Hello,

My name is Michel Bauwens, 47, and I'm living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I teach and devote time to research on P2P, through my newsletter [(http://integralvisioning.org/index.php?topic=p2p)], and through my manuscript (book in progress), which is posted on this site, or in a shorter earlier version here [(http://integralvisioning.org/article.php?story=p2ptheory1)]

I'm a Belgian national, and before my move to Thailand I was active as a 'dotcom entrepreneur' as well as ebusiness strategy director for Belgium's largest telco, Belgacom.

It is my aim to develop a 'P2P Theory' which adequatly describes and explains current trends, to propose, in dialogue with others, sustainable strategies for political and social change, i.e. to achieve a 'commons-based society' that can operate within a reformed market and state.

This 'virtual' foundation is my attempt to link up with others, and to develop a resource that can be of use to a commons movement, along with the many fine resources already developed by others. However, I devote most of my energy today to the newsletter and manuscript, so any assistance would be great appreciated.
