Fully agree with this. In previous years cooperative agreements happened via small opaque groups of people across the world who had a fairly strong hand in driving alignment. Of course this meant that it wasn't so democratic and so people have been pushing against these types of "small group" deals made in back rooms by powerful people. That has changed such that people do not trust these groups to make these deals on their behalf because there have been bad outcomes. Now there are many more players in the conversation with their own perspectives which, while good for increasing diversity of opinion, also make the system mostly grind to a halt, which allows for groups who want to exploit their perspective to have more time to gain ground.
