It is to design an ambitious and popular process of learning and empowering people on their commons. It mobilizes activists, intellectuals and researchers from different geographical and cultural backgrounds and disciplinary who share the ambition to rebuild commitment and citizen participation on public property.Commons are goods or things that do not belong to anyone in particular, but whose use is common to all, and management established on a cooperative and democratic basis, ie it allows each to take part in the development of rules and decisions that affect himself.Examine commons from the point of view of production of social and symbolic links, is questioning how men are all together human community and how by accident or necessity, they can show their capacity to know or not that they are trying to consolidate this link or to lose it, how they are able or not to build and take care of commons (Abdourahmane Seck).Based on the experiences and issues specific to the African continent, the Commons Mapping Project in Africa is to develop methods of interpretation and representation, including mapping, of the issues relative to the commons, to systematize and to organize their mutual enrichment in an open and collaborative base for the purpose of empowering people.This project will contribute to the networking of commoners in Africa, and to strengthen their interaction with the rest of the world, through the sharing of visions and practices and the contribution to the development of methods and tools for mapping the commons.Folow this work (in French) in the <a href="http://wiki.remixthecommons.org/index.php/Communs_en_Afrique">wiki</a> of Remix The Commons and read more in the <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/fr/2014/07/cartographier-…uns-en-afrique/">French version of this post</a>.ix The Commons and read more in the <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/fr/2014/07/cartographier-…uns-en-afrique/">French version of this post</a>.)

Apart from the pleasure of playing, C@rds in common was conceived as a means of documenting the presence of the commons at the Commons Space, an ephemeral encounter at the World Social Forum in Montreal in August 2016. The cards that composed the game were designed by volunteers who shared their vision and experience of the commons and the game mecanism designed by Mathieu Rhéaume and his team. This experience suggests that it would be possible to use the same approach and these methodological tools to document the commons in other local contexts, alike your neighborhood, or thematics as the commons of knowledge for example.

The idea is to ensure full digital sovereignty over our work, exchanges and data in coherence with the vision set out in the Charter for Building a Data Commons for a Free, Fair and Sustainable Future.After having tested with Koumbit, an independent and solidary hosting company in Montreal, our ability to set up and manage some tools based on open source and the commons on a shared server, we designed a cooperation system based on a model similar to that of AMAPs, which we call the « Konbit numerique », in reference to the konbit of Haitian farmers. <a href="https://wiki.remixthecommons.org/index.php?title=Konbit">Konbit</a> numerique is a prototype of « computational commons » for commoners’ projects. It proposes a working infrastructure that makes it possible to gradually achieve the objectives of independence and sovereignty on information and communication technology.Our Konbit numerique consists of a group of identified users and a server administrator, Koumbit cooperator. It is based on a 6 TB server hosted by Koumbit in Montreal (<a href="https://nuage.en-commun.net">https://nuage.en-commun.net)</a>, in which are installed the applications we need, tools based on open source and commons: file sharing, calendars, task management, online editing of text documents, table, email,… and most importantly for us a wiki farm. This is coverering a large part of the current digital uses of our organizations.Users are involved in the governance, and as much as possible in maintenance. The work of the server administrator is handled by the collective through a monthly intervention time credit system. This includes, in addition to the time dedicated to server maintenance, time reserved for future technical developments that will be allocated according to the Konbit’s needs. The idea is therefore to jointly pre-finance a digital infrastructure dedicated to the collective. This infrastructure is not based on capitalist logic. It does not seek to make more profit in the perspective of extraction, but to satisfy the needs of the collective. It allows us to start a process to degoogling our digital practices.Each person involved in the projects of the partners, stakeholders of this initiative, has access to this space and uses it within the framework of their activities in relation to the commons. Each partner can contribute to the life and development of the konbit by subscribing one or more shares of solidarity support (suggested amount: 15 € – 20 $CAD per month, or according to the budgets and needs of the projects), and according to the principle which aims to decouple use and trade (principle 3 of the Charter mentioned above). We have set ourselves the objective of gradually expanding the first collective to a balance between technical need/capacity and finance/governance. It is estimated that about 20 members would be an interesting size of the collective. Then other Konbits could be created and allow a federated type of operation.The konbit numerique is not an open structure like a Chaton (online service open to all), or an alternative hoster, but an experience of self-management of computational infrastructure by its users. It is still a little early to draw lessons from this approach, but it is likely that this initiative allows organizations to embed digital sovereignty into their thinking on transition and take action. We hope that accompanying such processes could be a challenge of interest to free software activists.hinking on transition and take action.

In order to make this notion known and to avoid its dilution in sometimes too vague speeches, the collective Remix the Commons endeavors to decipher the practices and to sketch out the semantic and conceptual field of the movement of the commons from the collection and analysis of the documents it produces. The development of this vocabulary, which uses the tools of the semantic web, makes it possible to link the initiatives of documentation and promotion of the commons without erasing what makes their identities unique. By doing that, the movement of the commons has a space for strategic collaboration.</blockquote><figure id="attachment_4643" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4643" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-4643" src="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/alaina-buzas-Samburu-vocabulary--1024x681.jpg" alt="By Alaina Buzas " width="1024" height="681" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4643" class="wp-caption-text">By Alaina Buzas</figcaption></figure>It is in 2010 that Remix the Commons initiates a process of documentation of the commons. Initially, the collective has a simple web site to identify and report content, mostly video, accessible online. At the same time, an initial series of video interviews was conducted at an international meeting in Berlin (2010). Others will follow the rhythm of World Social Forums or local initiatives in France, Senegal, Quebec first, and then in many countries on different continents. It quickly becomes necessary to allow each person to search by using key words in this documentation.<h1>From key words to the commons vocabulary</h1>When cataloging media objects on the Remix the Commons wiki (more than 500 media objects now), we describe the content of each production according to four axes which helps to position it in the field of the commons: object or resource to be commonified, stakes, associated actions and expected results. To date, more than 400 « key concepts » have been identified from the corpus gathered on the site. After that, ech concept is a card that uses the information on the Remix the Commons wiki, but also data from other sources accessible by using linking techniques by wikis and the semantic web. From each record, the user accesses information from the main documentary collections associated with the commons (P2P Foundation, Transformap, Digital Library of the Commons) and the large reference databases DBpedia, Wikidata, VIAF And WorldCat. Each concept is accompanied by definitions in several languages, resources published around the world that illustrate the point or refer to practices.This set of key concepts provides a vivid and moving description of the world from the point of view of the commons. This collection is freely accessible, usable by all and open to contribution. Although this work is still at an experimental stage, it opens up interesting perspectives in terms of research, the production and the dissemination of knowledge about the commons. Holes, gaps and nuances between sources of information, between languages and cultures can be identified, documented and discussed among the actors involved in the field of the commons.The vocabulary of the commons highlighted can support the emerging practices and contribute to the enrichment of the contents in Wikipedia and Wikidata, for example. The associations and collectives that contribute to the documentation of the commons, have there a resource that allows them to collaborate on the production of informational commons on the commons.te to the documentation of the commons, have there a resource that allows them to collaborate on the production of informational commons on the commons.)

On the afternoon of the 16th, around 150 will partcipate in a meeting in the European Parliament, organized in cooperation with the EP intergroup on Common Goods and Public Services (Led by Marisa Matias, Dario Tamburrano, Ernesto Urtasun, Sergio Cofferati). A variety of other events (and local assemblies) will take place outside Parliament, both in Brussels and across Europe.</blockquote><H1>Networking, unity and policy around the commons paradigm </H1>On September 26, a group of nonprofits, foundations, and other civil society organizations jointly publish a “Call for a European Commons Assembly” (https://europeancommonsassembly.eu/#section1). The collectively drafted document, which continues to garner signatures from groups and individuals around Europe, serves as a declaration of purpose for a distributed network of “commoners.” <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ECA-300x212.jpg" alt="eca" width="900" height="636" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4561" /> Author: TILL GENTZSCHThe Assembly seeks to unite citizens in trans-local and trans-european solidarity to overcome Europe’s current challenges and reinvigorate the political process for the 21st century. The commons can be understood as a bridging paradigm that stresses cooperation in management of resources, knowledge, tools, and spaces as diverse as water, Wikipedia, a crowdfund, or a community garden. Their Call describes commoning as:<ul>…the network-based cooperation and localized bottom-up initiatives already sustained by millions of people around Europe and the world. These initiatives create self-managed systems that satisfy important needs, and often work outside of dominant markets and traditional state programmes while pioneering new hybrid structures.</ul> The Assembly emerged in May from a diverse, gender balanced pilot community of 28 activists from 15 European countries, working in different domains of the commons. New people are joining the Assembly every week, and ECA is inclusive and open for others to join, so that a broad and resilient European movement can coalesce. It seeks to visibilize acts of commoning by citizens for citizens, while promoting interaction with policy and institutions at both the national and European levels. <H1>Part of a broader movement</H1> The rapid embrace of commons as an alternative holistic, sustainable and social worldview is in part an expression of unease with the unjust current economic system and democratic deficiencies. The commons movement has exploded in recent years, following the award of the Nobel Prize in Economics to Elinor Ostrom in 2009 for her work on managing common resources. It has also seen overlap with other movements, such as the Social and Solidarity and Sharing Economy movements, peer to peer production, and Degrowth.Michel Bauwens, part of the ECA who is also a prominent figure in the peer-to-peer movement, explains: All over the world, a new social movement is emerging, which is challenging the ‘extractive’ premises of the mainstream political economy and which is co-constructing the seed forms of a sustainable and solidary society. Commoners are also getting a voice, for example through the Assemblies of the Commons that are emerging in French cities and elsewhere. The time is ripe for a shoutout to the political world, through a European Assembly of the Commons.The Call includes an open invitation to Brussels from November 15 to 17, 2016 for three days of activities and shared reflection on how to protect and promote the commons. It will include an official session in the European Parliament, hosted by the Intergroup on Common Goods and Public Services, on November 16 (limited capacity).

