In fact, while I think that multistakeholder cooperation (meaning the ability of all parties to participate in an open and transparent manner) has worked very well for technical standards and related registry policy, it is not apparent that it suffices (at least unchanged) as we begin to look at the next stage of Internet cooperation.

It's meant in the plain meaning of the individual words - i.e. organizations cooperating
