I'm not an expert in quotology, but I must say this is the strangest use of
quotes I ever saw. :)

Anyway, there are many forms of multilateralism, some of which may include
more or less attention to multi-stakeholderism. It seems to me you are
simplifying reality.

So I assume that for you "multi-lateralism" and "multi-stakeholderism" are
mutually exclusive?

I will not argue on this as I guess this is a decision for IGC members to
take - perhaps by "humming"? (Yes, I'm being ironical, my apologies - I
know the IGC has a rather sophisticated online voting system, which begs
the question whether on strategic decision-making the IGC works mostly by
"rough consensus" or by old-style voting).
