"'''Instead of further going down the corporate lane of Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook, I propose to go back to the original architecture of Internet as public infrastructure with decentralized nodes. It may be romantic to insist on the distributed nature of networks but it is a necessary political demand. Net criticism is a toothless project without a utopian dimension. Even if internet itself had a military origin in the Cold War, and is now dominated by equally destructive force of greedy venture capitalists, backed up by libertarian gurus. Let’s rethink the public sphere: another internet is possible'''!"<br />

=A Credo=<br />
<br />
* ... which could be ours as well, written by Markus Sabadello for the versionvega project [http://versionvega.com/vv/]:<br />
* ... that client-server architectures have become a dominant form of organization.<br />
* ... that the above is true in the world of information technologies as well as in real-life societies.<br />
* ... '''that the principle of these architectures - the flow of goods and information from the few to the many - has evolved not because it is the best solution to common problems, but because of a fundamental drive towards strict hierarchical control.'''<br />
* ... '''that many existing web applications, while promising to deliver open communication, self-fulfillment and creative liberation, do in fact serve to exploit as well as manipulate people's data and behavioral patterns.'''<br />
* ... that in recent years a strong development towards centralization of online services could be observed.<br />
* ... that this centralization tends to harm rather than make good use of the full potential of today's information technologies.<br />
* ... that insufficient privacy and freedom are only the most obvious of many problems inherent to today's client-server patterns.<br />
* ... that in human history an overflowing concentration of control and power has never been beneficial for the people.<br />
* ... '''that a peer-to-peer architecture can implement in better ways most applications that are currently designed in a client-server fashion'''.<br />
* ... that a peer-to-peer architecture furthermore gives rise to an entire new class of applications and possibilities.<br />

==The corporations won't do it==<br />
<br />
"Given currently available technology, we should all have cars that drive us around in absolute safety, leaving us to lounge in the back and sip champagne.<br />
<br />
We have all the hardware to do this — the video cameras, motion sensors and high powered computers — and we’ve had this technology for decades. So why don’t cars drive themselves? The answer is that we don’t have the software.<br />
<br />
This software will not be “owned” by corporations like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, who are mostly impeding technological progress. (Google supports efforts such as Linux via Android, but their AI code in Google Now, language translation and driverless cars are not built in an open way.) This software we need will be built by a global community, taking on problems too big for any one team to even understand. We should have been working together all along, but it is necessary now for the few big problems that remain."<br />

<br />
==THE VALUES THAT MAKE THE SOCIAL WEB REVOLUTIONARY==<br />
<br />
Anil Dash:<br />
<br />
* "A desire to improve and simplify the experience for writing and creating content online. This is probably the area that’s stagnated most until the recent crop of tools like Medium or Svbtle popped up, though there had been a few small improvements in more limited contexts where people carefully reduced the scale and scope of the messages being shared to 140 characters or a single photo or a simple, gestural “like”.<br />
<br />
* An understandable, but still geeky, desire to advance the “open web” in a decentralized architecture that mimics the early days of the Internet. Based on the success of early open technologies like email, this technological desire is a useful way of ensuring that new systems don’t simply become completely owned by corporate interests. Frequently accompanied by a preference open source software, this area of endeavor has been characterized by a constant flow of quixotically unsuccessful efforts (Diaspora, Open Social, etc.) but is recently ascendant again with the excitement around App.net.<br />
<br />
<br />
And the fundamental value which has given blogging and social media its moral grounding and its most significant impact:<br />
<br />
* The urge to make tools for communication and community more inclusive, more participatory and more democratic. To my surprise, this goal has been the part of the social web that has succeeded best, empowering and enriching the lives of many people who aren’t privileged by geography, wealth, inheritance, social standing, or identity. While far from perfect, it’s inarguable that people of many less privileged groups have participated in the social web from the start, and have been able to impact the world around them, and that counts for a lot."<br />

<br />
=="Freedom requires infrastructure==<br />
<br />
A man who has no tools to acquire his necessities of life is a slave to<br />
his necessities. Given those tools, he becomes a slave to the labour<br />
required to fruitfully use them. Only by transcending each difficulty as<br />
it comes, in a process not dissimilar to metasystem transitions, can the<br />
individual achieve freedom.<br />
<br />
Similarly, if at any point the individual becomes removed from the<br />
infrastructure that allows him any of the previous metasystem<br />
transitions, then he becomes a slave to those who control that infrastructure."<br />

<br />
<br />
==Tools for concentrated power vs. tools for diffuse power==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''"There are tools, technologies and discourses which favour diffuse power, and tools, technologies and discourses which favour concentrated power.''' Today the concentrated power mechanisms have the upper hand. All it would take to turn the tide is for the diffuse power mechanisms to gain the upper hand. I’d speculate that diffuse power mechanisms may have gained the upper hand in some fields in the 1960s-70s, and only the recomposition of capitalism as neoliberalism (with new technologies and discourses) saved it at this point (e.g. states were losing guerrilla wars to popular forces across the board in this period). If diffuse power retained the upper hand then any authoritarian regime created on the backs of diffuse power would itself be vulnerable to a reactivation of diffuse power."<br />
<br />
- Andy Robinson [http://ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/in-theory-bakunin-2/]<br />
<br />
<br />
==The ambivalence of technology==<br />
<br />
<br />
"Imagine "change" not as a chain of steps (one after another, as the chain of production), but think of change as an an eco-system of spheres where there is not starting point but spheres that interact and depend one to the other. As production goes from a chain of production to the eco-systemic forms of online creation communities or peer production, the same happen to the change of the system. I think we have to be open to the idea of starting the change from the diverse spheres and see how they affect to each other, instead of trying to draft first a starting line. Furthermore, the tools have ambivalences, they open possibilities of freedom at a time that they open possibilities of control and exploitation. Dealing with that ambivalence is very difficult (there is not right fix solutions one for all situations; which it is a pity, because it would be easier just to believe fervently in a solution and stick to it centuries after centuries); but I think it would be a mistake to loose the opportunities of entering in to the eco-system of change though finding a way in the ambivalence. We need to learn to put the ambivalence in the side of the principles we defend, more than searching situations in which there is not."<br />

=Introduction=<br />
<br />
There are four main forces arrayed against a future network of free and open data [http://www.acceler8or.com/tags/p2p-foundation/].<br />
<br />
* Content providers want to insure that their every product is not only the only thing you are allowed access to, but that you only access it in ways that insure that you pay for the privilege.<br />
<br />
* Data miners want your every move online to be traceable, your every desire at their fingertips, so they can sell you stuff.<br />
<br />
* The networks want every bit you access metered, measured, and your every transaction subject to scrutiny and control.<br />
<br />
* Various “elites” want to control what you think, what you say, and what you do, all to insure that you will never be a threat to their “power”<br />

"'''Instead of further going down the corporate lane of Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook, I propose to go back to the original architecture of Internet as public infrastructure with decentralized nodes. It may be romantic to insist on the distributed nature of networks but it is a necessary political demand. Net criticism is a toothless project without a utopian dimension. Even if internet itself had a military origin in the Cold War, and is now dominated by equally destructive force of greedy venture capitalists, backed up by libertarian gurus. Let’s rethink the public sphere: another internet is possible'''!"<br />

=A Credo=<br />
<br />
* ... which could be ours as well, written by Markus Sabadello for the versionvega project [http://versionvega.com/vv/]:<br />
* ... that client-server architectures have become a dominant form of organization.<br />
* ... that the above is true in the world of information technologies as well as in real-life societies.<br />
* ... '''that the principle of these architectures - the flow of goods and information from the few to the many - has evolved not because it is the best solution to common problems, but because of a fundamental drive towards strict hierarchical control.'''<br />
* ... '''that many existing web applications, while promising to deliver open communication, self-fulfillment and creative liberation, do in fact serve to exploit as well as manipulate people's data and behavioral patterns.'''<br />
* ... that in recent years a strong development towards centralization of online services could be observed.<br />
* ... that this centralization tends to harm rather than make good use of the full potential of today's information technologies.<br />
* ... that insufficient privacy and freedom are only the most obvious of many problems inherent to today's client-server patterns.<br />
* ... that in human history an overflowing concentration of control and power has never been beneficial for the people.<br />
* ... '''that a peer-to-peer architecture can implement in better ways most applications that are currently designed in a client-server fashion'''.<br />
* ... that a peer-to-peer architecture furthermore gives rise to an entire new class of applications and possibilities.<br />

==The corporations won't do it==<br />
<br />
"Given currently available technology, we should all have cars that drive us around in absolute safety, leaving us to lounge in the back and sip champagne.<br />
<br />
We have all the hardware to do this — the video cameras, motion sensors and high powered computers — and we’ve had this technology for decades. So why don’t cars drive themselves? The answer is that we don’t have the software.<br />
<br />
This software will not be “owned” by corporations like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, who are mostly impeding technological progress. (Google supports efforts such as Linux via Android, but their AI code in Google Now, language translation and driverless cars are not built in an open way.) This software we need will be built by a global community, taking on problems too big for any one team to even understand. We should have been working together all along, but it is necessary now for the few big problems that remain."<br />

