No I didn't. And in fact I'm sufficiently well-aware of this problem
from my own observations that I don't need anyone to tell me that it
exists.

Now in spite of this problem, and in fact even acknowledging it, WK is
calling for civil society to "speak with one voice".

So I find it natural to ask how it would be determined what this "one
voice" says concretely!

In particular, some kind of credible plan would be needed to prevent
such a determination from being made on behalf of civil society as a
whole in a way that in reality might be significantly less inclusive
than it would claim to be. 

Greetings,
Norbert
