on a particular theme.  I
define it as a form of democracy somewhere between basic representative
democracy and full direct democracy.

I think many other accept some form of the m17m is a form of
participatory democracy definition.  So the frames of reference are
really quite different.
