Canadian Centre For Policy Alternatives - Septmeber 2008: Tips for consultants

"If you are planning a consultation, you must first ensure that control of the process stays in corporate and government hands. Minimal public notice, short time frames, distant or expensive venues, and hired guns (process consultants) are all techniques that have been used successfully. It is also important to restrict citizen participation to the smallest number you can get away with. This may or may not include whatever segment of the public poses the greatest threat to the policy or development being proposed."
