It is not fair to say that the Multistakeholder model restricts
participation. In fact the opposite is true because this new model has a
working framework in place for bringing in participants other than elected
representatives and appointed functionaries ( would not be very wrong to
class these them both under "Government") to the table. And it is too early
in the evolutionary phase of multistakeholder model to draw a conclusion
that the participating stakeholders ​​​are not representative enough.

The contrary of what you said is true. By its definition, by its
intentions, and by the framework already in place, Multistakeholderism DOES
extend AND broaden the opportunity for EFFECTIVE participation.