==THE VALUES THAT MAKE THE SOCIAL WEB REVOLUTIONARY==<br />
<br />
Anil Dash:<br />
<br />
* "A desire to improve and simplify the experience for writing and creating content online. This is probably the area that’s stagnated most until the recent crop of tools like Medium or Svbtle popped up, though there had been a few small improvements in more limited contexts where people carefully reduced the scale and scope of the messages being shared to 140 characters or a single photo or a simple, gestural “like”.<br />
<br />
* An understandable, but still geeky, desire to advance the “open web” in a decentralized architecture that mimics the early days of the Internet. Based on the success of early open technologies like email, this technological desire is a useful way of ensuring that new systems don’t simply become completely owned by corporate interests. Frequently accompanied by a preference open source software, this area of endeavor has been characterized by a constant flow of quixotically unsuccessful efforts (Diaspora, Open Social, etc.) but is recently ascendant again with the excitement around App.net.<br />
<br />
<br />
And the fundamental value which has given blogging and social media its moral grounding and its most significant impact:<br />
<br />
* The urge to make tools for communication and community more inclusive, more participatory and more democratic. To my surprise, this goal has been the part of the social web that has succeeded best, empowering and enriching the lives of many people who aren’t privileged by geography, wealth, inheritance, social standing, or identity. While far from perfect, it’s inarguable that people of many less privileged groups have participated in the social web from the start, and have been able to impact the world around them, and that counts for a lot."<br />

=="Freedom requires infrastructure==<br />
<br />
A man who has no tools to acquire his necessities of life is a slave to<br />
his necessities. Given those tools, he becomes a slave to the labour<br />
required to fruitfully use them. Only by transcending each difficulty as<br />
it comes, in a process not dissimilar to metasystem transitions, can the<br />
individual achieve freedom.<br />
<br />
Similarly, if at any point the individual becomes removed from the<br />
infrastructure that allows him any of the previous metasystem<br />
transitions, then he becomes a slave to those who control that infrastructure."<br />

<br />
==Tools for concentrated power vs. tools for diffuse power==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''"There are tools, technologies and discourses which favour diffuse power, and tools, technologies and discourses which favour concentrated power.''' Today the concentrated power mechanisms have the upper hand. All it would take to turn the tide is for the diffuse power mechanisms to gain the upper hand. I’d speculate that diffuse power mechanisms may have gained the upper hand in some fields in the 1960s-70s, and only the recomposition of capitalism as neoliberalism (with new technologies and discourses) saved it at this point (e.g. states were losing guerrilla wars to popular forces across the board in this period). If diffuse power retained the upper hand then any authoritarian regime created on the backs of diffuse power would itself be vulnerable to a reactivation of diffuse power."<br />
<br />
- Andy Robinson [http://ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/in-theory-bakunin-2/]<br />
<br />
<br />
==The ambivalence of technology==<br />
<br />
<br />
"Imagine "change" not as a chain of steps (one after another, as the chain of production), but think of change as an an eco-system of spheres where there is not starting point but spheres that interact and depend one to the other. As production goes from a chain of production to the eco-systemic forms of online creation communities or peer production, the same happen to the change of the system. I think we have to be open to the idea of starting the change from the diverse spheres and see how they affect to each other, instead of trying to draft first a starting line. Furthermore, the tools have ambivalences, they open possibilities of freedom at a time that they open possibilities of control and exploitation. Dealing with that ambivalence is very difficult (there is not right fix solutions one for all situations; which it is a pity, because it would be easier just to believe fervently in a solution and stick to it centuries after centuries); but I think it would be a mistake to loose the opportunities of entering in to the eco-system of change though finding a way in the ambivalence. We need to learn to put the ambivalence in the side of the principles we defend, more than searching situations in which there is not."<br />

=Introduction=<br />
<br />
There are four main forces arrayed against a future network of free and open data [http://www.acceler8or.com/tags/p2p-foundation/].<br />
<br />
* Content providers want to insure that their every product is not only the only thing you are allowed access to, but that you only access it in ways that insure that you pay for the privilege.<br />
<br />
* Data miners want your every move online to be traceable, your every desire at their fingertips, so they can sell you stuff.<br />
<br />
* The networks want every bit you access metered, measured, and your every transaction subject to scrutiny and control.<br />
<br />
* Various “elites” want to control what you think, what you say, and what you do, all to insure that you will never be a threat to their “power”<br />

#SIDE EVENTS [http://p2pfoundation.net/Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference#Side_Events]<br />
<br />
=Introduction=<br />
<br />
One of the most significant impediments to positive social change is the entrenched power of market-fundamentalism as an economic and political paradigm. The prevailing dogma is that only a scheme of individual self-interest, expansive individual property rights, market exchange and globalized free trade can advance human well-being. This view has increasingly been called into question as the predatory dynamics of the market economy became clear and as its threats to the biosphere have become more acute. <br />
<br />
<br />
ECONOMICS AND THE COMMON(S): FROM SEED FORM TO CORE PARADIGM seeks to open up some new vistas in politics, economics and culture by exploring the commons as an alternative worldview and provisioning system. A rich array of commons – in nature, cities, civic life, the Internet, and many other realms – are showing that commons can provide stable, equitable and ecologically benign alternatives to conventional markets. <br />
The Economics and the Commons Conference (ECC) will expand and empower this work by exploring the commons as a coherent field of inquiry and action. It will convene approximately 240 commoners -- researchers, practitioners and advocates from around the world -- to explore the relationship of conventional economics and the commons, showcase key actors and initiatives, and devise plans for moving the commons paradigm forward. Special care will be taken to avoid a “sectoralization” of commons discussion because we believe that a coherent “general narrative” of the commons nurtures global social change and applies across many different sectors of commoning.<br />
<br />
<br />
Among the questions to be asked: What core principles of commoning can be identified across different resource domains? What makes a commons so generative? In what circumstances can commons-based provisioning models substitute for conventional markets, or interact constructively with markets? How can the protection and re-creation of the commons be made an integrated part of productive processes? <br />
<br />
The Economics and the Commons Conference (ECC) will be hosted by the Heinrich Böll Foundation (hbf) in cooperation with the Commons Strategies Group, The Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation and Remix the Commons. The event will take place at the headquarters of hbf in Berlin from May 22 to 24, 2013. Optional side-events on topics such as communications strategies for the commons, governance of global commons, and others, will be held on May 21-22 and 25. <br />
<br />
<br />
=Goals of the Conference=<br />
<br />
<br />
The ECC seeks to show the breadth and feasibility of commons-based provisioning and forge a coherent narrative and analysis about it and the next steps for action. <br />
<br />
<br />
Substantive discussion at the conference will therefore focus on several key themes:<br />
* The commons as a way to move beyond conventional economics;<br />
* Alternative economic and provisioning models;<br />
* The transformations needed to move to a new type of economy.<br />
<br />
=Conference Streams=<br />
<br />
The conference will feature six separate Streams with plenary keynote talks and breakout sessions to probe issues in greater depth. The ECC and its Streams are designed to foster dialogue, collaboration, creative thinking and follow-up action, and not just “expert” presentations. The six Streams are:<br />
<br />
==1. Land and Nature==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream01.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
Throughout the world, neoliberal economic policies have had destructive effects, resulting both in the degradation of natural environments as well as reduction in fair access to shared resources. A parallel example of this can be well seen in the aggressive privatization of water systems in large metropolitan areas like Paris, Berlin and Naples, which has resulted in price increases, lower quality water, reduced access to water and less democratic control. Although a flourishing anti-privatization movement in both Europe and the Global South has arisen, much of this advocacy does not have the analytical and theoretical tools to push for a paradigm shift in the economic organization of our natural resources as a commons. This stream will bring together legal scholars, ecological economists and commons advocates to develop commons-based policies and models for governing shared natural resources, especially water and land. <br />

==2. Doing away with labor: Working and Caring in a World of Commons == <br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream02b.png|150px|right]]<br />
Currently, we witness two parallel phenomena: Global development policies cause the loss of use rights to the natural commons as the livelihood support system for an estimated two billion people. At the same time, an ecology of collaborative production is (re)emerging beyond markets, money and organizational hierarchies as we know them. The lines between production and consumption are becoming blurred by social practices, which are based on sharing and (indirect) reciprocity. These practices are providing innovative answers to the fundamental question of how to (re)produce our livelihoods. Yet, most of the time, they do neither recognize "the whole of work", which means to overcome the structural divisions between productive work and care work (education, health, eldercare, household level, etc.) nor do they reduce embedded gender imbalances in the performance of these activities. And yet, the emerging new patterns bear the potential for a historical transformation toward a model that we could term "(re)prosumption". It is a created term to combine two sides on a structural level: reproduction and production on the one hand and production and consumption on the other. It could provide alternatives to both, globalized capital(ism) and “national-developmentalism”, and to overcome structural causes of gender inequality and the markets externalization of care and nature services.<br />
These trends also point to the transcendence of the conditions that historically forced the division between social reproduction and economic production. <br />
While most unionists tend to focus on the labor market and a fair distribution of available employment in our world of today, the work of the future may no longer be a “product” that is bought and sold in the market, but it could be managed as a commons. This is the vision we wish to discuss and develop further. <br />

==3. Treating Knowledge, Culture and Science as Commons== <br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream03b.png|150px|right]]<br />
Science, and recently, free software, are paradigmatic knowledge commons; copyright and patent are paradigmatic enclosures. But our focus on paradigmatic examples and the language of “intellectual property” and “openness” may actually limit our imaginations about what might be possible. If we took the commons seriously, for example, we might begin to see that copyright and patent are not just knowledge enclosures, but “modern” ways of enforcing privileges and inequalities in what may be known and communicated. Similarly, that open access and use is not necessarily an emancipation, but rather a shift in control to those who own the digital platform. This Stream will attempt to (re)consider and (re)conceptualize the free/libre/open/commons movements from a strategic and commons-first perspective. <br />

