Being inclusive --- Thanks for starting this useful discussion Lessur, and to Nathalie, Fritz, Sepideh and many others for taking part. My take from this, and from my own experience, is that no partner will feel like a partner if it's not consulted appropriately. What that means will depend on the nature of its participation, but in general Phoebe puts it well when she says consultation should take place at every stage of the process and be part of the building and maintenance of the sense of ownership.