Room : Sala conferenze della bibliotecaReclaim, protect and create commons in our neighborhoods and in our cities, urban commons, effective and contributes to the daily production of human and social rights.In practice, these struggles take many forms. All are facing the need for the creation and use of original legal instruments to manage shared resources in common, to meet a specific need within a community. Each of these legal creations is unique. It corresponds to a specific context, vision, and culture. It provides information on the inventiveness and creative imagination of commoners and on their relationship with the State at the local, national or even international scale.Knowledge of these legal experiences enriches those of other commoners. Analysis of the practices that have produced or inspired them, is a potential factor of development and multiplication of the commons. As part of the Festival of commons of Chieri, we offer a workshop to develop collaboratively a tool for the analysis of the legal instruments, statutes, charters and regulations for the commons. This tool, the Atlas of charters of the urban commons, will be used to know the nature, understand the operation, effects and the conditions of development, of legal instruments in favor of the commons. This will be an operational and critical resource for exchanges and collaborations between commoners engaged in collective claim of urban commons within various initiatives, from different cultural contexts and rights local and national.The workshop will be organized in two separate times at which you can participate independently:From 12:00 to 15:00: • The first workshop will take the stock and share all the approaches and experiences working with legal instruments for urban commons in order to facilitate cooperation between activists, initiatives and organizations already involved;From 15:00 to 18:00: • The second time will be based on practice by analysing legal instruments, statutes, deliberation, regulations and charters of urban commons with a first matrix that will be used for the Atlas of charters of urban commons. The objective will be to achieve a first iteration with this matrix in order to improve it. It will also develop one or more possible use of this tool for identified needs.Both workshops will be led by: Alain Ambrosi, Irene Favero, Daniela Festa, Frédéric SultanRegistration recommended to help the organization of the workshop : <a href=" http://doodle.com/9myczsrttbb7mvu8">http://doodle.com/9myczsrttbb7mvu8</a>Contact : <a href="mailto:ambrosia@web.net">Alain Ambrosi</a> <a href="mailto:irenefavero@reseauculture21.fr">Irene Favero</a> <a href="mailto:festadaniela@gmail.com">Daniela Festa</a> <a href="mailto:fredericsultan@gmail.com">Frédéric Sultan </a><blockquote>ITALIANO</blockquote><h2>WORKSHOP: Creazione di un Atlante degli statuti dei Commons Urbani</h2>Festival Internazionale dei Beni Comuni, Domenica 12 luglio dalle 12:00 alle 18:00. Sala conferenze della bibliotecaRivendicare, proteggere e creare commons nei nostri quartieri e nelle le nostre città contribuisce all’attuazione effettiva e quotidiana di diritti fondamentali e di diritti sociali.Nella pratica, le lotte per i beni comuni urbani possono assumere forme eterogenee. Tutte si trovano confrontate, tuttavia, alla necessità di usare o creare regole e strumenti giuridici che permettano di governare risorse condivise per rispondere a esigenze specifiche di un comunità. Tali strumenti hanno caratteri propri. Corrispondono a determinati contesti e visioni e sono espressioni di determinate culture. Forniscono informazioni sull’inventività e l’immaginazione creativa dei commoners e la relazione che questi hanno con lo Stato a livello locale, nazionale, internazionale.La conoscenza di queste esperienze giuridiche può arricchire gli altri commoners. L’analisi delle pratiche che le hanno prodotte o ispirate è un potenziale fattore di sviluppo e moltiplicazione dei commons. Nel contesto del Festival dei beni comune di Chieri, proponiamo un workshop per elaborare collettivamente uno strumento di analisi di statuti, dichiarazioni e regolamenti che si sono prodotti a partire dai beni comuni. Questo strumento, “Atlante degli statuti dei commons urbani”, servirà a comprenderne la natura, analizzarne il funzionamento e gli effetti e individuare le condizioni e le premesse per lo sviluppo di strumenti giuridici che possano favorire i commons. Sarà una risorsa critica e operativa per gli scambi e la cooperazione tra i collettivi di commoners impegnati nella rivendicazione dei diversi beni comuni urbani situati in diversi contesti culturali e giuridici.Il workshop sarà organizzato in due momenti diversi ai quali è possibile partecipare in modo indipendente:Delle 12:00 alle 15:00: – Il primo workshop si propone di individuare e condividere le pratiche e le esperienze ascrivibili alle rivendicazioni di urban commons per facilitare la cooperazione tra attivisti, esperienze e realtà presenti;Delle 15:00 alle 18:00: – Il seconda workshop consentirà di sperimentare l’analisi dei diversi strumenti giuridici elaborati: statuti, regolamenti, delibere, linee guida a partire da una prima griglia di lettura che servirà da matrice per L’Atlante degli statuti dei commons urbani.L’obiettivo è quello di realizzare una prima sperimentazione della griglia d’analisi per correggerla e migliorarla e di proporre uno o più scenari di utilizzo dello strumento corrispondente alle necessità emerse durante l’insieme dei lavori.Entrambi i laboratori saranno condotti da: Alain Ambrosi, Irene Favero, Daniela Festa, Frédéric SultanRegistrazione raccomanda di facilitare lo svolgimento del workshop : <a href=" http://doodle.com/9myczsrttbb7mvu8">http://doodle.com/9myczsrttbb7mvu8</a>Contact : <a href="mailto:ambrosia@web.net">Alain Ambrosi</a> <a href="mailto:irenefavero@reseauculture21.fr">Irene Favero</a> <a href="mailto:festadaniela@gmail.com">Daniela Festa</a> <a href="mailto:fredericsultan@gmail.com">Frédéric Sultan </a> Daniela Festa, Frédéric Sultan Registrazione raccomanda di facilitare lo svolgimento del workshop : <a href=" http://doodle.com/9myczsrttbb7mvu8">http://doodle.com/9myczsrttbb7mvu8</a> Contact : <a href="mailto:ambrosia@web.net">Alain Ambrosi</a> <a href="mailto:irenefavero@reseauculture21.fr">Irene Favero</a> <a href="mailto:festadaniela@gmail.com">Daniela Festa</a> <a href="mailto:fredericsultan@gmail.com">Frédéric Sultan </a>)

It aims to create the conditions for a simultaneous transformation of civil society, market and government based on the paradigm of commons knowledge.The FLOK Society project has been developed in Ecuador at the request of governmental institutions. It was directed by Michel Bauwens, leading P2P Foundation, which mobilized around him a large team of researchers and activists in Ecuador, Latin America and worldwide. The work put into perspective the four major mobilizing and producing common knowledge sectors: education and culture, science, industry, agriculture and services, citizenship and participation (ref: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/obd9jdh">http://tinyurl.com/obd9jdh</a>), for brushing an analysis of the effects of changes in the market, the state and civil society, and propose cross-sectoral guidelines and public policies to social knowledge economy which contributes to the emergence of a social, economical and environmental transition. These proposals are the specific recommendations to the Ecuadorian local context of a more general matrix.Regardless of how they are (or not) included in the public policies by the government or civil society initiatives in Ecuador, the work done within the FLOK Society project provides a corpus of proposals and methodology that deserve be tested in other contexts than Ecuador. This seminar invites to identify and deepen FLOK Society project proposals and put them into perspective with the existing research, experiments and initiatives in the French and European context.In this context, the actors of the transition are involved in an history and an agenda of struggles, demonstrations and experiments. This seminar aims to help integrate the paradigm of commons knowledge, in a useful and effective perspective, in their political visions by the actors of the transition, such as social movements, trade unionism, and the Social Economy Solidarity.How reflection on the place of commons knowledge will it inspire? What agendas build or join? In which territories and scale should we mobilize commons knowledge for social, cultural, economic and political change towards a conscious, fairer and more inclusive society in respect of the limits of the planet?The seminar is structured around three phases corresponding to the three axes objects transformation: the market, the public authorities and civil society. For each of these times, it is to analyze the contributions of commons knowledge in the debates and social and political struggles in progress, to the extent possibilities, develop proposals, clear lines of force and improve the convergence of the sectoral and territorial strategies. These three areas of work will be preceded by a presentation of the project and FLOK Society and followed by a time of assessment of the seminar.This seminary will take place at Villarceaux, OEcocentre de la Bergerie with the support of Fondation Charles Léopold Mayer – FPHMore information : <a href="mailto:fredericsultan@gmail.com">Frédéric Sultan</a> with the support of Fondation Charles Léopold Mayer – FPH More information : <a href="mailto:fredericsultan@gmail.com">Frédéric Sultan</a>)

The collaborative creation process will develop on an intercultural and interdisciplinary fashion, production and sharing of knowledge on legal tools that make alive the urban commons. Through workshops, camps, and cultural residencies, with the commoners, we will co-produce the Atlas (a mapping tool), that will be a place to meet and to interact for creating or recovering our urban commons.</blockquote><figure id="attachment_4247" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4247" style="width: 644px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Magna-Carta-1215-Document-num--ris---600x100.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-4247" src="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Magna-Carta-1215-Document-num--ris---600x100.jpg" alt="Fragment de la Magna Carta de la Cathédrale de Salisbury (UK)" width="644" height="46" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4247" class="wp-caption-text">Fragment de la Magna Carta de la Cathédrale de Salisbury (UK)</figcaption></figure><h1>The charters of the urban commons as inspiration</h1>Urban commons charters are rules of self-governance established by a community for their commons in their neighbourhood, city, region… They can be transformed into legal instruments that formally recognize the rights and sovereignty of individuals and of the community over their common goods. They are also an instrument for organizing commoning with a view to preserving, sharing and transmitting those common goods. They are accompanied by a multitude of activities, narratives, creations, illustrations, celebrations, and studies that are the heart of the commons culture and that we want to conserve and hand on from generation to generation.We aim to evolve within this commons culture to generate mutual inspiration and to nourish the imagination as well as the practices of the urban commons around the world.Documenting commons charters experiences in an iterative, collective, decentralized and self-managed manner is in itself a way of making a common culture. Our proposal is to develop and make available to commoners various modes of documentation adapted to sharing the experiences of commons charters.We plan to organise camps and cultural residencies and to collectively create an Atlas of urban commons charters through interactive mapping in semantic web.This process is intended to be exploratory, pragmatic, pedagogical and political; it is as well both interdisciplinary and inter-cultural. It allows commoners to formalise their experience, to link it with that of other members of their community and to share it with other communities. It also allows to share both the legal tools developed over time and the experience accumulated around the world (with input from legal experts and urban designers). It aims to make this process known and recognized as one of the mainsprings of democracy and of the good life in an urban environment.<h1>Learning from the historical and contemporary experience of the charters of the commons</h1>The documentation and facilitation activities on the commons in the context of remixthecommons led us to discover the wealth and variety of citizen initiatives and proposals on urban and broader territorial scaleson various continents. In the process of constituting a commons, neighbours and citizens consistently take the key step of creating and formalizing rules of self-governance. Innovative practices in this domain exist at the neighbourhood level (as in Dakar) and on the scale of entire cities (Bologna, Djakarta and others). The experiences that appear to us exemplary are those where citizen initiatives have been able to mobilise a broad range of expertise from various sectors (cooperatives, activists, architects, lawyers, urban designers, informatics, etc) in order to advance proposals that are at one and the same time innovative and pragmatic, that welcome, encourage, ensure and guide active participation by citizens in regenerating, constituting and managing urban commons.In Europe, the Italian examples of the self-managed cultural spaces, the AquaBeneComune in Milan and various municipal commons charters adopted in several cities are inspiring and hold the potential of being shared, remixed and adapted to other socio-cultural and political contexts.This blooming of urban charters is a stimulus for commoners apprentices to share and co-produce knowledge and proposals with their pairs.The consolidation of networks of commons activists on the European level has engendered a dynamic of exchange and intercultural cross-fertilisation. Recent seminars on the subject between France and Italy are an example.In addition, this collective mobilisation in favour of urban commons charters is a superb way of celebrating le 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, which profoundly marked the history of the commons.<h1>An invitation to collaborate</h1>We wish to implement a digital prototype of the atlas of the charters of urban commons. It will be co-created during a first workshop and improved by an iterative process. Workshops with people and online will stimulate documentation of existing charters and the creation of new adapted to their contexts and to their local rights. These actions will crossed scientific disciplines and popular know-how. And we will take care to have diversified processes of work and to ensure the sharing of data, of the design of uses and of the services inspired by the Atlas.We are pleased to invite to participate all the activists and researchers motivated by the commons, especially those part of the Francophone network of commoners, and the organizations such as Commons Josephat (Brussels), Marx Dormoy Labs (Paris) Days of Urban Alternatives (Lausanne), or the House of the commons (Montpellier), LARTES in Dakar, …etc, and the European collectives such as Comuns urban activists in Barcelona, P2p plazas in Madrid, …etc.This initiative will also lead us to collaborate with activists of the Rights to The City, such as in France, the Coordination “Pas sans nous! (Not Without Us!) and the Collective for Citizenship Transition, and the International Alliance of Inhabitants.Some municipalities and local governments are already committed to support the commons and have their own charter. They offer spaces which allow to experiment our approach. The Festival of the Commons at Chieri in Italy (July 2015) could be the first opportunity.<h1>The contribution of Remix the commons</h1>Remix the commons incubates the project. We will share our experience of intercultural and multilingual projects such as <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/en/2013/12/definir-les-communs-sur-une-carte/">Mapping the Definition of the Commons</a>, of co-creation processes (see « <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/art-com">The Art of Commoning</a>» ) and our knowledge of European networks, including France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

