Dear IPBES, you should know that as long as you ask for "governments and interested stakeholders", you're excluding 90% of those with the knowledge you need. What's the hurdle? Your own protocols.

For IPBES the definition of a stakeholder is remarkably inclusive, incorporating anyone who can benefit from the work we do. In that sense, few people would *not* be a stakeholder: ipbes.net/stakeholders

Terminological obfuscation my dear fellows. We like what IPBES does, but how does a knowledge holder and interested stakeholder - who is not government, not UN and not intergovernment agency - get to contribute to your work regionally?