<br />
==4. Money, Markets, Value and the Commons==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream04.png|150px|right]]<br />
The dominant economy is to a huge extent market-fundamentalist and money driven. It is built around unsustainable principles like extraction, competition, profit and exponential growth and fueled by interest bearing credit creation through a profit oriented banking system. A Commons Economy is driven by other motives and proposes a different mindset and different ordering categories than capital, ownership and money. Some commoners tend to imagine a Commons Economy as a world beyond (artificial) scarcity, rendering money and markets irrelevant, which suggests, that commons can function without money as we know it. Others focus on redefining the role of money or how to design money itself as a commons. But all agree that if a Commons Economy still has credit, money and markets (or at least marketplaces), they will be very different in character than our current economy. <br />
<br />
The objective of this Stream is to integrate the different “paths of imagination” towards a Commons Economy, and to get a clearer picture of the architecture and underlying design principles of a commons-oriented market places and exchange systems. <br />

==5. New Infrastructures for Commoning by Design ==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream05b.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
One of the main challenges in advancing commons as a stable paradigm is finding ways to develop commons-friendly infrastructures. We lack infrastructures that “by design” foster and protect new practices of commoning. Many existing systems, indeed, enable commons-unfriendly practices (e.g. fossil fuel-based individual transportation) or generate negative social and environmental impacts (e.g., nuclear power and even “clean” energy sources). While some infrastructures have progressive dimensions (using distributed networks, promoting local access), they may be minor parts of larger, regressive infrastructures that still depend upon individual transportation, centralized power grids and concentrated industrial structures. Yet there are important lessons to be learned from commons-based infrastructures such as Internet protocols, which have fostered the emergence of countless digital information commons. An urgent need of our time is to ensure that infrastructures will systematically encourage the formation and protection of commons. <br />

=Conference Organizers=<br />
<br />
The [[Commons Strategies Group]] and [[Heinrich Böll Foundation]] [http://www.boell.de/foundation/about-us.html] are the joint organizers of this conference, which is an outgrowth of the landmark [[International Commons Conference]] (ICC) in Berlin in November 2010. That event brought together about 180 commons activists, academics and project leaders from 34 countries, and started a cross-disciplinary political and policy dialogue about the commons in diverse international settings. <br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation]] supported the International Commons Conference in 2010 as well.<br />

|-<br />
| width="45%" |<br />
'''We function as a clearinghouse for open/free, participatory/p2p and commons-oriented initiatives.'''<br />
<br />
We aim to be a pluralist network to document, research, and promote peer to peer alternatives. Our political aims could be summarized under the following maxims: <br />
# ending the destruction of the biosphere by abandoning the dangerous conceptions of pseudo-abundance in the natural world (i.e. based on the assumption that natural resources are infinite); <br />
# promoting free cultural exchange by abandoning the innovation-inhibiting conceptions of pseudo-scarcity in the cultural world (i.e. based on the assumption that the free flow of culture needs to be restricted through excessive copyrights etc...).<br />

<br />
=Introduction=<br />
<br />
One of the most significant impediments to positive social change is the entrenched power of market-fundamentalism as an economic and political paradigm. The prevailing dogma is that only a scheme of individual self-interest, expansive individual property rights, market exchange and globalized free trade can advance human well-being. This view has increasingly been called into question as the predatory dynamics of the market economy became clear and as its threats to the biosphere have become more acute. <br />
<br />
<br />
ECONOMICS AND THE COMMON(S): FROM SEED FORM TO CORE PARADIGM seeks to open up some new vistas in politics, economics and culture by exploring the commons as an alternative worldview and provisioning system. A rich array of commons – in nature, cities, civic life, the Internet, and many other realms – are showing that commons can provide stable, equitable and ecologically benign alternatives to conventional markets. <br />
The Economics and the Commons Conference (ECC) will expand and empower this work by exploring the commons as a coherent field of inquiry and action. It will convene approximately 240 commoners -- researchers, practitioners and advocates from around the world -- to explore the relationship of conventional economics and the commons, showcase key actors and initiatives, and devise plans for moving the commons paradigm forward. Special care will be taken to avoid a “sectoralization” of commons discussion because we believe that a coherent “general narrative” of the commons nurtures global social change and applies across many different sectors of commoning.<br />
<br />
<br />
Among the questions to be asked: What core principles of commoning can be identified across different resource domains? What makes a commons so generative? In what circumstances can commons-based provisioning models substitute for conventional markets, or interact constructively with markets? How can the protection and re-creation of the commons be made an integrated part of productive processes? <br />
<br />
The Economics and the Commons Conference (ECC) will be hosted by the Heinrich Böll Foundation (hbf) in cooperation with the Commons Strategies Group, The Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation and Remix the Commons. The event will take place at the headquarters of hbf in Berlin from May 22 to 24, 2013. Optional side-events on topics such as communications strategies for the commons, governance of global commons, and others, will be held on May 21-22 and 25. <br />
<br />
<br />
=Goals of the Conference=<br />
<br />
<br />
The ECC seeks to show the breadth and feasibility of commons-based provisioning and forge a coherent narrative and analysis about it and the next steps for action. <br />
<br />
<br />
Substantive discussion at the conference will therefore focus on several key themes:<br />
* The commons as a way to move beyond conventional economics;<br />
* Alternative economic and provisioning models;<br />
* The transformations needed to move to a new type of economy.<br />
<br />
=Conference Streams=<br />
<br />
The conference will feature six separate Streams with plenary keynote talks and breakout sessions to probe issues in greater depth. The ECC and its Streams are designed to foster dialogue, collaboration, creative thinking and follow-up action, and not just “expert” presentations. The six Streams are:<br />
<br />
==1. Land and Nature==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream01.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
Throughout the world, neoliberal economic policies have had destructive effects, resulting both in the degradation of natural environments as well as reduction in fair access to shared resources. A parallel example of this can be well seen in the aggressive privatization of water systems in large metropolitan areas like Paris, Berlin and Naples, which has resulted in price increases, lower quality water, reduced access to water and less democratic control. Although a flourishing anti-privatization movement in both Europe and the Global South has arisen, much of this advocacy does not have the analytical and theoretical tools to push for a paradigm shift in the economic organization of our natural resources as a commons. This stream will bring together legal scholars, ecological economists and commons advocates to develop commons-based policies and models for governing shared natural resources, especially water and land. <br />

<br />
==2. Doing away with labor: Working and Caring in a World of Commons == <br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream02b.png|150px|right]]<br />
Currently, we witness two parallel phenomena: Global development policies cause the loss of use rights to the natural commons as the livelihood support system for an estimated two billion people. At the same time, an ecology of collaborative production is (re)emerging beyond markets, money and organizational hierarchies as we know them. The lines between production and consumption are becoming blurred by social practices, which are based on sharing and (indirect) reciprocity. These practices are providing innovative answers to the fundamental question of how to (re)produce our livelihoods. Yet, most of the time, they do neither recognize "the whole of work", which means to overcome the structural divisions between productive work and care work (education, health, eldercare, household level, etc.) nor do they reduce embedded gender imbalances in the performance of these activities. And yet, the emerging new patterns bear the potential for a historical transformation toward a model that we could term "(re)prosumption". It is a created term to combine two sides on a structural level: reproduction and production on the one hand and production and consumption on the other. It could provide alternatives to both, globalized capital(ism) and “national-developmentalism”, and to overcome structural causes of gender inequality and the markets externalization of care and nature services.<br />
These trends also point to the transcendence of the conditions that historically forced the division between social reproduction and economic production. <br />
While most unionists tend to focus on the labor market and a fair distribution of available employment in our world of today, the work of the future may no longer be a “product” that is bought and sold in the market, but it could be managed as a commons. This is the vision we wish to discuss and develop further. <br />

==3. Treating Knowledge, Culture and Science as Commons== <br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream03b.png|150px|right]]<br />
Science, and recently, free software, are paradigmatic knowledge commons; copyright and patent are paradigmatic enclosures. But our focus on paradigmatic examples and the language of “intellectual property” and “openness” may actually limit our imaginations about what might be possible. If we took the commons seriously, for example, we might begin to see that copyright and patent are not just knowledge enclosures, but “modern” ways of enforcing privileges and inequalities in what may be known and communicated. Similarly, that open access and use is not necessarily an emancipation, but rather a shift in control to those who own the digital platform. This Stream will attempt to (re)consider and (re)conceptualize the free/libre/open/commons movements from a strategic and commons-first perspective. <br />

<br />
==4. Money, Markets, Value and the Commons==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream04.png|150px|right]]<br />
The dominant economy is to a huge extent market-fundamentalist and money driven. It is built around unsustainable principles like extraction, competition, profit and exponential growth and fueled by interest bearing credit creation through a profit oriented banking system. A Commons Economy is driven by other motives and proposes a different mindset and different ordering categories than capital, ownership and money. Some commoners tend to imagine a Commons Economy as a world beyond (artificial) scarcity, rendering money and markets irrelevant, which suggests, that commons can function without money as we know it. Others focus on redefining the role of money or how to design money itself as a commons. But all agree that if a Commons Economy still has credit, money and markets (or at least marketplaces), they will be very different in character than our current economy. <br />
<br />
The objective of this Stream is to integrate the different “paths of imagination” towards a Commons Economy, and to get a clearer picture of the architecture and underlying design principles of a commons-oriented market places and exchange systems. <br />

