The Community facesconsiderable threats from the mining industry and has been drawn intoa protracted conflict with the companies.The municipality of Lousame, in which I have recently served as localcouncillor, is a good example of the reality of land commons inGaliza. common land is 50% of the total in the municipality, with 33commons community assemblies managing its resources, that also includein most cases basic services such as supply of water.In this corner of Europe, the commons are a crucial aspect of ourlife. 1/3 of the land in Galiza is "commons", some 650.000 hectaresthat contribute to the livelihood of more than half a million people.Galizan "commons" is a form of "property" which is neither State-ownednor individual, but belonging to communities as open and fluid groupsof people settled in the land that steward its resources.With this context in mind, we are mostly interested in traditionalmechanisms for commons management through rural assembly democracy.But we are also very interested in expanding the notion of the commonsto other practises and places. I am also involved with the iComunalesinitiative (http://www.icomunales.org/), connected to the global ICCAConsortium (http://www.iccaconsortium.org/).Finally, I would like to draw your attention to a massive conflictthat currently involved several other commons communities in ourmunicipality regarding a project to set up a massive industrial wastelandfill for a million tons in prime agricultural and forest landsthat directly affects dozens of farmers and drinking water supplies ofmany of our villages.

I also coordinated the Dutch ‘great transition’ campaign (De Grote Transitie). While all important and potent, they each (singly) have their limitations, which has brought me to studying the commons paradigm that to me captures the essence of what is at stake here.My key concern is theoretical synthesis and discourse formation. I am attempting to devise a framework that aims to make the dispersed field of the commons intelligible to everyday influencers (i.e. policymakers, managers, civil servants, ngo people, scholars), many of whom appear to have a latent interest in commons thinking, but who are not as commited (and certainly not as well-informed) as we are.In an early rendition of this effort, together with Waag Society I will be running a temporary programme called Open Planbureau (preliminary, Dutch, info on www.openplanbureau.nl).

It includes 24 case studies of hybrid organizations who are part market or state and part commons. All of this work has led me to see the great social and economic benefits of the commons - in all its forms. Having started out focusing on the digital commons I'm now coming to embrace the physical commons and position my go forward efforts in a way that embraces both the digital and physical. Commons work in Europe seems significantly more advanced than in North America but I'm sensing a growing interest here so I've started speaking to people about the possibility of to establishing a NA Commons Assembly.