Organized by the Department of animation to the spiritual life and community involvement of Collège Sainte-Anne de Lachine, stay took place in Benin (from 4 to 22 January 2013) with the Society of African Missions. My mandate : make a film about the Benin experience. Being at that time in Communautique, humanitarian trip was an opportunity to build relationships with my workplace. So I proposed the creation of video clips on the commons in Benin.To prepare for the experience abroad , there were two training camps. I prepared video workshops for imparting technical knowledge to experiment with youth and to script the vision of the video project. In the second camp, the notion of the common good has been addressed in parallel with the presentation Remix the Commons. I invited the young people to choose three themes that challenged them . They identified water , education and culture. These later became the subjects of discussions and observations to document our trip .Stephanie L. Berubedocumentary filmmaker <h2>Final Draft : Benin Commons</h2>The project resulted in a series of five video clips , made from material collected , which opens opportunities remix .<h3>Chapter intangible culture</h3>History of spiritual practices , the common good is also reflected in the way people come together to support the intangible culture of their nation and of our humanity.<h3>The home</h3>What is the role of history in our understanding of democracy , human rights and ultimately the common good? How the past can explain the realities of today and make us think about the future ? In this video, the history of slavery in parallel (and in opposition ) with the notion of « home » in order to improve our understanding of the freedom of African countries and Africans. Where the home he starts ?« The home is a birthright that nobody has the right to rape because it is the source of love , happiness , freedom of action , freedom of expression. I think the home begins in the home. [ … ] It refers to the court, the environment, locally, nationally organized . « ( Intervention introduction : » How far are you from home breakfast joint in Kédougou « directed by Anne- Julie Rollet and Kër Thiossane in collaboration with The Companyia ? )<h3>The invisible world</h3>Shot during the International Day of Voodoo in Benin, this video presents a discussion with young people about their perception and understanding of the religious holiday. The ethnographic nature of this video shows the diversity and complexity of the opportunity to reflect on the intercultural approach in terms of public goods and metaphysics through questions such as: Where do your ideas come from the world ? How are they reflected in your actions , your integrity and , therefore, your approach to the common good ? <h2>Future development</h2>Currently , this personal project is completed. Nevertheless, it has the potential for development and reuse to address common property in Africa or intercultural perspective of the commons .The material can be used for remixes .The caps on the water could be used in video projects on water according to different countries . For example, do a remix of » Sô- AVA et ses heaurizons » of Benin Commons and « Ô Saint-Laurent : une histoire de culture et d’appartenance » Communautique .The chapter on education offers interesting material to cross in a global consideration of the diversity of projects and realities of education.The two videos in the » culture » deserve to be improved with new equipment to better frame the discussion ( what is a common good intangible cultural ? ) And thus clarified. Also, a remix can put parralèle new audiovisual materials that illustrate other examples.The videos will be subtitled in French for web accessibility for deaf people , but could also be translated into English. <h2>Collaborators</h2>And editing: Stephanie L.

A harmonic crescendo that was also worth millions.An excellent series of nine 8-minute videos, directed by Fabian Caus-Lahalle and distributed by France’s National Audiovisual Institute, tells the story of the post-mortem reach of this gem from Maurice Ravel, who barely profited from it, rapidly falling ill and dying less than 10 years later.</blockquote>The series looks like a detective story, with treachery, secret markets, fiscal paradises, and a masseuse on one side, and political men inundated by lobbies and incapable of defending the public domain on the other.

It also needs to be shown to all of our elected officials so that they see how their lack of interest for the protection of the public domain is nothing in reality but a submission to scammers, to lobbies, to monied powers, and to the disregard of society and its desire for cultural sharing and creative reinterpretations of cultural works. They can no longer close their eyes: they are responsible for what they steal from the public domaine for the profit of Panamanian or Monacan society.What would Maurice Ravel say?

Increasingly though, efforts are being made to decolonize research practices by fostering more equitable relationships between researchers and Indigenous peoples, based on mutual trust and collaboration.In this presentation George Nicholas reviews debates over the « ownership » of Indigenous heritage and provides examples of new research practices that are both more ethical and more effective.

The first term of office 2015-2019 was held with a minority government and in a regional and national context that was politically and ideologically unfavourable to the development of a « new municipalism of the commons » and an « alternative way of doing politics » that Barcelona claimed to be « en Comù ».The time has come to take stock and, of course, many will have something to say about the achievements made by comparing them to the initial programme. But when we see on the one hand the concrete achievements that often go beyond or question the competences of a municipality (housing, mobility, civic income, health, immigration, tourism, feminisation of politics, energy and technological sovereignty, etc) and on the other hand, what has been done to put transparency in the relationship between the institution, the social movements and the neighbourhood assemblies and the research, for a co-production of policies, we can affirm that the results are generally positive.The commons movement members and the supporters of a new municipalism, can be pleased that, thanks to a coalition of social movements, that has had the courage (and it is necessary) to invest an institution impregnated with neo-liberal practices and a logic of political parties fights, that is often far from the needs and realities of residents, Barcelona remains one of the most dynamic laboratories of urban commons and a model to which to refer.The <a href="https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/digital/sites/default/files/pla_barcelona_digital_city_in.pdf_barcelona_digital_city_in.pdf">review of the digital plan</a> implemented during the first mandate proposed here is characteristic of the achievements, critical path and creativity of this laboratory.Here is how the city summarizes the principles of its action:<blockquote>Establish itself as a global reference point as a city of commons and collaborative production End privatisation and transfer of public assets in private hands, while promoting remunicipalisation of critical urban infrastructures Massively reduce the cost of basic services like housing, transport, education and health, in order to assist those in the most precarious strata of the population Institute a citizens basic income focused on targeting proverty and social exclusion Barcelona Digital City Plan (2015-2019) Build data-driven models of the economy, with real inputs (using real time data analytics) so that participatory democracy could model complex decisions Prefer and promote collaborative organisations over both the centralised state and the market solutions (start investing higher percentages of public budget in innovative SMEs and the cooperative sector) Build city data commons: decree that the networked data of the population generated in the context of using public services cannot be owned by services operators</blockquote>These principles are embodied in an action programme, the effects of which are detailed in this document. In addition to the emblematic 13,000 policy proposals from the inhabitants, of which 9.245 (72%) have been accepted, there have been 126 cases of corruption reported through the Transparency mailbox since 2017 or the inclusion of gender differences in the STEAM education and technological training programme.Finally, Barcelona, here as in other areas, is building on and strengthening city networks. It initiated – with New York and Amsterdam – the Coalition of Cities for Digital Rights and launched the campaign « 100 Cities in 100 Days » to defend 5 principles of digital policy:<blockquote><ul><li>Equal and universal access to Internet and computer literacy Barcelona Digital City Plan (2015-2019)</li><li>Privacy, data protection and security</li><li>Transparency, accountability and non-discrimination in data, content and algorithms</li><li>Participatory democracy, diversity, and inclusion</li><li>Open and ethical digital service standards</li></ul></blockquote>The cities of the Coalition are developing common roadmaps, laws, tools, actions and resources to protect the digital rights of residents and visitors.Alain Ambrosi and Frédéric SultanFor a more exhaustive assessment see the sector-by-sector assessment on the <a href="https://barcelonaencomu.cat/es">Barcelona Joint Site (in Spanish)</a> protect the digital rights of residents and visitors.

The idea was to do a light, self editable and easy to use collection of posters. It is dedicated to places that welcome an audience that is not particularly sensitive to the commons. We were thinking for example of community centers, libraries or schools. After a few exchanges, notably around the game <a href="http://commonspoly.cc/">Commonspoly</a>, which had been prototyped by <a href="http://www.zemos98.org/">ZEMOS98</a> a few months before during a European meeting, we produced an exhibition of 12 posters that explain and illustrate the commons.<figure style="width: 1240px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://wiki.remixthecommons.org/images/ExpoLesCommunsV0_panneau01.png" width="1240" height="1753" alt=" Expo Les communs page1 CC-BY-SA." class="size-medium" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"> Expo Les communs page1 CC-BY-SA.</figcaption></figure>The exhibition proposes to discover the common through their definition and concrete illustration. The panels make us walk through different facets of the commons: the fragility of natural commons, the relationship between use and ownership, the role of hackers in the renewal of commons, the place of knowledge, and the reconquest of political space by commoners. Finally, it also proposes resources based on other cultural initiatives: Communauthèque, a best of bibliography of the 50 books on the commons, the game C@rds in common or Remix the commons of course!This exhibition is a collective work leaded by Thierry Pasquier, and edited by Rosie Howe, with the support of Espace Mendès France at Poitiers, a center for scientific, technical and industrial culture in New Aquitaine, Vecam, and Remix the commons.

