re eberhard's comment:

a friend in nigeria used the term "consultative forum" and i asked
for an explanation.  the answer is illuminating and reflects on
this forum in an amazingly apt way.

>> "consultative forum?"  we don't have the term.  the mind shudders. :-)

> we do, in the swamps :-).

> a term we use when we get bored with "stakeholders' forum", but they mean
> the same thing in the swamps. i.e. a "consultative forum" is one that is
> convened without announcing info on the agenda, venue, dates and times -
> except to a few- until the last minute. this determines who does the
> consultation, and with who. the communique, of course, since the forum is
> declared by the title to be consultative, would be expected to be binding
> on all.
