I strongly agree with this principle, as part of the even broader
principle that *all* legitimate concerns (including concerns that
are not particularly on the agenda of any government) must be
appropriately taken under consideration.

The challenge is of course that the more diverse the participants
in any discussion are, the more difficult it will be to arrive at
a conclusion that presents a viable way forward from all viewpoints
of the various participants. I suspect that this probably why the
G8 find the idea appealing to try to decide things simply among
themselves.

Greetings,
Norbert
