Stakeholder consultations in trade negotiations is a challenging task. Which interests constitute 'national interest', which diverse interests are to represented in the negotiations and how do we take stakeholder comments on board.
I found this webpage on consultations by the Canadian government on their FTA with ASEAN very interesting. It is titled 'Consulting Canadians on a possible Canada-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement', provides basic information on the need for the FTA and what they are looking for.
A good model to follow in complex, trade negotiations?

We want to hear from you. We need to hear your ideas, your experiences, and your priorities in relation to a possible FTA with ASEAN through these consultations.The list of people invited to offer comments is also widespread from labour unions to indigenous people to students.
These consultations will seek the views of Canadians to help define Canada’s interests in a possible free trade agreement, and identify opportunities for such an agreement to create wealth, innovation and jobs for Canadians.