The team that put together the proposals is led by Michel Bauwens from the <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/">Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives</a>. What is the background to this plan, and how likely is it that it will bear fruit? With the hope of finding out I spoke recently to Bauwens.</div><div>One interesting phenomenon to emerge from the Internet has been the growth of free and open movements, including free and open source software, open politics, open government, open data, citizen journalism, creative commons, open science, open educational resources (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources">OER</a>), open access etc.</div><div>While these movements often set themselves fairly limited objectives (e.g. “<a href="http://cogprints.org/1702/">freeing the refereed literature</a>”) some network theorists maintain that the larger phenomenon they represent has the potential not just to replace traditional closed and proprietary practices with more open and transparent approaches, and not just to subordinate narrow commercial interests to the greater needs of communities and larger society but, since the network enables ordinary citizens to collaborate together on large meaningful projects in a distributed way (and absent traditional hierarchical organisations), it could have a significant impact on the way in which societies and economies organise themselves.</div><div>In his influential book <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Networks">The Wealth of Networks</a>, for instance, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yochai_Benkler">Yochai Benkler</a> identifies and describes a new form of production that he sees emerging on the Internet — what he calls “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons-based_peer_production">commons-based peer production</a>”. This, he says, is creating a new <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/macloo/networked-information-economy-benkler">Networked Information Economy</a>.</div><div>Former librarian and Belgian network theorist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Bauwens">Michel Bauwens</a> goes so far as to say that by enabling peer-to-peer (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_peer-to-peer_processes">P2P</a>) collaboration, the Internet has created a new model for the future development of human society. In addition to peer production, he <a href="http://poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2006/09/p2p-blueprint-for-future.html">explained to me in 2006</a>, the network also encourages the creation of peer property (i.e. commonly owned property), and peer governance (governance based on civil society rather than representative democracy).</div><div>Moreover, what is striking about peer production is that it emerges and operates outside traditional power structures and market systems. And when those operating in this domain seek funding they increasingly turn not to the established banking system, but to new P2P practices like crowdfunding and social lending.</div><div>When in 2006 I asked Bauwens what the new world he envisages would look like in practice he replied, “I see a P2P civilisation that would have to be post-capitalist, in the sense that human survival cannot co-exist with a system that destroys the biosphere; but it will nevertheless have a thriving marketplace. At the core of such a society — where immaterial production is the primary form — would be the production of value through non-reciprocal peer production, most likely supported through a basic income.”</div><h2>Unrealistic and utopian?</h2><div> So convinced was he of the potential of P2P that in 2005 Bauwens created the <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/">Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives</a>. The goal: to “research, document and promote peer-to-peer principles”</div><div>Critics dismiss Bauwens’ ideas as unrealistic and utopian, and indeed in the eight years since I first spoke with him much has happened that might seem to support the sceptics. Rather than being discredited by the 2008 financial crisis, for instance, traditional markets and neoliberalism have tightened their grip on societies, in all parts of the world.</div><div>At the same time, the democratic potential and openness Bauwens sees as characteristic of the network is being eroded in a number of ways. While social networking platforms like Facebook enable the kind of sharing and collaboration Bauwens sees lying at the heart of a P2P society, for instance, there is a growing sense that these services are in fact exploitative, not least because the significant value created by the users of these services is being monetised not for the benefit of the users themselves, but for the exclusive benefit of the large corporations that own them.</div><div>We have also seen a huge growth in proprietary mobile devices, along with the flood of apps needed to run on them — a development that caused Wired’s former editor-in-chief <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Anderson_%28writer%29">Chris Anderson</a> to <a href="http://www.wired.com/2010/08/ff_webrip">conclude</a> that we are witnessing a dramatic move “from the wide-open Web to semi closed platforms”. And this new paradigm, he added, simply “reflects the inevitable course of capitalism”.</div><div>In other words, rather than challenging or side-lining the traditional market and neoliberalism, the network seems destined to be appropriated by it — a likelihood that for many was underlined by the recent <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-net-neutrality-20140114-story.html#page=1">striking down</a> of the US net neutrality regulations.</div><div>It would also appear that some of the open movements are gradually being appropriated and/or subverted by commercial interests (e.g. the <a href="http://poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-state-of-open-access.html">open access</a> and open educational resources movements).</div><div>While conceding that a capitalist version of P2P has begun to emerge, Bauwens argues that this simply makes it all the more important to support and promote social forms of P2P. And here, he suggests, the signs are positive, with the number of free and open movements continuing to grow and the P2P model bleeding out of the world of “immaterial production” to encompass material production too — e.g. with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_design">open design</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hardware">open hardware</a> movements, a development encouraged by the growing use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_printing">3D printers</a>.</div><div>Bauwens also points to a growth in mutualisation, and the emergence of new practices based around the sharing of physical resources and equipment.</div><div>Interestingly, these latter developments are often less visible than one might expect because much of what is happening in this area appears to be taking place outside the view of mainstream media in the global north.</div><div>Finally, says Bauwens, the P2P movement, or commoning (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bollier">as some prefer to call it</a>), is becoming increasingly politicised. Amongst other things, this has seen the rise of new political parties like the various <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party">Pirate Parties</a>.</div><div>Above all, Bauwens believes that the long-term success of P2P is assured because its philosophy and practices are far more sustainable than the current market-based system. “Today, we consider nature infinite and we believe that infinite resources should be made scarce in order to protect monopolistic players,” he says below. “Tomorrow, we need to consider nature as a finite resource, and we should respect the abundance of nature and the human spirit.”</div><h2>Periphery to mainstream</h2><div>And as the need for sustainability becomes ever more apparent, more people will doubtless want to listen to what Bauwens has to say. Indeed, what better sign that P2P could be about to move from the periphery to the mainstream than an invitation Bauwens received last year from three Ecuadorian governmental institutions, who asked him to lead a team tasked with coming up with proposals for transitioning the country to a society based on free and open knowledge.</div><div>The organisation overseeing the project is the FLOK Society (free, libre, open knowledge). As “commoner” <a href="http://bollier.org/about">David Bollier</a> <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/bauwens-joins-ecuador-planning-commons-based-peer-production-economy">explained</a> when the project was announced, Bauwens’ team was asked to look at many interrelated themes, “including open education; open innovation and science; ‘arts and meaning-making activities’; open design commons; distributed manufacturing; and sustainable agriculture; and open machining.”</div><div>Bollier added, “The research will also explore enabling legal and institutional frameworks to support open productive capacities; new sorts of open technical infrastructures and systems for privacy, security, data ownership and digital rights; and ways to mutualise the physical infrastructures of collective life and promote collaborative consumption.”</div><div>In other words, said Bollier, Ecuador “does not simply assume — as the ‘developed world’ does — that more iPhones and microwave ovens will bring about prosperity, modernity and happiness.”</div><div>Rather it is looking for sustainable solutions that foster “social and territorial equality, cohesion, and integration with diversity.”</div><div>The upshot: In April Bauwens’ team published a series of <a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Pl">proposals</a> intended to transition Ecuador to what he calls a sustainable civic P2P economy. And these proposals will be discussed at a summit to be held this week in the capital of Ecuador (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quito">Quito</a>).</div><div>“As you can see from our proposals, we aim for a simultaneous transformation of civil society, the market and public authorities,” says Bauwens. “And we do this without inventing or imposing utopias, but by extending the working prototypes from the commoners and peer producers themselves.”</div><div>But Bauwens knows that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and he realises that he has taken on a huge task, one fraught with difficulties. Even the process of putting the proposals together has presented him and his team with considerable challenges. Shortly after they arrived in Ecuador, for instance, they were told that the project had been defunded (funding that was fortunately later reinstated). And for the moment it remains unclear whether many (or any) of the FLOK proposals will ever see the light of day.</div><div>Bauwens is nevertheless upbeat. Whatever the outcome in Ecuador, he says, an important first stab has been made at creating a template for transitioning a nation state from today’s broken model to a post-capitalist social knowledge society.</div><div>“What we have now that we didn’t have before, regardless of implementation in Ecuador, is the first global commons-oriented transition plan, and several concrete legislative proposals,” he says. “They are far from perfect, but they will be a reference that other locales, cities, (bio)regions and states will be able to make their own adapted versions of it.”</div><div>In the Q&A below Bauwens discusses the project in more detail, including the background to it, and the challenges that he and the FLOK Society have faced.</div><h2>The interview begins</h2><div>RP: We last spoke in 2006 when you discussed your ideas on a P2P (peer-to-peer) society (which I think <a href="http://www.bollier.org/">David Bollier</a> refers to as “commoning”). Briefly, what has been learned since then about the opportunities and challenges of trying to create a P2P society, and how have your thoughts on P2P changed/developed as a result?</div><div>MB: At the time, P2P dynamics were mostly visible in the process of “immaterial production”, i.e. productive communities that created commons of knowledge and code. The trend has since embraced material production itself, through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_design">open design</a> that is linked to the production of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hardware">open hardware</a> machinery.</div><div>Another trend is the mutualisation of physical resources. We’ve seen on the one hand an explosion in the mutualisation of open workspaces (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace">hackerspaces</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab">fab labs</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking">co-working</a>) and the explosion of the so-called sharing economy and collaborative consumption.</div><div>This is of course linked to the emergence of distributed practices and technologies for finance (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdfunding">crowd funding</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_lending">social lending</a>); and for machinery itself (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_printing">3D printing</a> and other forms of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_manufacturing">distributed manufacturing</a>). Hence the emergence and growth of P2P dynamics is now clearly linked to the “distribution of everything”.</div><div>There is today no place we go where social P2P initiatives are not developing and not exponentially growing. P2P is now a social fact.</div><div>Since the crisis of 2008, we are also seeing much more clearly the political and economic dimension of P2P. There is now both a clearly capitalist P2P sector (renting and working for free is now called sharing, which is putting downward pressure on income levels) and a clearly social one. First of all, the generalised crisis of our economic system has pushed more people to search for such practical alternatives. Second, most P2P dynamics are clearly controlled by economic forces, i.e. the new “netarchical” (hierarchy of the network) platforms.</div><div>Finally, we see the increasing politicisation of P2P, with the emergence of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party">Pirate Parties</a>, network parties (Partido X in Spain) etc.</div><div>We have now to decide more clearly than before whether we want more autonomous peer production, i.e. making sure that the domination of the free social logic of permissionless aggregation is directly linked to the capacity to generate self-managed livelihoods, or, if we are happy with a system in which this value creation is controlled and exploited by platform owners and other intermediaries.</div><div>The result of all of this is that my own thoughts are now more directly political. We have developed concrete proposals and strategies to create P2P-based counter-economies that are de-linked from the accumulation of capital, but focused on cooperative accumulation and the autonomy of commons production.</div><div>RP: Indeed and last year you were <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/bauwens-joins-ecuador-planning-commons-based-peer-production-economy">asked to lead a team</a> to come up with proposals to “remake the roots of Ecuador’s economy, setting off a transition into a society of free and open knowledge”. As I understand it, this would be based on the principles of open networks, peer production and commoning. Can you say something about the project and what you hope it will lead to? Has the Ecuadoran government itself commissioned you, or a government or non-government agency in Ecuador? </div><div>MB: The project, called <a href="http://floksociety.org/">FLOKSociety.org</a>, was commissioned by three Ecuadorian governmental institutions, i.e. the <a href="http://www.conocimiento.gob.ec/">Coordinating Ministry of Knowledge and Human Talent</a>, the <a href="http://www.senescyt.gob.ec/web/guest">SENESCYT</a> (Secretaría Nacional de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación) and the <a href="http://iaen.edu.ec/">IAEN</a> (Instituto de Altos Estudios del Estado).</div><div>The legitimacy and logic of the project comes from the <a href="http://www.unosd.org/content/documents/96National%20Plan%20for%20Good%20Living%20Ecuador.pdf">National Plan of Ecuador</a>, which is centred around the concept of Good Living (<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/blog/buen-vivir-philosophy-south-america-eduardo-gudynas">Buen Vivir</a>), which is a non-reductionist, non-exclusive material way to look at the economy and social life, inspired by the traditional values of the indigenous people of the Andes. The aim of FLOK is to add “Good Knowledge” as an enabler and facilitator of the good life.</div><div>The important point to make is that it is impossible for countries and people that are still in neo-colonial dependencies to evolve to more fair societies without access to shareable knowledge. And this knowledge, expressed in diverse commons that correspond to the different domains of social life (education, science, agriculture, industry), cannot itself thrive without also looking at both the material and immaterial conditions that will enable their creation and expansion.</div><h2>FLOK summit</h2><div>RP: To this end you have put together a transition plan. This includes <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/ecuador%E2%80%99s-pathbreaking-plan-commons-based-peer-production-update">a series of proposals</a> (available <a href="https://floksociety.co-ment.com/text/">here</a>), and a main report (<a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan">here</a>). I assume your plan might or might not be taken up by Ecuador. What is the procedure for taking it forward, and how optimistic are you that Ecuador will embark on the transition you envisage?</div><div>MB: The transition plan provides a framework for moving from an economy founded on what we call “cognitive” and “netarchical” capitalism (based respectively on the exploitation through IP rents or social media platforms) to a “mature P2P-based civic economy”.</div><div>The logic here is that the dominant economic forms today are characterised by a value crisis, one in which value is extracted but it doesn’t flow back to the creators of the value. The idea is to transition to an economy in which this value feedback loop is restored.</div><div>So about fifteen of our policy proposals apply this general idea to specific domains, and suggest how open knowledge commons can be created and expanded in these particular areas.</div><div>We published these proposals on April 1st in <a href="http://www.co-ment.com/">co-ment</a>, an open source software that allows people to comment on specific concepts, phrases or paragraphs.</div><div>This week (May 27th to 30th) the crucial <a href="http://cumbredelbuenconocer.ec/">FLOK summit</a> is taking place to discuss the proposals. This will bring together government institutions, social movement advocates, and experts, from both Ecuador and abroad.</div><div>The idea is to devote three days to reaching a consensus amongst these different groups, and then try and get agreement with the governmental institutions able to carry out the proposals.</div><div>So there will be two filters: the summit itself, and then the subsequent follow-up, which will clearly face opposition from different interests.</div><div>This is not an easy project, since it is not possible to achieve all this by decree.</div><div>RP: Earlier this year you made a series of <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/flok-society-vision-post-capitalist-economy">videos</a> discussing the issues arising from what you are trying to do — which is essentially to create “a post-capitalist social knowledge society”, or “open commons-based knowledge society”. In one video you discuss three different value regimes, and I note you referred to these in your last answer — i.e. cognitive capitalism, netarchical capitalism and a civic P2P economy. Can you say a little more about how these three different regimes differ and why in your view P2P is a better approach than the other two?</div><div>MB: I define cognitive capitalism as a regime in which value is generated through a combination of rent extraction from the control of intellectual property and the control of global production networks, and expressed in terms of monetisation.</div><div>What we have learned is that the democratisation of networks, which also provides a new means of production and value distribution, means that this type of value extraction is harder and harder to achieve, and it can only be maintained either by increased legal suppression (which erodes legitimacy) and outright technological sabotage (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management">DRM</a>). Both of these strategies are not sustainable in the long term.</div><div>What we have also learned is that the network has caused a new model to emerge, one adapted to the P2P age, and which I call netarchical capitalism, i.e. “the hierarchy of the network”. In this model, we see the direct exploitation of human cooperation by means of proprietary platforms that both enable and exploit human cooperation. Crucially, while their value is derived from our communication, sharing and cooperation (an empty platform has no value), and on the use value that we are exponentially creating (Google, Facebook don’t produce the content, we do), the exchange value is exclusively extracted by the platform owners. This is unsustainable because it is easy to see that a regime in which the creators of the value get no income at all from their creation is not workable in the long; and so it poses problems for capitalism. After all, who is going to buy goods if they have no income?</div><div>So the key issue is: how do we recreate the value loop between creation, distribution, and income? The answer for me is the creation of a mature P2P civic economy that combines open contributory communities, ethical entrepreneurial coalitions able to create livelihoods for the commoners, and for-benefit institutions that can “enable and empower the infrastructure of cooperation”.</div><div>Think of the core model of our economy as the Linux economy writ large, but one in which the enterprises are actually in the hands of the value creators themselves. Imagine this micro-economic model on the macro scale of a whole society. Civil society becomes a series of commonses with citizens as contributors; the shareholding market becomes an ethical stakeholder marketplace; and the state becomes a partner state, which “enables and empowers social production” through the commonication of public services and public-commons partnerships.</div><h2>Challenges and distrust</h2><div>RP: As you indicated earlier, it is not an easy project that you have embarked on in Ecuador, particularly as it is an attempt to intervene at the level of a nation state. Gordon Cook has <a href="http://www.cookreport.com/newsletter-sp-542240406/current-issues/287-cook-report-for-may-june-2014">said</a> of the project: “it barely got off the ground before it began to crash into some of the anticipated obstacles.” Can you say something about these obstacles and how you have been overcoming them?</div><div>MB: It is true that the project started with quite negative auspices. It became the victim of internal factional struggles within the government, for instance, and was even defunded for a time after we arrived; the institutions failed to pay our wages for nearly three months, which was a serious issue for the kind of precarious scholar-activists that make up the research team.</div><div>However, in March (when one of the sides in the dispute lost, i.e. the initial sponsor <a href="http://www.elciudadano.gob.ec/new-left-review-se-presento-en-ecuador/">Carlos Prieto</a>, rector of the IAEN), we got renewed commitment from the other two institutions. Since then political support has increased, and the summit is about to get underway.</div><div>As for Gordon, he became a victim of what we will politely call a series of misinterpreted engagements for the funding of his participation, and it is entirely understandable that he has become critical of the process.</div><div>The truth is that the project was hugely contradictory in many different ways, but this is the reality of the political world everywhere, not just in Ecuador.</div><div>Indeed, the Ecuadorian government is itself engaged in sometimes contradictory policies and is perceived by civil society to have abandoned many of the early ideas of the civic movement that brought it to power. So, in our attempts at broader participation we have been stifled by the distrust many civic activists have for the government, and the sincerity of our project has been doubted.</div><div>Additionally, social P2P dynamics, which of course exist as in many other countries, are not particularly developed in their modern, digitally empowered forms in Ecuador. It has also not helped that the management of the project has been such that the research team has not been able to directly connect with the political leaders in order to test their real engagement. This has been hugely frustrating.</div><div>On the positive side, we have been entirely free to conduct our research and formulate our proposals, and it is hard not to believe that the level of funding the project has received reflects a certain degree of commitment.</div><div>So the summit is back on track, and we have received renewed commitments. Clearly, however, the proof of the pudding will be in the summit and its aftermath.</div><div></div><div>Whatever the eventual outcome, it has always been my conviction that the formulation of the first ever integrated Commons Transition Plan (which your readers will find <a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan">here</a>) legitimised by a nation-state, takes the P2P and commons movement to a higher geopolitical plane. As such, it can be seen as part of the global maturation of the P2P/commons approach, even if it turns out not to work entirely in Ecuador itself.</div><div>RP: I believe that one of the issues that has arisen in putting together the FLOK proposals is that Ecuadorians who live in rural areas are concerned that a system based on sharing could see their traditional knowledge appropriated by private interests. Can you say something about this fear and how you believe your plan can address such concerns?</div><div>MB: As you are aware, traditional communities have suffered from systematic <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/biopiracy">biopiracy</a> over the last few decades, with western scientists studying their botanical knowledge, extracting patentable scientific results from it, and then commercialising it in the West.</div><div>So fully shareable licenses like the GPL would keep the knowledge in a commons, but would still allow full commercialisation without material benefits flowing back to Ecuador. So what we are proposing is a discussion about a new type of licensing, which we call <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License">Commons-Based Reciprocity Licensing</a>. This idea was first pioneered with the Peer Production License as conceived by <a href="http://www.dmytri.info/">Dmytri Kleiner</a>.</div><div>Such licences would be designed for a particular usage, say biodiversity research in a series of traditional communities. It allows for free sharing non-commercially, commercial use by not-for-profit entities, and even caters for for-profit entities who contribute back. Importantly, it creates a frontier for for-profits who do not contribute back, and asks them to pay.</div><div>What is key here is not just the potential financial flow, but to introduce the principle of reciprocity in the marketplace, thereby creating an ethical economy. The idea is that traditional communities can create their own ethical vehicles, and create an economy from which they can also benefit, and under their control.</div><div>This concept is beginning to get attention from open machining communities. However, the debate in Ecuador is only starting. Paradoxically, traditional communities are today either looking for traditional IP protection, which doesn’t really work for them, or for no-sharing options.</div><div>So we really need to develop intermediary ethical solutions for them that can benefit them while also putting them in the driving seat.</div><h2>Fundamental reversal of our civilisation</h2><h2></h2><div>RP: In today’s global economy, where practically everyone and everything seems to be interconnected and subject to the rules of neoliberalism and the market, is it really possible for a country like Ecuador to go off in such a different direction on its own? </div><div>MB: A full transition is indeed probably a global affair, but the micro-transitions need to happen at the grassroots, and a progressive government would be able to create exemplary policies and projects that show the way.</div><div>Ecuador is in a precarious neo-colonial predicament and subject to the pressures of the global market and the internal social groups that are aligned with it. There are clear signs that since 2010 the Ecuadorian government has moved away from the original radical ideas expressed in the Constitution and the National Plan, as we hear from nearly every single civic movement that we’ve spoken with.</div><div>The move for a social knowledge economy is of strategic importance to de-colonialise Ecuador but this doesn’t mean it will actually happen. However, the progressive forces have not disappeared entirely from the government institutions.</div><div>As such, it is really difficult to predict how successful this project will be. But as I say, given the investment the government has made in the process we believe there will be some progress. My personal view is that the combination of our political and theoretical achievements, and the existence of the policy papers, means that even with moderate progress in the laws and on the ground, we can be happy that we will have made a difference.</div><div>So most likely the local situation will turn out to be a hybrid mix of acceptance and refusal of our proposals, and most certainly the situation is not mature enough to accept the underlying logic of our Commons Transition Plan in toto.</div><div>In other words, the publication and the dialogue about the plan itself, and some concrete actions, legislative frameworks, and pilot projects, are the best we can hope for. What this will do is give real legitimacy to our approach and move the commons transition to the geo-political stage. Can we hope for more?</div><div>Personally, I believe that even if only 20% of our proposals are retained for action, I think we can consider it a relative success. This is the very first time such an even partial transition will have happened at the scale of the nation and, as I see it, it gives legitimacy to a whole new set of ideas about societal transition. So I believe it is worthy of our engagement.</div><div>We have to accept that the realities of power politics are incompatible with the expectations of a clean process for such a fundamental policy change. But we hope that some essential proposals of the project will make a difference, both for the people of Ecuador and all those that are watching the project.</div><div>For the future though, I have to say I seriously question the idea of trying to “hack a society” which was the initial philosophy of the project and of the people who hired us. You can’t hack a society, since a society is not an executable program. Political change needs a social and political basis, and it was very weak from the start in this case.</div><div>This is why I believe that future projects should first focus on the lower levels of political organisation, such as cities and regions, where politics is closer to the needs of the population. History though, is always full of surprises, and bold gambles can yield results. So FLOK may yet surprise the sceptics.</div><div>RP: If Ecuador did adopt your plan (or a significant part of it), what in your view would be the implications, for Ecuador, for other countries, and for the various free and open movements? What would be the implications if none of it were adopted?</div><div>MB: As I say, at this stage I see only the possibility of a few legal advances and some pilot projects as the best case scenario. These, however, would be important seeds for Ecuador, and would give extra credibility to our effort.</div><div>I realise it may surprise you to hear me say it, but I don’t see this as crucial. I say this because, we already have thousands of projects in the world that are engaged in peer production and commons transitions, and this deep trend is not going to change. The efforts to change the social and economic logic will go on with or without Ecuador.</div><div>As I noted, what we have now that we didn’t have before, regardless of implementation in Ecuador, is the first global commons-oriented transition plan, and several concrete legislative proposals. They are far from perfect, but they will be a reference that other locales, cities, (bio)regions and states will be able to make their own adapted versions of it.</div><div>In the meantime, we have to continue the grassroots transformation and rebuild commons-oriented coalitions at every level, local, regional, national, global. This will take time, but since infinite growth is not possible in a finite economy, some type of transition is inevitable. Let’s just hope it will be for the benefit of the commoners and the majority of the world population.</div><div>Essentially, we need to build the seed forms of the new counter-economy, and the social movement that can defend, facilitate and expand it. Every political and policy expression of this is a bonus.</div><div>As for the endgame, you guessed correctly. What distinguishes the effort of the P2P Foundation, and many of the FLOK researchers, is that we’re not just in the business of adding some commons and P2P dynamics to the existing capitalist framework, but aiming at a profound “phase transition”.</div><div>To work for a sustainable society and economy is absolutely crucial for the future of humanity, and while we respect the freedoms of people to engage in market dynamics for the allocation of rival goods, we cannot afford a system of infinite growth and scarcity engineering, which is what capitalism is.</div><div>In other words, today, we consider nature infinite and we believe that infinite resources should be made scarce in order to protect monopolistic players; tomorrow, we need to consider nature as a finite resource, and we should respect the abundance of nature and the human spirit.</div><div>So our endgame is to achieve that fundamental reversal of our civilisation, nothing less. As you can see from our proposals, we aim for a simultaneous transformation of civil society, the market and public authorities.

