<div>'''How could we call a coming age of participation?''' <br />
<br />
Philippe Van Nedervelde suggests two possible names, both drawn from classical Greek:<br />
<br />
<br />
1) '''Synergos''', from "sun/syn" = together; "ergos" = work<br />
<br />
2) '''Metechos''', denotes sharing/participating<br />

<br />
For an intro, read Michel Bauwens on [http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=102 the Great Cosmic Mash-Up], which focuses on P2P and common projects and their role in the construction of our identity:<br />
<br />
"'''Postmodernism was all about deconstructing oppressive mental structures that we inherited from modernity. Amongst other things the Cartesian subject/object split and the alienating effects of Kantian's impossibility of knowing true reality; it was a necessary destructive passage, a cleaning out process, but it didn't, as its names "post"- indicate, construct anything. So in my view, if modernity was about constructing the individual (along subject/object divisions), and postmodernity about deconstructing this, then this new era, which I'ld like to call the era of participation, is about constructing relationality or participation. We are not going back to the premodern wholistic era and feelings, but just as modernity was about rigorously individualising everything, eventually reaching the current dead-end of hyper-individualism, we are now just as rigorously 'relationising' everything. If in premodernity we thought, we are parts of a whole that is one and above us, and in modernity we thought we are separate and unified individuals, a world onto ourselves, and in postmodernity saw ourselves fragmenting, and pretty much lamented this, then this is the mash-up era. We now know that all this fragments can be reconstructed with the zillions of fragment of the others, into zillions of commonalities, into temporary wholes that are so many new creative projects, but all united in a ever-moving Commons that is open to all of us..<br />
<br />
So the fragmentation of postmodernity is a given for us now, but we are no longer lamenting, we are discovering the technologies (infrastructural, collaborative-software-ish, political, but above all the mental and epistemological) that allow us to use this fragmentation to create the Great Cosmic Mash-Up. That is the historical task of the emerging Peer to Peer Era'''."<br />
<br />
<br />
2. From: The [[Next Buddha Will Be a Collective]]. By Michel Bauwens<br />
<br />
"the 3 paradigm shifts (open/free, participatory, commons), although only emerging as seed forms at this stage, are letting themselves be felt through contemporary spiritual practices. It suggests a new approach to spirituality which I would like to call a contributory spirituality. This approach would consider that each tradition is a set of injunctions set from within a specific framework, and which can disclose different facets of reality. This framework may be influenced by a set of values (patriarchy, exclusive truth doctrines, etc…), which might be rejected today, but also contains psycho-spiritual practices which disclose particular truths about our relationship with the universe. Discovering spiritual truth then, requires at least a partial exposure to these differential methods of truth discovery, within a comparative framework, but it also requires intersubjective feedback, so it is a quest that cannot be undertaken alone, but along with others on the same path. Tradition is thereby not rejected, but critically experienced and evaluated. The modern spiritual practicioner can hold himself beholden to such a particular tradition, but need not feel confined to it. He/she can create spiritual inquiry circles that approach the different traditions with an open mind, experience them individually and collectively, and where the different individual experiences can be exchanged. In this way, a new collective body of spiritual experiences is created, which is continuously co-created by the inquiring spiritual communities and individuals. The outcome of that process will be a co-created reality that is unpredictable and will create new, as yet unpredictable spiritual formats. But one thing is sure: it will be an open, participatory, approach leading to a commons of spiritual knowledge, from which all humanity can draw from."<br />

'''The liberation of the self involves, above all, a social process. In a society that has shriveled the self into a commodity — into an object manufactured for exchange — there can be no fulfilled self. There can only be the beginnings of selfhood, the emergence of a self that seeks fulfillment — a self that is largely defined by the obstacles it must overcome to achieve realization.'''<br />

<br />
<br />
"The reference to “northward arm” and “southward arm” is typically Wintu, and its usage suggests a cultural wisdom so deep and unconscious that it was embedded in the very structure of language. In English we refer to the right arm and left arm, and we might describe a certain mountain as being to our right or left, in front or in back of us depending on which way we are facing at the moment. We use the body — the self — as the point of reference against which we describe the world. The Wintu would never do this, and indeed the Wintu language would not permit it. If a certain mountain was to the north, say, the arm nearest that mountain would be called the northward arm. If the Wintu turned around, the arm that had previously been referred to as the northward arm would now be called the southward arm. In other words, '''the features of the world remained the constant reference, the sense of self was what changed — a self that continually accommodated and adjusted to a world in which the individual was not the center of all creation'''."<br />