==5. New Infrastructures for Commoning by Design ==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream05b.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
One of the main challenges in advancing commons as a stable paradigm is finding ways to develop commons-friendly infrastructures. We lack infrastructures that “by design” foster and protect new practices of commoning. Many existing systems, indeed, enable commons-unfriendly practices (e.g. fossil fuel-based individual transportation) or generate negative social and environmental impacts (e.g., nuclear power and even “clean” energy sources). While some infrastructures have progressive dimensions (using distributed networks, promoting local access), they may be minor parts of larger, regressive infrastructures that still depend upon individual transportation, centralized power grids and concentrated industrial structures. Yet there are important lessons to be learned from commons-based infrastructures such as Internet protocols, which have fostered the emergence of countless digital information commons. An urgent need of our time is to ensure that infrastructures will systematically encourage the formation and protection of commons. <br />

=Conference Organizers=<br />
<br />
The [[Commons Strategies Group]] and [[Heinrich Böll Foundation]] [http://www.boell.de/foundation/about-us.html] are the joint organizers of this conference, which is an outgrowth of the landmark [[International Commons Conference]] (ICC) in Berlin in November 2010. That event brought together about 180 commons activists, academics and project leaders from 34 countries, and started a cross-disciplinary political and policy dialogue about the commons in diverse international settings. <br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation]] supported the International Commons Conference in 2010 as well.<br />

The objective of this Stream is to integrate the different “paths of imagination” towards a Commons Economy, and to get a clearer picture of the architecture and underlying design principles of a commons-oriented market places and exchange systems. <br />

==5. New Infrastructures for Commoning by Design ==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream05.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
One of the main challenges in advancing commons as a stable paradigm is finding ways to develop commons-friendly infrastructures. We lack infrastructures that “by design” foster and protect new practices of commoning. Many existing systems, indeed, enable commons-unfriendly practices (e.g. fossil fuel-based individual transportation) or generate negative social and environmental impacts (e.g., nuclear power and even “clean” energy sources). While some infrastructures have progressive dimensions (using distributed networks, promoting local access), they may be minor parts of larger, regressive infrastructures that still depend upon individual transportation, centralized power grids and concentrated industrial structures. Yet there are important lessons to be learned from commons-based infrastructures such as Internet protocols, which have fostered the emergence of countless digital information commons. An urgent need of our time is to ensure that infrastructures will systematically encourage the formation and protection of commons. <br />

<br />
The [[Commons Strategies Group]] and [[Heinrich Böll Foundation]] [http://www.boell.de/foundation/about-us.html] are the joint organizers of this conference, which is an outgrowth of the landmark [[International Commons Conference]] (ICC) in Berlin in November 2010. That event brought together about 180 commons activists, academics and project leaders from 34 countries, and started a cross-disciplinary political and policy dialogue about the commons in diverse international settings. <br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation]] supported the International Commons Conference in 2010 as well.<br />

<div>'''Side-Event to the [[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC).'''<br />
== Concept ==<br />
Workshop of 25 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

== Objectives ==<br />
Some general objectives of the workshop:<br />
# Share and communicate what already exist in the field of communication and education of the Commons <br />
# Produce and enrich the community with new languages/processes,methods. Animate and engage the commoners identity<br />
# Provide a creative environment to come out with new projects, ideas and alliances to work in the commons communication future improvement<br />

=== Invitation to participants ===<br />
<code><br />
Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

== Dissemination ==<br />
=== Invitation to participants ===<br />
<code><br />
Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

<div>'''Side-Event to the [[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC).'''<br />
<br />
=Concept=<br />
<br />
'''Working Title''': '''"Public Health, Seeds, Open Knowledge and Clean Tech: A Common(s) Pathway? - Discussing a Commons-based Knowledge Transfer and Innovation System"'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Idea''': Publicly funded research plays the key role in generating solutions to tackle major societal challenges – in health, food, green technologies, culture & arts, and other sectors. Yet within the current innovation and technology transfer paradigm, these inventions often do not reach their full potential to serve the public good. The current model of commercialization tends to entail restricted access to the fruits of public investment, lack of transparency, and monopolies - classical consequences of the enclosure of the (knowledge) commons.<br />
<br />
Increasingly, initiatives are seeking ways to make publicly generated knowledge available for the greater common good. The “Open Access” movement is gaining momentum in the battle for access to knowledge.<br />
But intellectual property rights, for example patents, still constitute the basis for private commercial exploitation of knowledge. More public awareness and new civil society alliances are desperately needed, not only to reclaim the (knowledge) commons, but to co-develop frameworks, tools and legal mechanisms to protect them.<br />
<br />
Different initiatives around the world currently struggle to "save our seeds" (as commons), achieve better “access to medicines” or disseminate “green technologies”, amongst others. These movements have independently started to design and to establish legal mechanisms and policy concepts that could foster the general availability of public innovations and protect them from re-appropriation. For instance, the "Free Software" and "Free Culture" movements protected software and content via the “Copyleft” mechanism.<br />
<br />
We believe that all of these movements could benefit greatly from a joint analysis, an exchange of good practice and lessons learnt, and a debate on future strategies.<br />

=Introduction=<br />
<br />
One of the most significant impediments to positive social change is the entrenched power of market-fundamentalism as an economic and political paradigm. The prevailing dogma is that only a scheme of individual self-interest, expansive individual property rights, market exchange and globalized free trade can advance human well-being. This view has increasingly been called into question as the predatory dynamics of the market economy became clear and as its threats to the biosphere have become more acute. <br />
<br />
<br />
ECONOMICS AND THE COMMON(S): FROM SEED FORM TO CORE PARADIGM seeks to open up some new vistas in politics, economics and culture by exploring the commons as an alternative worldview and provisioning system. A rich array of commons – in nature, cities, civic life, the Internet, and many other realms – are showing that commons can provide stable, equitable and ecologically benign alternatives to conventional markets. <br />
The Economics and the Commons Conference (ECC) will expand and empower this work by exploring the commons as a coherent field of inquiry and action. It will convene approximately 240 commoners -- researchers, practitioners and advocates from around the world -- to explore the relationship of conventional economics and the commons, showcase key actors and initiatives, and devise plans for moving the commons paradigm forward. Special care will be taken to avoid a “sectoralization” of commons discussion because we believe that a coherent “general narrative” of the commons nurtures global social change and applies across many different sectors of commoning.<br />
<br />
<br />
Among the questions to be asked: What core principles of commoning can be identified across different resource domains? What makes a commons so generative? In what circumstances can commons-based provisioning models substitute for conventional markets, or interact constructively with markets? How can the protection and re-creation of the commons be made an integrated part of productive processes? <br />
<br />
The Economics and the Commons Conference (ECC) will be hosted by the Heinrich Böll Foundation (hbf) in cooperation with the Commons Strategies Group, The Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation and Remix the Commons. The event will take place at the headquarters of hbf in Berlin from May 22 to 24, 2013. Optional side-events on topics such as communications strategies for the commons, governance of global commons, and others, will be held on May 21-22 and 25. <br />
<br />
<br />
=Goals of the Conference=<br />
<br />
<br />
The ECC seeks to show the breadth and feasibility of commons-based provisioning and forge a coherent narrative and analysis about it and the next steps for action. <br />
<br />
<br />
Substantive discussion at the conference will therefore focus on several key themes:<br />
* The commons as a way to move beyond conventional economics;<br />
* Alternative economic and provisioning models;<br />
* The transformations needed to move to a new type of economy.<br />
<br />
=Conference Streams=<br />
<br />
The conference will feature six separate Streams with plenary keynote talks and breakout sessions to probe issues in greater depth. The ECC and its Streams are designed to foster dialogue, collaboration, creative thinking and follow-up action, and not just “expert” presentations. The six Streams are:<br />
<br />
==1. Land and Nature==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream01.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
Throughout the world, neoliberal economic policies have had destructive effects, resulting both in the degradation of natural environments as well as reduction in fair access to shared resources. A parallel example of this can be well seen in the aggressive privatization of water systems in large metropolitan areas like Paris, Berlin and Naples, which has resulted in price increases, lower quality water, reduced access to water and less democratic control. Although a flourishing anti-privatization movement in both Europe and the Global South has arisen, much of this advocacy does not have the analytical and theoretical tools to push for a paradigm shift in the economic organization of our natural resources as a commons. This stream will bring together legal scholars, ecological economists and commons advocates to develop commons-based policies and models for governing shared natural resources, especially water and land. <br />

<br />
==2. Doing away with labor: Working and Caring in a World of Commons == <br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream02b.png|150px|right]]<br />
Currently, we witness two parallel phenomena: Global development policies cause the loss of use rights to the natural commons as the livelihood support system for an estimated two billion people. At the same time, an ecology of collaborative production is (re)emerging beyond markets, money and organizational hierarchies as we know them. The lines between production and consumption are becoming blurred by social practices, which are based on sharing and (indirect) reciprocity. These practices are providing innovative answers to the fundamental question of how to (re)produce our livelihoods. Yet, most of the time, they do neither recognize "the whole of work", which means to overcome the structural divisions between productive work and care work (education, health, eldercare, household level, etc.) nor do they reduce embedded gender imbalances in the performance of these activities. And yet, the emerging new patterns bear the potential for a historical transformation toward a model that we could term "(re)prosumption". It is a created term to combine two sides on a structural level: reproduction and production on the one hand and production and consumption on the other. It could provide alternatives to both, globalized capital(ism) and “national-developmentalism”, and to overcome structural causes of gender inequality and the markets externalization of care and nature services.<br />
These trends also point to the transcendence of the conditions that historically forced the division between social reproduction and economic production. <br />
While most unionists tend to focus on the labor market and a fair distribution of available employment in our world of today, the work of the future may no longer be a “product” that is bought and sold in the market, but it could be managed as a commons. This is the vision we wish to discuss and develop further. <br />

