[governance] Blogpost: Multistakeholderism vs. Democracy: My Adventures in "Stakeholderland"

[Adam Peake]

I don't see this going anywhere if it's just about blaming others.
(says he who has been more than happy to throw stones...)

So why not discuss what we think should happen, what's the right
process.  Starting with what's right for civil society.  And
respecting that business and the tech community isn't CS and might not
enjoy the self-flagellation/ridicule we favor :-)  Or, more seriously,
might have their own reasons for doing things differently.
