I would applaud you for going after it. For the process to work we need more than just those who have a financial stake. "stakeholders" is one of those overused words in public administration for public participation. Think of a stakeholder as anyone who is interested as opposed to anyone. Be aware it will be a lot of work and you have to have a a thick skin, patience, and a high tolerance for those you don't agree with. Which is why I may get out of the business.