==3. Treating Knowledge, Culture and Science as Commons== <br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream03.png|150px|right]]<br />
Science, and recently, free software, are paradigmatic knowledge commons; copyright and patent are paradigmatic enclosures. But our focus on paradigmatic examples and the language of “intellectual property” and “openness” may actually limit our imaginations about what might be possible. If we took the commons seriously, for example, we might begin to see that copyright and patent are not just knowledge enclosures, but “modern” ways of enforcing privileges and inequalities in what may be known and communicated. Similarly, that open access and use is not necessarily an emancipation, but rather a shift in control to those who own the digital platform. This Stream will attempt to (re)consider and (re)conceptualize the free/libre/open/commons movements from a strategic and commons-first perspective. <br />

<br />
==4. Money, Markets, Value and the Commons==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream04.png|150px|right]]<br />
The dominant economy is to a huge extent market-fundamentalist and money driven. It is built around unsustainable principles like extraction, competition, profit and exponential growth and fueled by interest bearing credit creation through a profit oriented banking system. A Commons Economy is driven by other motives and proposes a different mindset and different ordering categories than capital, ownership and money. Some commoners tend to imagine a Commons Economy as a world beyond (artificial) scarcity, rendering money and markets irrelevant, which suggests, that commons can function without money as we know it. Others focus on redefining the role of money or how to design money itself as a commons. But all agree that if a Commons Economy still has credit, money and markets (or at least marketplaces), they will be very different in character than our current economy. <br />
<br />
The objective of this Stream is to integrate the different “paths of imagination” towards a Commons Economy, and to get a clearer picture of the architecture and underlying design principles of a commons-oriented market places and exchange systems. <br />

==5. New Infrastructures for Commoning by Design ==<br />
[[Image:ECC2013-Stream05.png|150px|right]]<br />
<br />
One of the main challenges in advancing commons as a stable paradigm is finding ways to develop commons-friendly infrastructures. We lack infrastructures that “by design” foster and protect new practices of commoning. Many existing systems, indeed, enable commons-unfriendly practices (e.g. fossil fuel-based individual transportation) or generate negative social and environmental impacts (e.g., nuclear power and even “clean” energy sources). While some infrastructures have progressive dimensions (using distributed networks, promoting local access), they may be minor parts of larger, regressive infrastructures that still depend upon individual transportation, centralized power grids and concentrated industrial structures. Yet there are important lessons to be learned from commons-based infrastructures such as Internet protocols, which have fostered the emergence of countless digital information commons. An urgent need of our time is to ensure that infrastructures will systematically encourage the formation and protection of commons. <br />

The [[Commons Strategies Group]] and [[Heinrich Böll Foundation]] [http://www.boell.de/foundation/about-us.html] are the joint organizers of this conference, which is an outgrowth of the landmark [[International Commons Conference]] (ICC) in Berlin in November 2010. That event brought together about 180 commons activists, academics and project leaders from 34 countries, and started a cross-disciplinary political and policy dialogue about the commons in diverse international settings. <br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation]] supported the International Commons Conference in 2010 as well.<br />

<div>'''Side-Event to the [[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC).'''<br />
== Concept ==<br />
Workshop of 25 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

=== Invitation to participants ===<br />
<code><br />
Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

<div>Kai Ehlers (1944) ist selbstständiger Forscher, Publizist und Buchautor. Der Schwerpunkt seiner Arbeit liegt auf den Wandlungen im nachsowjetischen Raum und deren lokalen wie auch globalen Folgen, denen er durch Untersuchungen, Gespräche und Aktivitäten vor Ort nachgeht. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Forschungen stehen Geschichte und heutige Transformation der russisch-eurasischen Gemeinschaftskultur (einschließlich Mongolei) vor, in und nach deren Verstaatlichung in der Sowjetunion sowie deren ethnische und mythische Wurzeln. <br />
In Deutschland engagiert er sich in der Debatte um gesellschaftliche Alternativen, insbesondere die aktuellen Fragen von Demokratie, Gemeinschaft, Allmende. Sein besonderes Anliegen ist, die historischen Erfahrungen aus der russisch-sowjetischen-eurasischen Gemeinschaftskultur und deren aktuelle Transformationsimpulse in die sich entwickelnde Allmendedebatte einzubringen. <br />
<br />
Eine der Fragen, zu denen er darüber hinaus arbeitet, ist übrigens die Eröffnung eines interdisziplinären Kulturdialoges zu den unbekannten und unterdrückten Teilen des gemeinsamen historischen, epischen und mythologischen eurasischen Kosmos. <br />

<br />
Kai Ehlers (*1944) is independent researcher, writer and author of books. The focus of his work lies in post-soviet changes and their local as well as global consequences, which he studies by expeditions through the former soviet part of the word, talking to people and being involved in local activities. The focus of his research studies lies on history and today’s transformation of Russian-Eurasian commons culture (including Mongolia) before, during and after it was overtaken by the soviet state. Following this researches he is engaged in developing social alternatives to today’s form of globalisation, especially in questions of democracy, community, commons in Germany and in general.<br />
His special matter of concern today is to connect the historical experiences of Soviet-Eurasian commons culture and it`s actual impulses of transformation with the rising of general commons movement. <br />
<br />
One of the questions, to which he is working moreover, is the opening of an interdisciplinary cultural dialogue about the unknown and repressed parts of the common Eurasian historical, epical, mythological cosmos.<br />

<div>== Concept ==<br />
<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

<div>== Concept ==<br />
<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

=== Invitation to participants ===<br />
<code><br />
Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

<code><br />
Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

== Concept ==<br />
<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

<code><br />
Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

Dear XXXX,<br />
<br />
We are members of the organization and support teams of the ECC 2013, a gathering to which you were recently invited and that promises to be amazing to commoners like you and us. The ECC will start on 22nd May. <br />
<br />
Before that some side events will take place in Berlin. We would like to invite you to a workshop called Commons Culture Communications that would bring together some 20 persons from around the world to discuss and sketch out future communication and education projects to do with the commons concept and practices. This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

== Concept ==<br />
<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

This invitation is to participate in a horizontal meeting of commoners, artists, filmmakers, advocates of alternative communication ideas and others. We think that it is crucial to start to collectively imagine better communication strategies to promote the commons ideas around the globe and to do this in the commons-way: avoiding external solutions and promoting initiatives built by the rich and diverse commons international community.<br />
<br />
The Commons Culture Communications workshop will take place in BetaHouse from Tuesday 21st at noon and will end on Wednesday 22nd in the morning. The schedule is quite open, organised into 4 different thematic sessions, since we want to actively engage the participants. You can see the proposed agenda and methodology here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons_Culture_Communications_-_2013<br />
<br />
We would very much like you to participate in this meeting. If you are willing to do so, please give us a reply as soon as possible and consider the changes that this may imply in your travel arrangements and schedule.<br />
All the best and hoping to see you soon. <br />

== Concept ==<br />
<br />
Side-Event to the „[[Economics of the Commons Conference]] – From Seed Form to Core Paradigm” (ECC), for further information on ECC see: [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference]]<br />
<br />
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the [[Commons]] paradigm, practice and Cultures of Commoning.<br />
<br />
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards the commons movement in order to enhance the movement's collective consciousness, intelligence, and capabilities and towards a broader public in order to inform people and hopefully convince them that another way of seing and doing things already exists here and now.<br />
<br />
Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:<br />
* Collaborative and distributed documentary film: <br />
*: During the last [[Latin America Commons Deep Dive]], some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were [[Remix the Commons]] (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forbidden_Education The Forbidden Education] (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time). <br />
* Open Educational Resources about the commons:<br />
*: While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks <br />
* Communication strategies:<br />
*: what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?<br />
*: Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?<br />
*: How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)<br />
* Forming a "commons curation commons"?<br />
*: One of the suggested agenda items is that we identify and develop the conditions for the coordinated curation of directly commons-related news, events, literature, initiatives, reflected in all media, as they emerge.<br />
*: Curation is more than compiling lists of URLs of interesting stuff we come across. It's also about indexing, tagging, and annotating them The best work done so far is by Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation team. However their inclusion criteria is much broader than the commons, and with the rapid development of global ecosystem of commons-focused initiatives, no one group can keep up with the task. It requires the coordinated effort of all of us, who feel called to contribute to the collective intelligence and consciousness of the commons movement.<br />
*: Curation is also about making relevant knowledge more actionable, by organizing it so that it is extremely easy to call into live conversation, from anywhere, anytime, using any device. It requires well-coordinated collective action, by a curation team.... possibly, a commons curation commons.

