Since I do not bother being bashed, I dare to advance (borrowing from
Geometry, please recall that in the distant past I did naval
engineering) that "multistakeholder" is orthogonal to "democracy",
"participation" and so on. We make multistakeholder democratic and
participative by our own (each stakeholder's) actions.
