I have often tried to initiate a discussion on this list about what is 
meant by equal participation of all stakeholders in actual decision 
making process/ level but discussion never got too far... we first need 
to know what we are talking about here before asking for it..... 
Wolfgang and Bertrand, and i think at some time, Marilia, made the 
distinction on this list about the decision inputting and shaping and 
decision making levels/ stages........  so where all do we want equal 
participation. Does it mean that a google or Microsoft rep will sign a 
privacy or data flow/ protection treaty is one is to be made, and thus 
will have a veto on it... I am not sure what equally represented means 
here, so if you can clarify maybe we can find a good text to go with...