<br />
Jesus, in the Gospel, did not say, "My kingdom is not of this world; that was the bad translators who, by suppressing three words in one phrase of St. John, have made it say this. Jesus said literally, "My kingdom is not yet of these times." And as his kingdom, as it is explained in the same passage, is the reign of justice and truth, and as it adds that this kingdom will come on the earth, it follows that, very far from have prophesied that the principles of equality will never be realized on earth, Jesus on the contrary prophesied their realization, their reign, their arrival.<br />

"If what we are calling the ontology of the One rejects what is not itself – by positing a radical commensurability by which only that which is its Self is valued, and all that is Other is devalued – and what we are calling the ontology of the Zero rejects everything – by positing a radical incommensurability by which nothing can be valued at all – then the<br />
ontology of the Many succeeds because it rejects nothing (out of hand) – by positing a perpetual flux of commensurables and incommensurables by which subjects/objects, Nature/Society, humans/nonhumans, are continually constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed, in other words, e-value-ated."<br />

<div>'''= a conference and summit to restore the true p2p nature of the internet, social media, and all that it enables in culture and society, initiated by Douglas Rushkoff'''<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
=Introduction=<br />
<br />
* Excerpted from [[Motivation for the Contact Summit]], by Douglas Rushkoff:<br />
<br />
"Contact will seek to explore and realize the greater promise of social media to promote new forms of culture, commerce, collective action, and creativity. I'm inviting technologists, artists, activists, businesspeople, funders, and other stakeholders in the networked future, to come together to hatch new ideas, connect with new collaborators, and forge an ongoing community for innovating social media and beyond.<br />
<br />
From the development of a new non-hierarchical Internet to the implementation of alternative e-currencies, the prototyping of open source democracy to experiments in collective cultural expression, Contact will seek to initiate mechanisms that realize the true promise of the networking revolution.<br />
<br />
The first summit, to be held October 20, 2011 as a MeetupEverywhere and centered at the historic Angel Orensanz Center in New York City, will be a participatory festival for ideas and action, consisting primarily of meetings convened by attendees. Featured participants will deliver brief "provocations" on stage, sharing the greatest challenges they are facing in their particular fields. But their primary contribution to the day will be to join in the meetings convened by other participants, sharing their experience, insight, and even connections to help bring these ideas into reality."<br />
(http://www.shareable.net/blog/the-evolution-will-be-socialized)<br />
<br />
"At the epicenter of CONTACT will be the Bazaar - a free-form marketplace of ideas, demos, haggling, and ad-hoc connections. If you have visited the Akihabara, Tokyo’s ultra-vibrant open-air electronics market, or the under-the-highway open-air jade market of Kowloon, or even the Burning Man festival, you understand the power of combining commerce, physical location, and serendipity. A decidedly unstructured counterpart to the convened meetings, solo provocations, and the MeetUpEverywheres, the Bazaar will bring p2p to life, encouraging introductions, brokering, deal-making, food-tasting, and propositions of every kind. It is where the social, business, political, and spiritual agendas merge into one big human agenda."<br />

<br />
[[Image:Michel Bauwens.png|left|Michel Bauwens.png]] Michel Bauwens is a Belgian national working out of Thailand, focusing on a book about P2P Theory which adequately describes and explains current trends, to propose, in dialog with others, sustainable strategies for political and social change, i.e. to achieve a 'commons-based society' that can operate within a reformed market and state. <br />
<br />
His past includes creation of two internet start-ups, the intranet/extranet company E-Com (sold to Alcatel) and the interactive marketing company Kyberco (sold to Tagora holding). He was European Mgr. of Thought Leadership for MarchFIRST, and ebusiness strategy director for Belgacom, Belgium’s leading telco (1999-2002). <br />
<br />
He started his career as information analyst and reference librarian for the United States Information Agency (1983-2000), worked as information manager for British Petroleum (1990-1993) (where he created one of the first virtual information centers and is credited for coining the concept of cybrarian), and is former editor-in-chief of the first European digital convergence magazine, the Dutch language Wave. <br />

<br />
George is passionate about co-creating a world in which the full development of everyone is the goal of the whole. Work as creative self-expression is ceased to be the privilege of the few, and recognized as birthright of the multitude; a world, where all social institutions are designed to increase aliveness, joy, and prosperity for all. He is working for that by designing/advising projects that amplify collective intelligence and wisdom in organizations and social ecosystems. His methodology, the Innovation Architecture, combines social, cognitive, and electronic technologies for resilience, innovation, and regeneration. <br />

