Ian,

Frankly, I believe that the basic political purpose is to get equal 
political representation of all people and all sections of people, of 
the world. Multistakeholderism is *only a means*, to the extent it does 
achieve the purpose, of ensuring that such participation is in fact 
achieved. I have great issues in mentioning multistakeholderism *instead 
of* participation of all people. Such a stance underlies a new political 
ideology that is taking strong roots in the world, which in my view is 
essentially anti-democratic. I have no problem with *also* mentioning 
multistakeholderism along with political participation of people of the 
world.

regards

Parminder