Chargement/Site + (Because the practices of commonin … Because the practices of commoning fly in the face of market culture, they are frequently misunderstood. What is this process of committed collaboration toward shared goals? people may wonder. How does it work, especially when many industries want to privatize control of the resource or prevent competition via commoning?Matthieu Rhéaume, a commoner and game designer who lives Montreal, decided that a card game could be a great vehicle for introducing people to the commons. The result of his efforts is “C@rds in Common: A Game of Political Collaboration.” “I see playfulness as a sense-making tool,” Matthieu told me. “People can play casually and be surprised by the meta-learning [about the commons] that results.”It all began at the World Social Forum (WSF) conference in Montreal in August 2016. Rhéaume decided to use the opportunity to synthesize viewpoints about the commons from a group of 50 participants and use the results to develop the card game. He persuaded the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation and Gazibo, both based in France, to support development of the game. Fifty commoners more or less co-created the game with the help of several colleagues. (The process is described here.)<iframe loading="lazy" title="Les communs en jeu ... de cartes" width="880" height="495" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ISGk4-pf2Ww?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>As a game designer, Rhéaume realized that successful, fun games must embody a certain “procedural rhetoric” and reward storytelling. He had enjoyed playing “Magic: The Gathering,” a popular multiplayer card game, and wondered what that game would feel like if it were collaborative.At the WSF, Rhéaume asked participants to share their own insights about the commons by submitting suggested cards in six categories. The first four categories consist of “commoners cards” featuring “resources,” “action cards,” “project cards” and “attitude cards.” Two other types of cards — “Oppressive Forces” cards with black backs – give the game its kick by applying “negative effects” to the “Political Arena” of play. The two negative effects are “enclosures” and “crises,” to which commoners must collectively organize and respond in time.Intended for two to five players, the game usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. It has enough of a basic storyline to be easily understood, but enough complexity and sophisticated twists to be unpredictable and interesting. The key objective of the game is to “create a Political Arena resilient enough to defend the commons against encroaching enclosures.” The players win when there are no more enclosure cards in the Political Arena. They lose if there are more than five enclosures present at any one time.The backs of the Oppressive Forces cards feature a conquistador with a spear and text reading, “I am here to take the commons.” One of the Oppressive Force card is “Trump Elected!” which demobilizes every commons campaign underway. Another OF card, “Old Inner Culture,” prohibits the discarding of “attitudes” cards (which might otherwise hasten commoning). A “Fear of the Unknown” card prohibits players from drawing new cards for one cycle.By contrast, the commoner cards feature such things as urban gardens, First Nations, degrowth and independent media. A series of “Attitude” cards affect a player’s capacity to cooperate.WSF participants submitted a wild diversity of 240 cards to Rhéaume giving many perspectives on commoning and enclosure. Rheaume used 120 of cards and his own knowledge of game design to produce the game, printing at a local printer. He tested C@rds in Common through 25 games and four design iterations, attempting to achieve a 50% failure rate (the forces of enclosure win). Players discovered that the complexities of cooperation grow as new enclosures introduce new variables. A game booklet describes how players can make winning more difficult (by accelerating the rate of enclosure threats and reducing the time allowed to build civil society).Rhéaume concedes that the first play of C@rds in Common can be challenging, but there are YouTube videos to help new players learn the game. (See this video introduction to the game as a project, and this « how to play » video tutorial.)Rhéaume would like to refine the game further – it still has elements of the WSF event, including some French-only cards – but he is pleased that the game helps introduce players into the commons worldview and start deeper conversations about it. Following most games, players reflect on what happened and tell stories about the successful collaborations that emerged and enclosures that prevailed.The game was released in February, first with a European launch overseen by Fréderic Sultan of Gazibo. There are now more than 70 decks of C@rds in Common (in French, C@rtes en Communs) circulating there [actually more than 100 are .The Canadian launch of the game will take place in Montreal on May 11 at 17:30 to 20:30 at 5248 Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal. To register for the (free) event, here is a link on Brown Paper Tickets.A deck of the game can be bought directly, at cost, via a commercial distributor, Game Crafters, at https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/c-rds-in-common, for $22.40. Until May 31, Canadians can acquire the game more cheaply by signing up for a bulk order at this webpage; Rhéaume et al. will then distribute the games to individual buyers.Let me add a charming historical footnote that Rhéaume sahred with me. On the back of each commoner card, there is a drawing of a farmer with the text, “Give me my leather coat and my purse in a groat. That’s some habit for a husbandman.”Those lines are from a song in a medieval mummers play, « The Seven Champions of Christendom. » The lyrics are a heated discussion between a servingman to the king and a free and independent husbandman (commoner) about the merits and liabilities of their respective stations in life. (The song originated from Symondsbury, near Bridport, Dorset, in England — so a shout-out to STIR magazine, which is based there!).A sample exchange between the servingman and the husbandman:[Servingman] But then we do wear the finest of grandeur, My coat is trimmed with fur all around; Our shirts as white as milk and our stockings made of silk: That’s clothing for a servingman.[Husbandman] As to thy grandeur give I the coat I wear Some bushes to ramble among; Give to me a good greatcoat and in my purse a grout [coarse meal], That’s clothing for an husbandman.The full lyrics of the song can be found here.. [Husbandman] As to thy grandeur give I the coat I wear Some bushes to ramble among; Give to me a good greatcoat and in my purse a grout [coarse meal], That’s clothing for an husbandman.

