This image summarizes the essence of the WEF: Famous rocker, President, UN Secretary General and some guy from Africa. Their hearts are in the right place, right:
The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
But a forum of unelected leaders...getting together to shape agendas...no. Don't go all conspiracy theory Tim. Noooo!
Perhaps, the recent WEF call for video submissions by world citizens will lead to more transparency and more open dialog on contentious social, political and environmental issues.