== Methodology ==<br />
The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and experiment ways of working together as commoners. It is important that the methods and processes we are using when we come together to exchange, reflect and collaborate about the commons are also part of this new/old paradigm bringing us back into our fuller humanity. This means being together in circle again, as people, rather than looking at the back of each others heads. This means allowing space for collective intelligence and wisdom to flow and generative conversations to take place. This is another break with the ways of functioning we are familiar with, stepping into more empowering, democratic ways of working, coherent with the spirit of the commons movement. Throughout this session, we will live a variety of such methodologies and practices. <br />

== Money, Markets, Value and the Commons - detailed stream description (DRAFT) ==<br />
<br />
Working page for the money, markets and value stream of the [[ECC2013|Economics and the Commons Conference]]. <br />
<br />
Please read, view, and feel free to [[Overview_of_the_Economics_of_the_Commons_Conference?title=ECC2013&action=edit|edit]], [[Talk:ECC2013/Money_Stream|comment]], add to the list of stream recommended readings and viewings (at the end of this page), or contact the stream coordinator ([[User:Ludwig|Ludwig Schuster]]) as appropriate. <br />
<br />
A stream forum for real time discussions is available on the [http://commonsandeconomics.org/groups/stream-4-money-markets-and-value.%20 conference communications site].<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
Money, markets, and value are some of the core-categories of today's capitalist societies. They come with specific meanings, forms and interpretations which are reflected in and at the same time give shape to socio-economic and cultural contexts. <br />
<br />
This stream shall deal with the question what happens if these specific forms are (deliberately) changed. Do we need money in an economy of the Commons? If yes, how would that money need to be designed and who should control it? If no, how could a demonitised society look like? And perhaps most importantly, how can the phase of transition be envisioned? In this stream light shall be shed on the different standpoints and the reasonings behind them in order to reach a more clear-cut view and to find some common route in this extremely wide and controversial, yet highly important field. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Motivation ===<br />
<br />
The diverse strategies and attitudes towards money, markets and value in a Commons economy should be considered, mutually understood and brought together respectfully, to unify our forces for a co-creation of the Commons. Therefore we see a great chance in increasing the understanding of, and building bridges between...<br />
<br />
==== ...the two main lines in challenging the monetary logic of the old economy: ====<br />
<br />
a) questioning the '''inherent market logic''' of money (mediated exchange, commodification, prices)<br />
<br />
b) questioning the '''capitalist principles''' inherent in money (extraction, accumulation, exclusion);<br />
<br />
==== ...the three major schools of thought regarding the relation between money and Commons, and their specific lines of argumentation: ====<br />
<br />
1.) '''demonetize:''' organize the commons economy without money (see for instance http://demonetize.it/) - how are the functions of money and finance replaced? Can non-monetary approaches and the existing monetary economy stand side-by-side or play complementary roles on the path towards an Economy of the Commons? How could both be integrated in everyday life?<br />
<br />
2.) '''commons-creating / commons-supportive / commons-protecting money:''' design money specifically to support, sustain and protect the commons, allowing for new forms of allocation within the commons - how is the problem of the 'market logic' dealt with in this case? Is it necessary to get rid of the capitalist principles or could they just be "turned around" so that they become commons-supportive?<br />
<br />
3.) '''money and markets as a commons:''' understand money itself as a commons and design it accordingly - How can money be democratically created and controlled? Is that a necessary or sufficient condition for a commons oriented economy, and what changes and risks would that bring about?<br />
<br />
The different schools of thought point to differing visions about a future society. However, they might turn out not to be mutually exclusive, but support each other depending on the circumstances. Each approach may be valuable in a differently distant future, or in a different phase of transition.<br />
<br />
=== Objective ===<br />
<br />
The objective of this stream is <br />
<br />
* to mutually enlighten us if, why, and how the role of money needs to be abolished [annulled?], redefined or redesigned in our times, opening questions which changes would be most important from a commons perspective<br />
<br />
* to reflect upon the main schools of thought within the commons debate and gather a mutual understanding for both monetary and non-monetary approaches<br />
<br />
* to explore the core question of values and value in a (money/credit/finance) commons<br />
<br />
* reflect about the chances and risks of using money as a tool, and about the positive as well as negative features of such an approach as compared to the non-monetary / demonetizing approach<br />
<br />
* and to consider how thinking about money in the commons / as a commons changes our perspectives and opens up new policy & project possibilities.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Questions to be dicussed ... ====<br />
<br />
*''' does the existing monetary order leave room for the development of a commons economy?'''<br />
<br />
:* how would a commons economy challenge and change the internal logic of the existing capitalist monetary system (extraction, accumulation, exclusion, fetishisation)? Thesis: monetary order is a mirror of the property order.<br />
<br />
*''' can money be commonified?'''<br />
<br />
:* Can the 'logic of the Commons' be synchronised with the 'logic of money' such that they are mutually supportive? What problems are to be considered where the respective logics are in conflict? How would different types of money affect the success of the Commons? How could the Commons to reshape existing and future concepts of money?<br />
<br />
:* how would a "decoupling of giving and taking" (indirect reprocity / no reprocity; do-it-together-economy, e.g. open source software development) change money's functions and face?<br />
<br />
:* how could the idea of "recoupling ownership and use" (collectively owned and shared assets, usage rights, instead of ownership and rents, ownership debate) be adapted to the monetary world? Who would (or should) "own" money, credit and markets?<br />
<br />
*''' How could alternatives look like?'''<br />
<br />
:* Does a Commons Economy need credit, finance and banks? If yes, in what form, and in whose hands?<br />
<br />
:* Are there any blueprints in the alternative money field? (Bitcoin, FreiCoin, local currencies...?)<br />
<br />
:* And what about the role of new technologies in the creation / management of non-state-controled money? (bridge to open source / software / knowledge commons debate)<br />
<br />
*''' How do we get from here to there? '''<br />
<br />
:* Assuming that, on the long run, an embedded commons system is imaginable which drives out money and markets, in what way can monetary reform proposals be relevant for the phase of the Transition and beyond? <br />
<br />
:* The terminology of the “old economy” could turn out to be a cultural limitation on our way to a Commons Economy. What needs to be done to overcome these semantic barriers? How would categories like capital, profit, or economic growth (need to) be reconsidered or redefined?<br />
<br />
:* How could the risk of "commonswashing" and cooptation by protagonists of the old economy be avoided?<br />
<br />
==== ... and questions not to be discussed here ====<br />
<br />
* '''no either-or-questions'''<br />
:* we are not going to discuss to the bone which solution is the one-and-only or best of all, but rather try to get a mutual understanding of the different approches and their possible role in a holistic scenario or strategy.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Methodology and Outcomes ===<br />
<br />
In the '''first breakout session (Fr 24 9:45-12 am)''' we discuss and try to synthesize the different perspectives to a holistic scenario of the Commons' economic framework and possible ways to get there.<br />
<br />
In the '''second session (Fr 24 2:30 - 5 pm)''' you are invited to help co-creating a “collaborative mental map” which ideally includes the variety of monetary (and non-monetary) approaches and tools, and their role within the scenario.<br />