Thomas Heydt-Benjamin researches security and privacy properties of ubiquitous and pervasive computing systems. Thomas brings with him to this work his prior experience in both attacks on and defenses of pervasive computing systems. In 2007 he participated in investigation of new contactless smart credit cards used in the United States, in which the team discovered serious flaws. In 2008 he and colleagues examined security and privacy properties of pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators, determining that some aspects of existing designs may present dangerous security vulnerabilities. As a member of the security and cryptography team at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory from 2008 to 2009, Thomas worked with ZRL's famous anonymous credentials systems, inventing several extensions to anonymous credentials. Thomas is currently focused on novel solutions to real world security problems in resource constrained devices similar to the credit cards and pacemakers he has previously studied. Thomas started hacking and exploring computer security systems at age 6 when first exposed to assembler programming on the IBM PC. This early interest lead to formal study of computer science during high school through the Science Honors Program at Columbia University. He then earned a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Yale University, and a Master of Science in computer science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. <br />

<br />
The author of numerous articles on science, technology, media and the arts, Pesce has also written five books, including ''The Playful World: How Technology is Transforming Our Imagination'' (Random House, 2000) which presented a roadmap of key 21st century technologies. <br />
<br />
Pesce contends we are entering an ‘era of hyperdistribution’ that will radically change our media ecosystem. Central to this shift is the take-up of p2p filesharing software like BitTorrent that provides the first truly efficient digital media distribution platform based on the principles of swarming. <br />
<br />
More recently Pesce has discussed the importance of articulated social networks as a means to socially filter increasing informational pressure and sort quality material based on recommendations from trusted sources. <br />

"Normal" people don't know how to use BitTorrent or port forward their router, for instance, so how can they participate in one of the many p2p networks in existence today? <br />

"Normal" people don't even know they HAVE a router, they take what the telco gives them and call them when it breaks. <br />

<hr />
<div>Please add your ideas about autonomous internet here. "Greenfield" means that you are "wiping the slate clean" and trying to imagine a whole new system from the ground up. This is meant mostly as an exercise in imagining and visioning new alternatives. The practical reality is that most efforts will build on existing concepts and technologies. However, the goal of this page is to offer a space to think beyond those existing technologies.<br />
<br />
<br />
== A Whole-earth system ==<br />
The Internet is a global network. It does not need to (and actually is hindered by) country borders and political divisions. It is simply '''infrastructure for the whole planet'''.<br />
<br />
Thus, the domain system as a top-level navigation entity should disappear. Apart from the fact that it is not mandatory to be used (I can buy most domains in country top-level domains I am not living in), it simply is obsolete in a globalized environment.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Internet then could be working as a single big system, instead of replicating functions and data silos across sites. Therefore, a '''service oriented architecture''' may be set up addressing '''the system as a whole''', for example:<br />
<br />
* Directory services for finding information, people, organizations, groups, etc.<br />
* Accounting services for virtual/online currencies, etc.<br />
* Profiling services, authentication services, security services (certificates, etc.)<br />
* Rating services<br />
* Tagging services<br />
* many more<br />
<br />
The Internet would run ''humanity'' as a single organization (like a 'multinational ' for all people); thus, bringing the collaborative / cooperative meme of our times to full fruition.--[[User:Fablife|Fablife]] 14:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)<br />

