ASTROTURFING - The implication behind the use of the term is that instead of a "true" or "natural" grassroots effort behind the activity in question, there is a "fake" or "artificial" appearance of support.

Do they take any notice of members views anyway, or is it just the appearance of consultation?

I remember many years ago when the idea of "forums" - as in platforms like vetsurgeon.org - was suggested to the RCVS and they wanted to know the locations where they were held...