=Introduction=<br />
<br />
== Motivation ==<br />
This stream challenges the deeply rooted mental coordinates on one fundamental question: How do we (re)produce our livelihoods? <br />
We therefore consider the stream´s thematic focus as structurally important and cross-cutting all other streams. It might seem difficult at first as we are using terminologies that do not necessarily mean the same thing to different people, which is further complicated by our multilingual conversations, with us sometimes be getting lost in translation. The stream therefore invests into building common ground in understanding the issues and terminology. <br />
<br />
Labor is predominantly understood and used as the term for paid work/employment or debt based labor. The labor term does not reflect the time spent in work (or human activity) that needs to be done before paid labor can even start. The majority of our human activity is nevertheless done in the sphere of social reproduction, which is also often referred to as care work. Yet, social reproduction entails more than caring for people, it also means work invested in the material reproduction of the household, often referred to as household reproduction. <br />
To recognize the “the whole of (necessary) work” (for livelihood subsistence) is a prerequisite to overcome the separation of economic spheres of production (debt based economy) and reproduction (time based economy) and its different value allocations. This is an inherently feminist thought. Yet, commoners and some feminists do not want to turn the time based reproductive economy into the debt based paid labor sphere. They recognize that the risk is too high: the danger of an all-encompassing commodification and economization of life (and nature). <br />
<br />
Yet, we need transition strategies. While we can state that all people are workers, women are too! And therefore, Indian women, for example, demand social protection and renumeration for their work in the household and for livelihood sustenance outside of the paid formal labor market. They advocate their demand under the slogan “All Women are Workers!”<br />
<br />
== Objective ==<br />
<br />
In this stream we follow '''two intentions''':<br />
<br />
'''One''' is a sensitization for what it (structurally) means to “do away” with the limited notion of labor as employment and with an understanding of labor as a separated sphere of human activity that is subjected to the utilization rules of the market. It is here where we can carve out the genuine potential of the commons.<br />
<br />
'''Another''' is to explore what it means to imagine the paid labor/employment of today as a common pool resource, and then how to organize and manage the “whole (of) work” necessary for our livelihood provisioning and social reproduction as a commons in a world of tomorrow.<br />
<br />
== What questions are we likely to discuss ==<br />
<br />
# What does work, productive activity and labor mean in the context of a commons-based economy?<br />
# What is the relationship between work and the commons, i.e., in a context where production and reproduction are not separated ? <br />
# How can we imagine to de-commodify labor, what terms and conditions were needed? <br />
# Can a historical review of the enclosure and commodification processes contribute to strategic orientation in addressing these questions?<br />
# Can the discourse related to the commons strengthen the power of traditional labor unions and if so, to what extent? What kind of reforms in thought, perception, values, and judgment are necessary? <br />
<br />
<br />
== Issues that are not on the agenda of this debate ==<br />
* How to create more jobs and full employment for all?<br />
* Minimum wages...<br />
* Employment market politics and policies<br />
* Regulation of working hours<br />
<br />
== Methodology ==<br />
<br />
The '''framing keynote''' by Daniela Gottschlich from Lüneburg University will introduce the basic concepts, assumptions and ideas to capture the imagination of the conference participants and indicate the direction of the following joint explorations.<br />
<br />
In the first break out session we will initially provide the opportunity to move around '''6 thematic “speakers corners”''' where particular sub-issues of the framing key-note will be featured repeatedly 6 times 8 min each with a short time for discussion, Q&A if possible. Participants can move from speaker to speaker by their own choice of sequence. <br />
<br />
The purpose of this round is serving predominantly the sensitization for the issue in the hope that it will feed into other streams and nurture the “structural embedding” of the notion the “whole of work” to provide for "the whole of life" in a World of Commons.<br />
<br />
The second break out session will provide intensive working time for expeditions into re-thinking the role of human (re)productive activity and its inherent nature in a generative commons network. <br />
<br />
MORE WORK NEEDED TO FRAME IT!<br />
<br />
== Schedule ==<br />
<br />
Pre-conference on-line planning <br />
<br />
'''May 21:''' possible side-events '''<br />
<br />
'''May 23 am:''' 30 minute keynote to frame “labor” stream.<br />
<br />
'''May 23 pm:''' first breakout session with 6 thematic speakers corners and debate<br />
<br />
'''Suggestions for the 6 speakers corners and their speakers are (60 min):'''<br />
<br />
# Refreshing old terminology or inventing new - a sensitization for the embedded old and new thinking culture” ( Brigitte Kratzwald) <br />
# “Direct reciprocity versus indirect reciprocity and stigmergic polycentrism as new phenomena of socialized, needs oriented production processes” (explained by Stefan Meretz, www. Keimform.de) <br />
# “Digitized work, distributed economies and the changing conditions of labor in the 21st century” (Michel Bauwens) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANbZqvNU_jc )<br />
# The potentials and limits of a basic income as a policy toward acknowledging “the whole of work” approach - an assessment from a feminist and commons perspective (Friederike Habermann) <br />
# Fighting for recognition, valuing social and household reproduction for social security provisions in the emerging economies: “All wo/men are workers!”(Soma Parthasarathy)<br />
# Existing Economic Alternatives and organising the work needed for livelihood provisioning in Intentional communities (Allen Butcher, The School of Intentioneering)<br />
<br />
<br />
Reflection session and open debate (60 min) <br />
<br />
We still have another hour after the speakers corner to meet in a smaller plenary setting and debate and reflect the “intake” from the two previous sessions. I am suggesting to direct the session toward mapping learning points, open questions, lines of tensions, doubts or conceived contradictions, inconclusive issues. Such a mapping will indicate areas of future information and research work and also the need for better communication. <br />
<br />
'''May 24 pm:''' <br />
<br />
- '''150 min second breakout session'''<br />
<br />
kick off by Tom Walker:<br />
The capacity to work (or labour power), whether paid or unpaid, is the outcome of an intrinsically social, co-operative activity. As such, this capacity can best be understood as a "common-pool resource" in that it could most effectively be engaged, valued, enjoyed and protected as a collectively-shared asset rather than as a fragmented assortment of individualized units, which is the current model of labour-as-a-commodity.<br />
From this outset it is possible to discuss how turn labor as a common pool resource into a commons and what this means for the work of the unions in the future. <br />
<br />
But the discussion can also take any other direction, you decide! <br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>== Motivation / introduction ==<br />
One of the main challenges in advancing commons as a stable paradigm is finding ways to develop commons-friendly infrastructures. As commoning practices grow more complex, so grows the need for infrastructures to help sustain and organize them. Commons, whether they are small or large scale, can benefit a lot from dependable communication, energy and transportation, for instance; frequently, the issue is not even that a commons can benefit from those services, but that its daily survival badly depends on them. Also, when we look at commoning initiatives as a loose network, it does not make sense that multiple commons in different fields or locations should have to repeat and overlap their efforts in obtaining those services independently, especially in the cases when such infrastructures could be shared in ways that do not severely affect each commons’ autonomy.<br />
Many existing infrastructure systems, however, enable commons-unfriendly practices (e.g. fossil fuel-based individual transportation) or generate negative social and environmental impacts (e.g., nuclear power and even “clean” energy sources). While some remain barriers to the trend of privatization and are important drivers of social justice, as is the case of some public healthcare and education systems, others reinforce inequality, as they are custom-fit to cater to the needs of large corporations or of already well off elites – as when energy and transportation infrastructure is built by the state to benefit gigantic mining companies in Latin America, and when urban planning and investment is guided by real estate speculation in large cities all over the world; and meanwhile, nearby poor and marginalized populations – as well as their grassroots, alternative-building initiatives – remain underserved in all those aspects.<br />
In contrast to this scenario, we need infrastructures that can “by design” foster and protect new practices of commoning; infrastructures that help bring about positive social changes instead of power concentration and individualistic behavior. Some examples of this are already emerging, with initiatives around distributed energy production, sharing of computing and networking resources (in projects such as Guifi.net, Freedombox and numerous others), and sharing of basic knowledge and instruments in hackerspaces and farmers networks such as Open Source Ecology; but there is still a lot to do and to invent in order to bring them to the forefront in our societies.<br />
<br />
== Objectives ==<br />
The concept of commons has only recently (re)entered the public debate arena; when it comes to its relation with infrastructures, we are on an even less explored territory. This stream’s general orientation, thus, is less directed to immediate problem-solving than to (hopefully fruitful) exploration of the field and its emerging practices.<br />
Nonetheless, the stream does have some goals. We’ll strive to identify some of the issues and challenges that, in the wider discussion about commons, are specific to infrastructures. We hope to connect those activists and researchers that are already involved with infrastructure issues through a productive (and not necessarily consensual) dialogue. We also expect to sensitize others about the need for commons-friendly infrastructures.<br />
Finally, the following questions are possible entry points to the stream’s discussion:<br />
* What are the characteristics that make much of the existing infrastructures commons-unfriendly? What would be the characteristics of infrastructures that foster commoning “by design”? What are the challenges in building the latter?<br />
* In the context of commoning infrastructures, what could be the roles of the state – currently the main provider of infrastructures – and the market? How those actors conflict with commoning initiatives, and how could they be useful strategically (or even in the long term) in infrastructures provisioning?<br />
* While some emerging infrastructures have progressive dimensions (using distributed networks, promoting local access), they may be minor parts of larger, regressive infrastructures that still depend upon individual transportation, centralized power grids and concentrated industrial structures. Is this avoidable, and how so?<br />
* What lessons can be learned from the internet and its protocols, an infrastructure that arguably has fostered many digital information commons?<br />
<br />
== Methodology ==<br />
The stream’s keynote will be introductory, aimed at presenting the field, some of the issues involved in it and examples of emerging commoning infrastructures.<br />
The first stream session will focus on the current situation: analyzing existing infrastructures, the main actors involved and their relations with commons. It will start with kick-off speeches followed by open discussion.<br />
The second stream session will revolve around what we want the situation to be in the future: emerging practices that aim at commons-friendly infrastructures, speculative alternatives, strategical considerations. Initially, there will be time for participants briefly presenting alternative infrastructures they are involved with or aware of. The bulk of the session will be dedicated to group-based work; the groups will discuss specific alternatives, or specific strategical issues. The session will be ended with concise reports on the groups’ discussions, and final comments.<br />
These are flexible suggestions for the formats of both sessions (particularly the second one). They will be adjusted by participants, according to their number, their particular interests and the dynamics of our discussion.</div>Yacohttps://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/index.php?title=Documentation_on_the_ECC2013_Infrastructure_Stream&diff=74742Documentation on the ECC2013 Infrastructure Stream2013-05-13T16:33:41Z<p>Yaco: Yaco moved page Documentation on the ECC2013 Infrastructure Stream to ECC2013/Infrastructure Stream/Documentation</p>

I think its important to distinguish "currency" from a reputation<br />
measurement. Implicit in the term currency is the idea that it can be<br />
exchanged for something.A system for "recognition" is only a currency if<br />
that recognition is exchangable for something.<br />

'''Money is making a fundamental evolutionary step into community currencies. Conventional money as we know it has a built in architecture that leads to scarcity, centralization, concentration, secrecy, proprietarization. This conventional monetary system is not appropriate to dealing with today's global systemic challenges (harmonizing local and global needs, creating ecological sustainability, enabling the information economy, leveraging the open source paradigm, etc). Just as there are now millions of media outlets today, currencies will follow this same evolution by shifting from centralized authoritative models to distributed ones that allow better sustainability, distribution, transparency, and regulation mechanisms.''' <br />

'''How to best transcend the current economic mess? Put Jeff Bezos, Pierre Omidyar, Elon Musk, Tim O’Reilly, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Nathan Myhrvold, and Danny Hillis in a room somewhere and don’t let them out until they have framed a new, massively-distributed financial system, founded on sound, open, peer-to-peer principles, from the start. And don’t call it a bank. Launch a new financial medium that is as open, scale-free, universally accessible, self-improving, and non-proprietary as the Internet, and leave the 13th century behind.”'''<br />

==Depression Economics==<br />
<br />
"During periods of so-called economic depression, societies suffer for want of all manner of essential goods, yet investigation almost invariably discloses that there are plenty of goods available. Plenty of coal in the ground, corn in the fields, wool on the sheep. What is missing is not materials but an abstract unit of measurement called ‘money.’<br />

<br />
<br />
==Leakages from the local economy==<br />
<br />
"Poor liquidity and '''leakage (money flowing from the local economy) are key causes for floundering and/or disappearing regional economies.''' To overcome these shortfalls local communities should be increasing local liquidity and plugging the leakage through the introduction of complementary community currencies thereby re-building their respective local communities in the coal mining area of Wales. When local residents within their respective communities changed the agreements they had about conventional money, by creating and spending complementary community currencies locally instead of spending only diminishing amounts of federal currency with giant corporations, it commenced re-birth in the local communities. Molly used the term local multiplier when she discussed how local liquidity increased proportionately to the amount of complementary community currency being circulated by those who were choosing to participate."<br />

