Polycentricity is not the same as democracy.
Pushing the governance at the "local" level , to multiple actors disregards the fact that the design of the common medium, the infrastructure, has its own complex dynamics, that it requires democratic governance.
There is no such thing as a generic infrastructure that does not impose its own views / ethics / dynamics. It will always impose the views of its creators.
Robin, I have not seen you somewhere mention that.