Physical connections, wires, cables, are another layer in the system.<br />
<br />
====Plural addressing schemes====<br />
Nodes on the networks have multiple addresses.<br />
<br />
====Plural communication protocols====<br />
Nodes on the networks implement multiple communication protocols.<br />
<br />
====Plural software APIs====<br />
Software on the network will implement APIs for interoperability.<br />
Good APIs will provide mechanisms for automated discovery and communication.<br />
<br />
== Spam ==<br />
<br />
In the current internet, at the IP level, every packet is unsolicited; a router can't tell the difference between a packet that is part of an email from your boss and a smurf reply intended to flood a victim off the internet. Consequently, distributed denial service of attacks are impossible to stop, and disrupt existing relationships.<br />
<br />
Similarly, your mail server can't tell the difference between a Nigerian spam email and an email from your boss, so spam is a constant problem, and leads to the loss of legitimate email.<br />
<br />
We can divide communications into three categories:<br />
<br />
* Continuing communications that are part of an existing relationship;<br />
* Introductions, where an entity establishes a new relationship between two entities with which it already has relationships (for example, a SIP server setting up a call, or forwarding an email from one of your contacts to another);<br />
* Unsolicited communications, where two previously unrelated entities establish a new relationship; for example, leaving a comment on a stranger's blog.<br />
<br />
Unsolicited communications are a legitimate and important function of the internet. But any network that supports unsolicited communications will suffer from spam, and so there is no way to make unsolicited communications reliable in the presence of malicious actors who deliberately overload its capacity. However, it is possible for a network to prioritize continuing communications and introductions over unsolicited communications, reducing the damage done by spam.<br />
<br />
== MIXes ==<br />
<br />
A significant class of risks in the current infrastructure stem from the unwarranted revelation of identity information. This can be used to retaliate against deviant behavior (e.g. homosexuality, journalism, copyright infringement, organizing protests to call for democracy, gambling, masturbation, or marital infidelity); to commit fraud using that identity information; to discriminate against classes of people, such as those who live outside the USA; to impede the use of the network, for example by denial-of-service attacks. (Impeding the use of the network may be a form of retaliation, but it is sometimes carried out for other reasons as well; consider Gaddafi's recent denial of telecommunications services to all Libyans, which was intended to prevent them from organizing protests, not to retaliate against them for having activist compatriots.)<br />
<br />
MIX networks, such as the cypherpunks anonymous remailers and the TOR network, provide a way for people to communicate with each other without revealing identity information, and in particular without revealing their network locations. But MIX networks are currently subject to both technical and social limitations that stem from their non-ubiquity. Due to low and highly variable traffic, traffic analysis of current MIX networks could potentially reveal the identity information they are intended to conceal, and MIX node operators are sometimes subject to sanctions, such as being banned from editing Wikipedia or chatting on Freenode, or being raided by police in a few exceptional cases.<br />
<br />
If MIXes were the standard infrastructure of a large network, they would be much less vulnerable to these problems.<br />

<div>Please add your ideas about autonomous internet here. "Greenfield" means that you are "wiping the slate clean" and trying to imagine a whole new system from the ground up.

<br />
== A Whole-earth system ==<br />
The Internet is a global network. It does not need to (and actually is hindered by) country borders and political divisions. It is simply '''infrastructure for the whole planet'''.<br />
<br />
Thus, the domain system as a top-level navigation entity should disappear. Apart from the fact that it is not mandatory to be used (I can buy most domains in country top-level domains I am not living in), it simply is obsolete in a globalized environment.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Internet then could be working as a single big system, instead of replicating functions and data silos across sites. Therefore, a '''service oriented architecture''' may be set up addressing '''the system as a whole''', for example:<br />
<br />
* Directory services for finding information, people, organizations, groups, etc.<br />
* Accounting services for virtual/online currencies, etc.<br />
* Profiling services, authentication services, security services (certificates, etc.)<br />
* Rating services<br />
* Tagging services<br />
* many more<br />
<br />
The Internet would run ''humanity'' as a single organization (like a 'multinational ' for all people); thus, bringing the collaborative / cooperative meme of our times to full fruition.--[[User:Fablife|Fablife]] 14:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)<br />

<hr />
<div>'''= a conference and summit to restore the true p2p nature of the internet, social media, and all that it enables in culture and society, initiated by Douglas Rushkoff'''<br />
<br />
URL = http://contactcon.com/<br />
<br />
<br />
=Introduction=<br />
<br />
* Excerpted from [[Motivation for the Contact Summit]], by Douglas Rushkoff:<br />
<br />
"Contact will seek to explore and realize the greater promise of social media to promote new forms of culture, commerce, collective action, and creativity. I'm inviting technologists, artists, activists, businesspeople, funders, and other stakeholders in the networked future, to come together to hatch new ideas, connect with new collaborators, and forge an ongoing community for innovating social media and beyond.<br />
<br />
From the development of a new non-hierarchical Internet to the implementation of alternative e-currencies, the prototyping of open source democracy to experiments in collective cultural expression, Contact will seek to initiate mechanisms that realize the true promise of the networking revolution.<br />
<br />
The first summit, to be held October 20, 2011 as a MeetupEverywhere and centered at the historic Angel Orensanz Center in New York City, will be a participatory festival for ideas and action, consisting primarily of meetings convened by attendees. Featured participants will deliver brief "provocations" on stage, sharing the greatest challenges they are facing in their particular fields. But their primary contribution to the day will be to join in the meetings convened by other participants, sharing their experience, insight, and even connections to help bring these ideas into reality."<br />
(http://www.shareable.net/blog/the-evolution-will-be-socialized)<br />
<br />
"At the epicenter of CONTACT will be the Bazaar - a free-form marketplace of ideas, demos, haggling, and ad-hoc connections. If you have visited the Akihabara, Tokyo’s ultra-vibrant open-air electronics market, or the under-the-highway open-air jade market of Kowloon, or even the Burning Man festival, you understand the power of combining commerce, physical location, and serendipity. A decidedly unstructured counterpart to the convened meetings, solo provocations, and the MeetUpEverywheres, the Bazaar will bring p2p to life, encouraging introductions, brokering, deal-making, food-tasting, and propositions of every kind. It is where the social, business, political, and spiritual agendas merge into one big human agenda."<br />