Across Europe and its neighbouring countries, more and more people are confronted with discrimination and exclusion on a daily basis – whether economically, politically or culturally. As a result, societies are becoming increasingly fragmented, extremism is on the rise, and the divisions between people – and between individuals and institutions – are growing ever wider.Migration, distrust towards traditional institutions and the widening gap between the idea of a democratic Europe and the reality of a divided continent are among the biggest challenges that we are facing at present. These challenges are not new, but they have reached a degree that directly affects existing systems and policies, both at national and European levels.Living with a constant flow of images and information that sustains a ‘permanent state of emergency’, we often adopt defeat, the feeling that there’s-nothing-to-be-done. However, in this worrying situation, it is heartening to see citizens gathering together and taking action: countless bottom-up local, national, and transnational initiatives are enthusiastically showing that there-is-something-to-be-done, and that a more democratic, inclusive, egalitarian, and caring society is not only desired but possible.In this continent of rapidly changing communities, building bridges to help us live alongside each other is an urgent imperative. We need to reinvent and jointly value our present and develop our future together. We need to recreate shared common values and foster open and inclusive communities and societies – with a focus on social justice and human rights.Co-hosted by Platoniq in Spain, ECF’s third Idea Camp will take place from 1 to 3 March 2017. Following local elections in May 2015, which have seen several major cities and smaller towns now governed by citizen lists of candidates, Spain is on track to reinvent itself amidst a hive of social, cultural, and political activism. The many exciting new challenges this hive of activity has raised include a more inclusive and participatory society, ‘a home for all’. Although not free from contradictions, there are many tangible examples across different sectors (cultural, political, economical and social) that interweave inspiring institutional and grassroots actions. The myriad of different cross-sectoral practices in Spain constitute a resourceful laboratory for sharing and highlighting ways in which communities can promote change in Europe.Organized in collaboration with Platoniq, Idea Camp will be held from 1 to 3 March 2017 in Spain and will bring together 50 participants whose innovative ideas demonstrate a firm commitment to encourage political imagination, encourage building links and contribute to the development a society based on the principle of social justice. Based on shared values, inclusion and openness, Idea Camp offers participants a unique opportunity to meet peers from all over Europe and its neighboring countries, whose practices are different carrier chatted. Following the call for ideas, 50 participants are selected on criteria. ECF cover for the duration of the Idea Camp, the cost of travel and living in Spain a representative for each idea. After the Idea Camp, participants will be invited to submit a concrete proposal for research or implementation of their idea. 25 proposals will be selected and will receive a fellowship and development to a maximum of € 10,000.Initiated in 2014, Idea Camp is organized within the framework of « Connected Action for the Commons », an action and research program developed by ECF in collaboration with six cultural organization established in Europe: Culture 2 Commons (Croatia), Les Têtes de l’Art (France), KrytykaPolityczna (Poland), Oberliht (Moldavia), Platoniq – Goteo (Spain) et Subtopia (Sweden).To submit your idea, please fill in the application form here: http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/idea-camp-call/et Subtopia (Sweden).

In particular, more than 10 billion Euros have been released in just a few months for vaccine research. Public investment and collective risk should go hand in hand with full transparency in the use of funds and research results. But the reality is very different.</blockquote>In normal times State support to medical research that takes place via funding of research programmes and public research institutions, partnerships with private firms, tax credits and of course, the purchase or reimbursement of health products, generally goes unnoticed. The billions being spent currently on for vaccine for Covid19 gives an unusually high-profile to the massive and dazzling involvement of public authorities in this medical research. This therefore justifies the common sense view that any effective vaccines that are developed should be considered and treated as common goods, i.e. an essential resource developed through a collective effort, whose production and access should be organised and governed in a transparent and collective manner.However, the opacity which usually prevails in the pharmaceutical economy and the control by a few actors, is still in place. On the one hand, countries with more resources are seeking to monopolise the first (and best) future vaccines through bilateral contracts with firms: the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, etc. have signed agreements with AstraZeneca, BioNTech and Pfizer, Novavax, Moderna, GSK, Johnson & Johnson, etc. They wish to cover themselves politically by securing access to possible vaccines for part of their population, but clearly do not feel more accountable than that for the use of public resources. They transfer massive amounts of public money to industry while leaving the corporations with property rights over future products, and keeping their people unaware of any of the details and the conditions of the use of the billions.The big pharmaceutical companies, on the other hand, are proving to be very bold and are using the situation to push their lobbying agenda forward. In addition to colossal public funding for Research & Development (R&D) they require the advance purchase of large quantities of the potential vaccines that will be developed. They also demand streamlined product registration systems that exempt them from providing all the data for efficacy and safety usually required, and at the same time they wish to be relieved of responsibility in the event of side effects and even be compensated by governments. Meanwhile they claim the need for confidentiality of contracts, clinical trial results, manufacturing costs and pricing structures for future vaccines – all in the name of business secrecy.The firms want to take the risk out of their actions as much as possible while still ensuring their profits. The public in contrast should assume the risks, both financial and health-related. The public finances and supplies hospitals, medical staff and volunteers by the hundreds of thousands throughout the world1. The public invests its resources without any guarantee of effectiveness or protection from dangerous side effects, or even any control over effectiveness or possibilities of dangerous side effects (since the requirements of the drug agencies are being revised downwards. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has led the way2 and the European Medical Agency (EMA) seems determined to do the same). The public to which we all belong does not have the capacity to appreciate what prices should be – since it has no access to cost data, nor to the exact sums that are granted to individual firms, the conditions under which these sums are allocated, or even to the CVs of the handful of « experts » who negotiate with the industry.The leaders of many Western countries condemned or ridiculed the positions taken by former US president Donald Trump, denounced those of conspirators and demagogues of all stripes, and claim to be the proponents of science, the real science, the one based on evidence and validated methods (« evidence-based »). However, under the pretext of urgency, the requirements are being scrapped, the transparency within the pharmaceutical field that has emerged in recent years as an imperative social demand and a political necessity is being pushed aside3. The collective risks that the world’s population is currently taking for the development of vaccines justifies public access to the results of vaccine trials in real time, to allow the greatest number of scientists (from the public, private and civil society sectors) to independently analyse the data and understand what these candidate vaccines will do not only to the virus but also to the organisms of the individuals vaccinated. This is especially true when testing technologies that have never been validated before (such as messenger RNA vaccines). And yet, things continue to be done in the secrecy demanded by a handful of firms – the new « double blind ».In these conditions, in demanding equitable access to the COVID vaccine, there is a growing feeling that this is above all a manoeuvre in the service of a few firms. In the name of the right to access, and because we know that there will be no effective fight against the virus on a global scale without sharing technologies, we demand access for all. But we cannot ignore the fact that, despite the rhetoric, no real solidarity is being put in place. The COVAX initiative is collecting crumbs, and behind what looks like a charity mechanism on the fringes, we are witnessing the consolidation of an international practice of pre-purchasing (« market advance commitment ») without clear information on costs, funding received by each companies, contracts or prices, the vast majority of which benefits the multinationals. The social demand for access then serves above all to justify the rush of public commitments without transparency or conditions; and one accepts turning a blind eye to an absurd economy, which corrupts science and medicine and makes global health look like a playground for financiers and other investment funds.As the experiences of 2020 have shown, and in particular with the fiasco in terms of care capacity and shortages of basic health products in wealthy countries, this global epidemic should lead us to seriously review the way we fund medical research and health: how we govern public resources, protect the public interest and involve the public in achieving access to health for all. Instead of this necessary reformulation of public health policies, we are witnessing a forced shift to a market logic that benefits only a few actors, and every day excludes a little more people from the right to health, in poor countries as well as in rich countries.(*) The practice of double-blinding in clinical trials consists of ensuring that neither the doctor nor the patient knows whether it is the active product being tested or a placebo that is being used. On the other hand the « double-blind » approach to research funding, which consists of refusing to make public, information on the use of resources and the results of trials leaving the public « blind », – is totally inappropriate. One scenario is designed to create impartiality and fairness the other to favour special interests and create injustice. 1 Many candidate vaccines have been or still are currently being tested in dozens of phase III trials, i.e. efficacy and benefit/risk ratio trials on volunteers; and nearly 200 candidate vaccines are being developed worldwide.

