Résumé : While inclusiveness becomes a priority in every public policy, exclusion is clearly present in GI systems through various kinds. Is removing all these exclusions making sense, in the name of seeking fully inclusive GI system? Some exclusions appear necessary for the functioning of any place-based sign, as delimitation process and choice of rules of production, providing the basis for product uniqueness. However, unnecessary exclusion reduces the representativeness of producers, unbalancing the value sharing along the chain, or depriving the local consumers of the typical product. Such exclusion jeopardizes the GI system by reducing the internal cohesion of stakeholders and the local anchorage. Our exploration shows that GI governance must be exclusive for a strong recognition and inclusive in order to ensure internal democracy and strong link to the local society. Therefore, it has no sense to seek an ideal GI fully inclusive.