===== Transparency/awareness over secrecy =====<br />
<br />
A commitment to transparency accepts that p2p oversight is here to stay.<br />
<br />
We are all participants in transparency and awareness in p2p mediums.<br />
<br />
===== "Parties", not "Party" =====<br />
<br />
From singular entities to plurality. Remember, you are a party of one.<br />
<br />
The most important political entity in Peer-to-Peer Advocacy is you, the person. Your value is exponentially greater than any party or organization of any type, in Peer-to-peer systems. To that end, looking for ways to participate directly with other people per problem or issue, is more effective more of the time than first requiring affiliation with party or group.<br />

'''''No advocate of peer-to-peer politics wants all communications or activity routed through them. Bottlenecks are weaknesses.'''<br />

<br />
===== Right to Communicate =====<br />
<br />
People have a right to talk to other people. Hannah Arendt famously pointed out in her book "The Origins of Totalinarianism" that despotism begins with preventing lateral communication.<br />
<br />
===== Right to Share =====<br />
<br />
People have a right, and arguably, a responsibility to share things with others.<br />
<br />
===== Voluntary co-governance when needed. =====<br />
<br />
Voluntary co-governance works better outside of the "halls of government". You are better off representing yourself, and working with your peers on problems that affect you, than deferring them all to one or two people who represent you and all of your peers.<br />
<br />
= Economics =<br />
<br />
===== The General Welfare =====<br />
<br />
Economics is not about making money or economic growth. It's about providing for human needs in a sustainable way. Peer-to-peer creation and distribution is the best way to achieve maximum needs satisfaction with a minimum of effort and a minimum environmental impact, because flexible complex systems are the best way to get what is needed to where it is needed.<br />
<br />
===== Resource sharing and commons co-governance over resource hoarding and self-interest =====<br />
<br />
Sharing re-usable tools not only cuts costs in our increasingly unstable global economy, but it's also just plain fair.<br />
<br />
===== Transparency/awareness over secrecy =====<br />
<br />
A commitment to transparency accepts that p2p oversight is here to stay.<br />
<br />
===== Copyright/Copyleft =====<br />
<br />
Copyright issues are an attempt to balance social needs with individual needs. The increased need for copyleft is part of the p2p vision.<br />
<br />
= Society =<br />
<br />
===== Communication Infrastructure =====<br />
<br />
The new world requires global always-on communication infrastructure that is co-owned and co-operated by everyone and protected from those who would enclose it for narrow self-interest.<br />
<br />
===== Reality of the new human environment =====<br />
<br />
You can no longer ask that question "what makes you think I want to work with you?". The reality of the environment is that you are now somehow connected with everyone, and it is not a question of "if", but rather "how and when" you will find your activities connected with others.</div>PHartzoghttps://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/index.php?title=The_Political_Principles_of_Peer-to-Peer_Advocacy&diff=47096The Political Principles of Peer-to-Peer Advocacy2011-02-04T17:00:28Z<p>PHartzog: About This Page</p>

'''This new section exclusively devoted to the emergence of [[Commons]] in various fields.'''<br />

Most commons fall into three general categories – gifts of nature, material creations, and intangible creations. [http://www.boell.org/downloads/Bollier_Commons.pdf]. Here are the [[Four Rules against the False Abundance of the Eternal Growth Economy]].<br />

=Introduction=<br />
<br />
* James Quilligan:<br />
<br />
"Our global economic system is now in grave crisis, threatening the entire planet, its institutions and species.<br />
<br />
A new kind of common wealth is needed to protect the assets of Earth, resolve our private and public debts, and create a global society of justice, sharing and sustainability for everyone.<br />
<br />
Our commons are the collective heritage of humanity — the shared resources of nature and society that we inherit, create and use. People across the world are now rediscovering these common goods and choosing to protect them for future generations.<br />
<br />
Whether our commons are traditional (rivers, forests, indigenous cultures) or emerging (solar energy, intellectual property, internet), communities are managing them through unique forms of self-governance, collaboration and collective action. And in working together to preserve these resources, we are generating new standards of responsibility, mutual aid and sustenance for all beings.<br />
<br />
Global Commons Trust promotes the creation of trusteeships, where the rights to our commons may be realized for the benefit of all."<br />