Tous deux ont échangé sur les biens communs et le projet Remix Biens Communs. Santiago Hoerth Moura a publié l’interview suivante en espagnol.<h4></h4><h4></h4><h4>Entrevista con Alain Ambrosi</h4><h2>Remix the Commons es una plataforma de intercambio multimedia</h2>Alain Ambrosi es de Québec, la ciudad de Montreal en Canadá y trabaja para una organización que se llama COMMUNOTIC como investigador asociado, y específicamente para un proyecto que se llama Remix the Commons o Remezcla los comunes que es un proyecto internacional de plataforma en la web.Por Redacción Pillku¿Cuál es tu experiencia de trabajo con los comunes?Mi experiencia de trabajo en los comunes empieza en la documentación de todo lo que se hace y lo que se dice sobre los comunes desde hace ya tres años. Empezando en el Foro Social de Belém en 2009, donde tuvimos el primer Encuentro Internacional Ciencia y Democracia, donde se habló de los commons. En este tiempo se hablaba de los bienes comunes, y la declaración final de este foro social mundial de Belém integró una declaración de recuperación de los Bienes Comunes. Desde este tiempo yo hice como siguiendo un poco las manifestaciones, conferencias, que se hacían sobre los comunes, hubo después la conferencia de Berlín organizado también por el Commons Strategies Group pero con la Fundación Heinrich Böll, era el primer encuentro donde la gente de los comunes materiales y de los comunes inmateriales se encontraron por primera vez digamos. Y fue en esta ocasión que hemos pensando y lanzado la idea de un proyecto que se llama Remix the Commons.Entonces contamos un poco en qué consiste Remix the Commons.Remix the Commons es una plataforma de intercambio de difusión, de producción, de documentos multimedia sobre el tema de los comunes. Es una plataforma socio-técnica, donde preferimos hablar más de lo socio que de lo técnico, y decir que es una plataforma que es un espacio de co-creación sobre los comunes. Entonces hemos empezado con entrevistas en todas estas reuniones, foros sociales, pero estamos integrando varios documentos sobre los comunes. Pero la plataforma no es solamente una cosa que va hacer sobre internet; es realmente un espacio de trabajo de co-creación, quiere decir que ya tenemos un montón de problemas que resolver, problemas técnicos que para nosotros es algo menor, pero a nivel jurídico legal porque vamos a hacer circular imágenes, videos, lo cual es un problema grande, y a nivel económico también, porque hay que sustentar este tipo de proyectos y ya tenemos varias ideas de trabajar a nivel de los comunes, porque nosotros nos consideramos com un bien común, quiero decir el proyecto Remix the Commons, queremos funcionar como un bien común, una comunidad de “partenarios” que van a decir las reglas propias, para ir adelante con el proyecto.Entonces tenemos otras dimensiones muy importantes, como la gobernanza, como cuáles reglas vamos a poner y, también, otra dimensión que me parece muy importante que es la dimensión intercultural porque es muy difícil, por ejemplo que hemos visto desde el principio en Berlín: hace dos años tenemos una serie de entrevistas, de series que hablan de los comunes en chino o en otros idiomas, y se ve que el concepto mismo de commons corresponde a algo bien profundo en todas las culturas, y a veces hay diferencias, etc., y entonces es un desafío que me parece muy grande eso, el de la interculturalidad, las traducciones, etc.Remix The Commons es un proyecto colaborativo sobre obras multimedia. Su objetivo es documentar e ilustrar las ideas y prácticas en torno a la cuestión del bien común en el proceso creativo.

Chargement/Site + (Spain’s recent municipal and regi … Spain’s recent municipal and regional elections have transformed the entire political scene. New citizen coalitions with roots in community groups allied with small progressive political parties won unexpected victories in several large cities. This, plus the fact that two new national political parties – Podemos and Ciudadanos – burst decisively onto the political stage in the regional elections, has blocked the bipartisan (PP-PSOE) system created with the 1975 democratic transition. Victorious in 7 major cities throughout the country, including the 3 largest ones (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia), these coalitions open the door to a different sort of transition, questioning the dominant political culture and mentality, and in most cases putting in place minority governments, thus obliging various parties to negotiate joint platforms. It is interesting to note that Podemos, the young political party that made a surprise showing in the 2014 European elections and made strong gains on the regional level this year, decided not to present its own candidates in the municipal elections, but rather participated in or – more frequently – supported the new citizen coalitions in various cities.<h2>Reinventing Urban Commons for the XXIst Century</h2>These newcomers to the municipal political scene identifiy with the Commons, and in some cases even include the term in their names : Barcelona en Comù, Zaragoza en Comun… A perusal of their programmes and of the manner in which they were developed demonstrates that this is not simply an empty phrase, but the reference to the Commons introduces instead a new political discourse and horizon and, above all, a new way of ‘doing’ politics. The new candidates-elect come from different social movements and this is their first experience in electoral politics. Their ‘non-parties’ are in general less than a year old but the organisations they come from have held massive mobilisations and won significant local victories. On analysis, the new political culture they aim for is rooted in the tradition of urban struggle now revisited and improved on the basis of the citizen movements that originated in the 2008 financial crisis, the indignados of 2011, and the successive ‘waves’ (mareas) that followed in the housing, health, education, culture and urban ecology sectors. The tradition of self-management and ‘self-government’ often rooted in libertarianism and long known as ‘municipalism’ has been revisited by the culture and practices of the many anti-growth, ecological, alter-globalisation, and cultural movements inspired by the spirit of the Indignados of 2011 with an impressive mastery and intelligent use of new technologies and audiovisual media.The challenges facing this new municipalism are enormous : the problems are illustrated by the findings of two international reports revealed immediately following the May 24 elections. The firsti underlined the explosion of the level of poverty since the beginning of the crisis (increase from 9% to 18%) while the secondii demonstrated an increase of 40% of the number of extremely rich during the same period. Adding to the general morosity by reiterating prevailing logic, the IMF seized the occasion, shortly prior to the investiture of the new municipal governments, to congratulate the Spanish government on its ‘encouraging’ economic results while publicly reminding it that it must continue its austerity measures by increasing indirect taxes, cutting health and education budgets still more and lowering wages. What else could be expected from the fans of austerity?<h2>The Re-dignified Good Life In Common</h2>But such dire pronouncements do not scathe the confidence of the new mayors whose campaigns were run and programmes built on an anti-austerity stance; they are already putting in place (Barcelona is a good example) some of the measures set out in their plan of attack for affordable housing, food, accessible public utilities and transportation, and a basic living allowance. They are dedicating an unprecedented quantity of resources for municipal governments to these measures in an explicit attempt to counter the ‘de-humanising’ effects of austerity policies and to ‘restore the dignity’ of the most vulnerable. But the declared intentions of the new municipal leaders go far beyond the emergency measures of the first few months of their term. They want to turn their cities into living experiments in promoting an urban Good Life that redefines economic and social policy and municipal responsabilities as well as democratic practices on the municipal but also the regional, national and international levels. In her inaugural speech as Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau called for the creation of a ‘network of democratic cities in Southern Europe’.<h2>Transparency and Participation</h2>This incipient revolution in political culture and practice is taking place with total transparency, with the creation of a code of ethics, cutting the salaries of the elected representatives and eliminating statutory perks (official cars, per diems, etc) and, above all, by wagering on the collective intelligence and active participation of local citizens. Indeed, many of them have already taken part in the municipal programme by contributing to its elaboration prior to and during the campaign in the many neighbourhood meetings and various ‘crowd-sourcing’ moments on virtual platforms. The resulting highly structured programme remains an open document and is in itself an invitation to participate. The web page of Barcelona en Comù boldly states : ‘The programme you have before you is a programme In Common and, as you can see, that requires a major change from traditional political programmes […] it’s a document that aims to be useful to dialogue amongst citizens.’ iiiDuring her inauguration ceremony, Ada Colau asserted that ‘it is indispensable to create a new form of governance’, reminding the crowd that she is but ‘one of thousands of neighbours’, that she plans to ‘govern by obeying’ and that if she and her team do not deliver on their programme promises ‘Kick us out!’. The thousands of people watching the ceremony on giant screens in Plaza Sant Jaume greeted her speech with shouts of ‘Yes we can!’ (Si se puede), echoing the slogans of the public meetings held throughout the campaign. In a crowd so dense that she could hardly make her way through, but clearly at ease surrounded by ‘neighbours’, comrades and partisans, Ada slipped into the discourse and manner of the ex-president and activist of the PAHiv. With her charming smile, she declared to the enthusiastic crowd that ‘governing will not be easy but we are not alone’ and called on them to show responsability and to actively participate. She concluded evoking the need for empathy and invited the crowd to organise a demonstration in support of the strking telephone workers of Movistar, present in the crowd, and whose struggle she has supported throughout the campaign. The tone has been set, and indicates that it is not only the Commons but also the spirit of the Indignados movement that has come to City Hall.<h2>The Realism of the Commons</h2>In an article titled ‘It’s time for realism’, Josep Ramoneda, columnist for the catalan daily Ara, compared the proposals of Barcelona en Comù to the latest demands of the IMF, demonstrating that the ‘nihilist utopias’ – a label often used by the media and the governing right wing PP party to denigrate progressive alternatives – are instead found in the proposals of the neoliberal hardliners, incapable as they have shown themselves to be of finding a solution to the economic crisis and deepening inequality. He concludes by affirming ‘Let’s be realistic, let us consider the common good’v – a somewhat astonishing comment in this newpaper reputed to be more interested in supporting independence than the Commons. A comment that also reveals that the Commons have come not only to Town Hall, but are emerging in the collective imagination and in political discourse.<h2>A Living Laboratory, an Invitation to Commoning</h2>The emerging glocal movement of commoners and their apprentices should observe closely what transpires in this living laboratory of the urban commons. There is a lot to learn from this commons in action about the nature of the commons, the process of commoning and the possible transition to a commons society. This is also a unique opportunity to contribute peer-to-peer with our own experiences and know-how, developed all over the globe in the many different socio-cultural contexts where the Commons are being reinvented in recent years.Alain Ambrosi, Barcelona, 17 June 20151 OECD, May 2015 <a href="http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/in-it-together-why-lne.ess-inequality-benefits-all_9789264235120-en">http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/in-it-together-why-lne.ess-inequality-benefits-all_9789264235120-en</a> 2 Capgemini and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Wealth Management.

In the 17th century, it has inspired the Diggers and Levellers and later protests against the enclosure of lands by the capitalist bourgeoisie. But it was repealed in 1971 by a conservative government, allowing the privatization of resources such as water for the benefit of multinational companies.Today, forests remain essential resources for housing, food sovereignty, and are essential for fighting environmental crises. A <a href="http://charteroftheforest800.org/">campaign</a> to celebrate the Forest Charter began in Britain in September and continues in November. The Lincoln Record Society has organized an international conference on the Charter of the Forest that began with a houseboat trip on the River Thames from Windsor to Runnymede, the place where was signed the Magna Carta. Experts presented the Charter of the Forest, its history and its contemporary implications. Participants were also able to see one of the original copies of the Forest Charter and participated in a guided tour of the Forest of Sherwood that (in France) we know through Robin Hood story.Today, there is a debate chaired by the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell MP, with Professors Peter Linebaugh and Guy Standing, and Julie Timbrell of <a href="https://thenewputneydebates.com/">New Putney Debates</a>. This debate is part of a week-long program (6) calling for the creation of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesday_Book">new Domesday Book</a>, a national census of UK landowners and the identification of the common goods as well as a new Commons Charter and Communities Charters. This is to question the notion of land ownership in a country where it is one of the most concentrated in the western countries, and to elaborate proposals, including a possible tax on land ownership, for a better distribution of rights and responsibilities to land.Thanks to Yves Otis for reporting the article <a href="https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/11/youve-never-heard-charter-important-magna-carta.html">Why You’ve Never Heard of a Charter as Important as the Magna Carta</a>Transcript of the Forest Charter: <a href="http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html">http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html</a> Forest Charter: <a href="http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html">http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html</a>)
Chargement/Site + (The violent destruction of the co … The violent destruction of the commons of the ZAD (Zone To Defend) of Notre-Dame-des-Landes by the French government is an infamous and revolting act. The current police offensive, led by several thousand gendarmes and CRS equipped with armored vehicles and helicopters is only the exercise of the purest State violence against a set of collective practices that are in progress or in preparation. This includes their fragile material conditions (buildings, meeting places, work tools, herds), and they are now destroyed by bulldozers and police squads.Since the first day of assault on the ZAD of Notre-Dame-des-Landes, the destruction of the farm of the «Cents Noms» was a true declaration of social and political war. The destruction of this place was by no means imperative given the criteria invoked by the government in its « communication ». Nicole Klein, Prefect of Loire Region(<a href="#note1" name="retour au texte1"> 1</a>), justifies the police operation by claiming that the «Cents Noms» had not submitted an agricultural project. This is obviously false: the inhabitants of this farm were carrying an alternative agricultural project and some of them had submitted a request for regularization.What is the real reason for this destructive rage? It is not the absence of a project, it is the nature of the projects that is at stake. The State and its representatives do not support the life forms that are experimented here and now, and for the past 10 years. These life forms prefigure a society free from the ownership logic in all its dimensions. From this point of view, it is of the highest symbolic value that the inhabitants and defenders of the zone propose the Assembly of Uses to take charge of the collective management of lands and spaces from the beginning. This solution would’ve had the advantage to straightly extend the experience initiated and pursued for so many years: to make the logic of the common use which is a logic of care and nurture, or to prevail over the logic of land ownership which is a destructive and deadly logic.It is not the « Constitutional State » that defends itself, as the Prime Minister affirms, it is a State of force that wants to eliminate as quickly and completely as possible all actions that could perform the principle of the Common: associations, consumers and workers cooperatives, agricultural and craft projects, convivial modes of exchange and of life. The government wants to prevent the invention of what is a real way of producing and living by using its excessive police force. It also wants to eliminate a solidary and ecological model of life that we need today.The State shows its true face here. It is not only protecting private ownership, but it is itself completely under the logic of ownership. It is the Owner State in war against the commons. It must be defeated at all costs to preserve the treasure threatened of the commons.

