Correct. Multistakeholderism is a pre-decision system, like electoral 
campaigning where every (democracy) or only some candidates 
(oligarchy) are permitted. The decision process itself can be by vote 
(democracy), humming - (rough) consensus (e.g. IETF), received order 
(dictatures), electoral manipulation (fraud), predetermined plan 
(strategic use), emergence from individual self-decisions (polycracy)

In the recent USIG case, the OpenStand, WCIT minority position + 
Snowden + RFC 6852 + Montevideo + Sao Paulo annoucement + March 14th 
(NTIA annoucement, I*Leader approbation, Industry support, and Lynn 
St Amour 35 pages study on the consequences) sequence, this might be 
a decision by predetermined plan.

I have nothing about strategic plans if they are open, for my own 
good, and fair for all. I am suspicious when they are not transparent 
(but this may be loyally necessary). I tend to oppose them as 
inefficient on the long range when they are disloyal, i.e. showing a 
conflict between disclosed and undisclosed but manifest objectives.

I tend to consider policracy as the only realistic way to obtain a 
decision from the Multitude (i.e. all those having retained their 
informed self-determination, in the Internet case, the IUsers).