"Where people work together to both share those resources that are shareable<br />
now (software, designs, knowledge, waste that can be used as food,<br />
surplus capacities and resources) and cooperate to produce items that<br />
are still based in scarcity, then re-invest the profits into creating<br />

<div>P2P projects have structure and hierarchies, but they are flexible. They are not structureless or hierarchy-less.<br />
<br />
Below is a classic text on the topic.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Text=<br />
<br />
'''The [[Tyranny of Structurelessness]]'''<br />
<br />
Feminist and civic action groups of the sixties and seventies ... discovered that structureless anti-authoritarian modes actually lead to hidden power distributions, so that it is important to have open and transparent procedures that can insure a flexible and wide distribution of power. The following comes from a seminal essay on the subject:<br />
<br />
Source: 'The Tyranny of Structurelessness', by '''Jo Freeman, Berkeley Journal of Sociology, 1970'''<br />
<br />
"Contrary to what we would like to believe, '''there is no such thing as a 'structureless' group'''. Any group of people of whatever nature coming together for any length of time, for any purpose, will inevitably structure itself in some fashion. The structure may be flexible, it may vary over time, it may evenly or unevenly distribute tasks, power and resources over the members of the group. But it will be formed regardless of the abilities, personalities and intentions of the people involved. The very fact that we are individuals with different talents, predispositions and backgrounds makes this inevitable. Only if we refused to relate or interact on any basis whatsoever could we approximate 'structurelessness' and that is not the nature of a human group.<br />
<br />
1. Delegation_ of specific authority to specific individuals for specific tasks by democratic procedures. Letting people assume jobs or tasks by default only means they are not dependably done. If people are selected to do a task, preferably after expressing an interest or willingness to do it, they have made a commitment which cannot easily be ignored.<br />
<br />
2. Requiring all those to whom authority has been delegated to be _responsible_ to all those who selected them. This is how the group has control over people in positions of authority. Individuals may exercise power, but it is the group that has the ultimate say over how the power is exercised.<br />
<br />
3 _Distribution_ of authority among as many people as is reasonably possible. This prevents monopoly of power and requires those in positions of authority to consult with many others in the process of exercising it. It also gives many people an opportunity to have responsibility for specific tasks and thereby to learn specific skills.<br />
<br />
4. Rotation_ of tasks among individuals. Responsibilities which are held too long by one person, formally or informally, come to be seen as that person's 'property' and are not easily relinquished or controlled by the group. Conversely, if tasks are rotated too frequently the individual does not have time to learn her job well and acquire a sense of satisfaction of doing a good job.<br />
<br />
5. Allocation_ of tasks along rational criteria. Selecting someone for a position because they are liked by the group, or giving them hard work because they are disliked, serves neither the group nor the person in the long run. Ability, interest and responsibility have got to be the major concerns in such selection. People should be given an opportunity to learn skills they do not have, but this is best done through some sort of 'apprenticeship' programme rather than the 'sink or swim' method. Having a responsibility one can't handle well is demoralising. Conversely, being blackballed from what one can do well does not encourage one to develop one's skills. Women have been punished for being competent throughout most of human history: the movement does not need to repeat this process.<br />
<br />
6. Diffusion of information_ to everyone as frequently as possible. Information is power. Access to information enhances one's power. When an informal network spreads new ideas and information among themselves outside the group, they are already engaged in the process of forming an opinion without the group participating. The more one knows abouthow things work, the more politically effective one can be.<br />
<br />
7. Equal access to resources_ needed by the group. This is not always perfectly possible, but should be striven for. A member who maintains a monopoly over a needed resource (like a printing press or a darkroom owned by a husband) can unduly influence the use of that resource. Skills and information are also resources. Members' skills and information can be equally available only when members are willing to teach what they know to others.<br />
<br />
When these principles are applied, they ensure that whatever structures are developed by different movement groups will be controlled by and be responsible to the group. The group of people in positions of authority will be diffuse, flexible, open and temporary. They will not be in such an easy position to institutionalize their power because ultimate decisions will be made by the group at large. The group will have the power to determine who shall exercise authority within it."<br />
