And preferably not in jargon/coined words. I am pretty well educated
and have no idea what multistakeholderism means, though I could
obviously guess, and have certainly not heard it. Moreover, I cannot
find it in a dictionary; not even Wiktionary, which is fairly up on
IT-isms (and yes, I coined that).
To convert the converted you can speak any jargon or coined language
you wish, and it will not put them off. But to convert others you
need, I would have thought, correct, correctly spelt, English.

P.S. I'm impressed that you have read the charter, Bob.
