In my thinking, remote participation has to be real.  I am not sure the
technology is in place yet, and it is obvioius that not everyone has the
access or bandwidth.  So that is were more development and capacity
building is needed to meet the goal of equal footing and were
intermediate hub-like solutions may offer some help.

I tend to think that the defniton can work at the regional level, though
I am more thinking global level.

At the national level, there is a real notion of citizenship that needs
to be taken into account especially in countries where people have a
'real' vote, for some definition of representative democracy and real
voting.  I still believe a multistakeholder model is necessary, but i
think it comes out differently and needs a definition that take
citizenship into account.