==Aristotle on unnatural wealth==<br />
<br />
"There are two sorts of wealth-getting, as I have said; one is a part of household management, the other is retail trade: the former necessary and honorable, while that which consists in exchange is justly censured; for it is unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another. The most hated sort, and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural object of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural." <br />
<br />

==The Disintermediation of the Banks==<br />
<br />
"First, the distribution monopoly of the Postal Services was hit hard by the Net as people discovered they didn’t need to buy stamps. Then, the copyright industry’s distribution monopoly was flatly and unceremoniously run over. As a third and fairly recent victim, we find the old centralized journalism with its tightly controlled news distribution. As fourth and coming victim, there’s an information distribution few people have thought of in terms of information: the money in our society."<br />

==On the End of Banking==<br />
<br />
“There is no reason products and services could not be swapped directly by consumers and producers through a system of direct exchange – essentially a massive barter economy. All it requires is some commonly used unit of account and adequate computing power to make sure all transactions could be settled immediately. People would pay each other electronically, without the payment being routed through anything that we would currently recognize as a bank. Central banks in their present form would no longer exist – nor would money.”<br />

==James Boyle on the need for balance==<br />
<br />
"The first thing that our policymaker should do is realise that every time you protect somebody’s output, their intellectual work, you extend their trademark, you give them control over some gene sequence, some line of code, you have extensive software patents, you are raising the costs of the inputs to another innovator further upstream. The very first thing you do is look at that balance and say I want to get it right."<br />

<br />
==Stephen Downes: Copyright is Theft==<br />
<br />
"I argue in my article, copyright is essentially a means of allowing people to take what they've borrowed from elsewhere (like Paul Simon did in 'Graceland') and stamp the lable 'theirs' on it. Virtually nothing is completely original, but copyright acts as though the whole work was. It allows people to steal from the ideas, culture, language that we have all created in common and to lable it their own." <br />
<br />
- Stephen Downes [http://www.downes.ca/files/FreeLearning.pdf]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==The basic truth about copyright and the public domain==<br />
<br />
“The purpose of copyright law has been to promote learning and the progress of knowledge. Two features of copyright law should provide the guide for how to respond to access concerns. First, copyright is an author’s right. This is definitional….<br />
<br />
Second,…copyright is a time-limited right. Copyright expires so that the public may ultimately gain unlimited access and use rights. This also is definitional….<br />
<br />
Therefore, by design, all copyrighted works are destined for the public domain….”<br />
<br />
- Michael Carroll [http://carrollogos.blogspot.com/2008/12/digital-public-domain.html]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Three types of goods: [[Collaborative Goods]] show [[Anti-rivalry]]==<br />
<br />
In the rivalry dimension, we start at private goods that exhibit high rivalry, which means that use by one subtracts from the use by another. We move to public goods, which exhibit low rivalry, where use by one does not subtract from use by the other. For anti-rivalry goods, we hypothesize the opposite effect, use by one adds to the potential for use by another. In the excludability dimension, we start with private goods, where it is easy to keeping people out. We move to public goods, where excludability is difficulty. For inclusive goods, we hypothesize to the opposite effect – the benefit of pulling people in.<br />

==Free Must Always Also Mean Gratis!==<br />
<br />
I do not understand how you can have ‘libre’ freedom without ‘free as in beer’ freedom. While the latter does not necessarily imply the former, the former always implies the latter. If everyone can share X freely with others, than the cost will always be driven down to zero (hence X will have both freedoms); if people cannot so share, then X is, by definition, not “libre” free.<br />

==Copyright is an inefficient mechanism to protect creative work==<br />
<br />
While copyrights do provide an incentive for creative work, they are an extremely inefficient mechanism for this end. It is most efficient when items are sold at their marginal cost. Economists generally get infuriated about the economic distortions that are created when tariffs of 10 percent or 20 percent are placed on items like steel or clothes. In the case of copyrights, material that could otherwise be transferred at zero cost, instead commands prices of $15 for CDs, $30 for movies, and even higher prices for other items, entirely because of the government-granted monopoly. For this reason, the economic distortions created by copyright dwarf the economic damage caused by other forms of trade protection.<br />

<br />
==From Profit-Maximization and Market-Orientation to Mission-Focused==<br />
<br />
Profit maximizing limits access to knowledge, by limiting it to paying customers. If anyone thinks this is just a side-effect of today's market incentives, then we can put the situation differently: Profit maximizing doesn't always limit access to knowledge, but is always ready to do so if it pays better. This proposition has a darker corollary: Profit maximizing doesn't always favor untruth, but is always ready to do so if it would pay better. '''...''' Instead of hypnotically granting the primacy of markets in all sectors, as if there were no exceptions, we should remember that many organizations compromise profits or relinquish revenues in order to foster their missions, and that we all benefit from their dedication. Which institutions and sectors ought to do so, and how should we protect and support them to pursue their missions? Instead of smothering these questions for offending the religion of markets, we should open them for wider discussion. Should scholarly publishing, with all of its mixed incentives and hard choices, migrate closer to market-oriented end of the spectrum or to the mission-oriented end of the spectrum? <br />

==It's Not about Distributing Content, but about Abolishing the Consumer-Producer Divide==<br />
<br />
<br />
The copyright industry today likes to present the problem as if internet were just a way for so-called “consumers” to get so-called ”content”, and that we now just got to have ”a reasonable distribution” of money between ISP’s and content industry ... It is totally wrong to regard our role as to represent “consumer interests”. On the contrary, it’s all about leaving the artificial division of humanity into the two groups ”producers” and ”consumers” behind. ... We are now pounding the old mass medial aura and we are in a state of transgressing the hierarchical consumer-producer society. <br />

==The Double IP Conundrum for [[Open Source Hardware]]==<br />
<br />
"Alternative IP models for personal fabrication technologies are in their infancy, and much more development of alternative IP models is needed in order to find the right balance between openness and commercial profitability. '''Products and objects fabricated from electronic blueprints will raise an additional challenge to intellectual property issues since there are two components that could be considered intellectual property: the electronic blueprints and the resulting physical object'''. As software designs proliferate and anybody with a machine can make anything, IP concerns threaten to block the free flow of new design ideas. Our patent system will be challenged by the deluge of legal questions generated when regular people get a hold of powerful design and manufacturing tools." <br />

'''The Meaning of the 21st century intellectual property wars'''<br />
<br />
"Technological progress - from the Printing Press to the BitTorrent protocol - is what essentially drives cultural development and social change, what makes it possible to share ideas, embrace expressions, improve inventions and correct the works of the past. Human history is the history of copying, and the entirely defensive and desperate attempt to stall its advancement by the means of Intellectual Property - the proposition to ressurect the dead as rights holders and turn the living into their licensees - only indicates how profoundly recent advancements in copying technology, the adaptability and scalability they have attained, the ideas and habits they are creating, are about to change the order of things. What lies at the core of the conflict is the emergence of new modes of subjectivation that escape the globally dominant mode of production.

'''Why DRM is broken''':<br />
<br />
"DRM is broken:Bits will never get harder to copy: the limits of copyright online. The problem is that until DRM started building legal restrictions on the use of cultural products into the hardware used to access those products, the relationship between technological capabilities, laws, and social changes was flexible enough to allow copyright laws to evolve with the times. When radio came along and enabled the broadcast of music that had previously been accessed through live performance or sheet music, the legal remedy of compulsory licensing enabled rights owners to be compensated and for a new medium for musical performance to grow. DRM, together with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which criminalizes circumvention of DRM measures, puts an end to that flexibility by instantiating in technology a social agreement that used to be mediated by courts: "DRM stops the change process" that been evolving since the establishment of copyright laws. "Fair use," fundamental to education, scholarship, and the arts, is broken because the rights holder, not a legal process, determines the boundaries, and "DMCA makes breaking DRM to enable fair use illegal."<br />

'''Why drug patents are costing lives''':<br />
<br />
"Knowledge is like a candle, when one candle lights another it does not diminish its light.' In medicine, patents cost lives. The US patent for turmeric didn't stimulate research, and restricted access by the Indian poor who actually discovered it hundreds of years ago. 'These rights were intended to reduce access to generic medicines and they succeeded.' Billions of people, who live on $2-3 a day, could no longer afford the drugs they needed. Drug companies spend more on advertising and marketing than on research. A few scientists beat the human genome project and patented breast cancer genes; so now the cost of testing women for breast cancer is 'enormous."<br />

'''How copyright would kill the fashion industry''':<br />
<br />
"People don't buy new clothes because they need them--they buy them to keep up with the latest style. The fashion industry responds to our desires by churning out new designs at a rapid clip. But fashion designers don't maroon themselves on a desert island to create their work. Designers pay close attention to the work of their peers, and they love to mine the past for ideas. When they see something that they like, they copy it--or, in the argot of the industry, they "reference" it.... The result is the fashion industry's most sacred concept: the trend. Copying makes trends, and trends are what sell fashion.... And the trend-driven copying of attractive designs ensures that those designs diffuse rapidly in the marketplace. This, in turn, makes the early adopters want a new style, because nothing is less attractive than seeing your carefully chosen clothes on the backs of the hoi polloi. In short, '''copying is the engine that drives the fashion cycle'''."<br />