La monnaie comme institution du commun + (Antonio di Stasio dans cette séance met l' … Antonio di Stasio dans cette séance met l'accent sur le rôle crucial que la dimension monétaire joue dans la reproduction de la dynamique du commun qui suppose tout autant des mécanismes politiques qu’impersonnels de socialisation et de réification des rapports sociaux. Dans cette démarche, il prend en examen diverses contributions (Harribey, Couppey-Soubeyran, Marazzi, etc.) qui ont conçus de nouveaux modes de régulation de l’émission de la monnaie et du financement des activités en partant de la primauté des besoins sociaux et écologiques plutôt que de celle du travail abstrait et de la logique de la formule générale du capital (A-MA’). La thèse qu'il défend est que l’avenir du commun est indissociable de l'institution d'une monnaie du commun, si l’on ne veut pas le réduire à une enclave ou à une pure utopie, mais le penser comme un véritable mode de production potentiellement capable de conquérir une position hégémonique face aux logiques du public et du privé.e face aux logiques du public et du privé.)

It is to design an ambitious and popular process of learning and empowering people on their commons. It mobilizes activists, intellectuals and researchers from different geographical and cultural backgrounds and disciplinary who share the ambition to rebuild commitment and citizen participation on public property.Commons are goods or things that do not belong to anyone in particular, but whose use is common to all, and management established on a cooperative and democratic basis, ie it allows each to take part in the development of rules and decisions that affect himself.Examine commons from the point of view of production of social and symbolic links, is questioning how men are all together human community and how by accident or necessity, they can show their capacity to know or not that they are trying to consolidate this link or to lose it, how they are able or not to build and take care of commons (Abdourahmane Seck).Based on the experiences and issues specific to the African continent, the Commons Mapping Project in Africa is to develop methods of interpretation and representation, including mapping, of the issues relative to the commons, to systematize and to organize their mutual enrichment in an open and collaborative base for the purpose of empowering people.This project will contribute to the networking of commoners in Africa, and to strengthen their interaction with the rest of the world, through the sharing of visions and practices and the contribution to the development of methods and tools for mapping the commons.Folow this work (in French) in the <a href="http://wiki.remixthecommons.org/index.php/Communs_en_Afrique">wiki</a> of Remix The Commons and read more in the <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/fr/2014/07/cartographier-…uns-en-afrique/">French version of this post</a>.ix The Commons and read more in the <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/fr/2014/07/cartographier-…uns-en-afrique/">French version of this post</a>.)

The idea is to ensure full digital sovereignty over our work, exchanges and data in coherence with the vision set out in the Charter for Building a Data Commons for a Free, Fair and Sustainable Future.After having tested with Koumbit, an independent and solidary hosting company in Montreal, our ability to set up and manage some tools based on open source and the commons on a shared server, we designed a cooperation system based on a model similar to that of AMAPs, which we call the « Konbit numerique », in reference to the konbit of Haitian farmers. <a href="https://wiki.remixthecommons.org/index.php?title=Konbit">Konbit</a> numerique is a prototype of « computational commons » for commoners’ projects. It proposes a working infrastructure that makes it possible to gradually achieve the objectives of independence and sovereignty on information and communication technology.Our Konbit numerique consists of a group of identified users and a server administrator, Koumbit cooperator. It is based on a 6 TB server hosted by Koumbit in Montreal (<a href="https://nuage.en-commun.net">https://nuage.en-commun.net)</a>, in which are installed the applications we need, tools based on open source and commons: file sharing, calendars, task management, online editing of text documents, table, email,… and most importantly for us a wiki farm. This is coverering a large part of the current digital uses of our organizations.Users are involved in the governance, and as much as possible in maintenance. The work of the server administrator is handled by the collective through a monthly intervention time credit system. This includes, in addition to the time dedicated to server maintenance, time reserved for future technical developments that will be allocated according to the Konbit’s needs. The idea is therefore to jointly pre-finance a digital infrastructure dedicated to the collective. This infrastructure is not based on capitalist logic. It does not seek to make more profit in the perspective of extraction, but to satisfy the needs of the collective. It allows us to start a process to degoogling our digital practices.Each person involved in the projects of the partners, stakeholders of this initiative, has access to this space and uses it within the framework of their activities in relation to the commons. Each partner can contribute to the life and development of the konbit by subscribing one or more shares of solidarity support (suggested amount: 15 € – 20 $CAD per month, or according to the budgets and needs of the projects), and according to the principle which aims to decouple use and trade (principle 3 of the Charter mentioned above). We have set ourselves the objective of gradually expanding the first collective to a balance between technical need/capacity and finance/governance. It is estimated that about 20 members would be an interesting size of the collective. Then other Konbits could be created and allow a federated type of operation.The konbit numerique is not an open structure like a Chaton (online service open to all), or an alternative hoster, but an experience of self-management of computational infrastructure by its users. It is still a little early to draw lessons from this approach, but it is likely that this initiative allows organizations to embed digital sovereignty into their thinking on transition and take action. We hope that accompanying such processes could be a challenge of interest to free software activists.hinking on transition and take action.

Initially, the collective has a simple web site to identify and report content, mostly video, accessible online. At the same time, an initial series of video interviews was conducted at an international meeting in Berlin (2010). Others will follow the rhythm of World Social Forums or local initiatives in France, Senegal, Quebec first, and then in many countries on different continents. It quickly becomes necessary to allow each person to search by using key words in this documentation.<h1>From key words to the commons vocabulary</h1>When cataloging media objects on the Remix the Commons wiki (more than 500 media objects now), we describe the content of each production according to four axes which helps to position it in the field of the commons: object or resource to be commonified, stakes, associated actions and expected results. To date, more than 400 « key concepts » have been identified from the corpus gathered on the site. After that, ech concept is a card that uses the information on the Remix the Commons wiki, but also data from other sources accessible by using linking techniques by wikis and the semantic web. From each record, the user accesses information from the main documentary collections associated with the commons (P2P Foundation, Transformap, Digital Library of the Commons) and the large reference databases DBpedia, Wikidata, VIAF And WorldCat. Each concept is accompanied by definitions in several languages, resources published around the world that illustrate the point or refer to practices.This set of key concepts provides a vivid and moving description of the world from the point of view of the commons. This collection is freely accessible, usable by all and open to contribution. Although this work is still at an experimental stage, it opens up interesting perspectives in terms of research, the production and the dissemination of knowledge about the commons. Holes, gaps and nuances between sources of information, between languages and cultures can be identified, documented and discussed among the actors involved in the field of the commons.The vocabulary of the commons highlighted can support the emerging practices and contribute to the enrichment of the contents in Wikipedia and Wikidata, for example.

The commons can be understood as a bridging paradigm that stresses cooperation in management of resources, knowledge, tools, and spaces as diverse as water, Wikipedia, a crowdfund, or a community garden. Their Call describes commoning as:<ul>…the network-based cooperation and localized bottom-up initiatives already sustained by millions of people around Europe and the world. These initiatives create self-managed systems that satisfy important needs, and often work outside of dominant markets and traditional state programmes while pioneering new hybrid structures.</ul> The Assembly emerged in May from a diverse, gender balanced pilot community of 28 activists from 15 European countries, working in different domains of the commons. New people are joining the Assembly every week, and ECA is inclusive and open for others to join, so that a broad and resilient European movement can coalesce. It seeks to visibilize acts of commoning by citizens for citizens, while promoting interaction with policy and institutions at both the national and European levels. <H1>Part of a broader movement</H1> The rapid embrace of commons as an alternative holistic, sustainable and social worldview is in part an expression of unease with the unjust current economic system and democratic deficiencies. The commons movement has exploded in recent years, following the award of the Nobel Prize in Economics to Elinor Ostrom in 2009 for her work on managing common resources. It has also seen overlap with other movements, such as the Social and Solidarity and Sharing Economy movements, peer to peer production, and Degrowth.Michel Bauwens, part of the ECA who is also a prominent figure in the peer-to-peer movement, explains: All over the world, a new social movement is emerging, which is challenging the ‘extractive’ premises of the mainstream political economy and which is co-constructing the seed forms of a sustainable and solidary society. Commoners are also getting a voice, for example through the Assemblies of the Commons that are emerging in French cities and elsewhere. The time is ripe for a shoutout to the political world, through a European Assembly of the Commons.The Call includes an open invitation to Brussels from November 15 to 17, 2016 for three days of activities and shared reflection on how to protect and promote the commons.

Bauwens, a founder of the P2P Foundation, flew into Quito on Sept. 17 to begin collaborating towards a fundamental reimagination of Ecuador.Bauwens will lead a research team that is proposing to unleash a participatory, global process with an immediate implementation in Ecuador. The process will remake the roots of Ecuador’s economy, setting off a transition into a society of free and open knowledge.In the first semester of 2014, Bauwens will assist in setting up a global network of transition researchers. The P2P Foundation is a global network of researchers that is documenting the shift towards open, participatory and commons-oriented practices in every domain of human activity, but especially also the shift from collaboration on open knowledge and code, towards cooperation in open design, open hardware, open science, open government, and the shift towards open agricultural and open machining practices that have great potential for increasing the productivity and sustainability of farming and industrial processes.Ecuador is the first country in the world which is committing itself to the creation of a open commons knowlege based society. In order to achieve the transition to a ‘buen saber’, or ‘good knowledge’ society, which is an extension of the official strategy towards a ‘buen vivir’-based society, the Advanced Studies Institute (IAEN by its ]Spanish initials) in Quito, Ecuador, led by the rector Carlos Prieto, has initiated a strategic process, called the FLOK Society Project, which aims to organize a major international conference in March 2014, and will produce 10 strategic documents proposing transition policies towards the good knowledge society, which will be presented to the Ecuadorian citizens through intensive participatory processes, similar to those that took place for the establishment of the new Constitution and the ambitious National Plans, which set the guidelines for government policy.While Buen Vivir aims to replace mindless accumulative economic growth to a form of growth that directly benefits the wellbeing of the Ecuadorian people, Buen Saber aims to create the open knowledge commons which will facilitate such a transition. FLOK stands for ‘Free Libre and Open Knowledge. In order to establish these transition policies and documents, IAEN has connected itself with the global hacker and free software movement, but also with its extension in the many peer to peer initiatives that directly aim to create a body of knowledge for physical production in agriculture and industry.The P2P Foundation knowledge base has also focused on documenting new policy and legal frameworks being set up by sharing cities such as Seoul, San Francisco, and Naples ; and regions such as Bordeaux, Open Commons Region Linz in Austria, South Sudan, the Cabineto Digital of Rio del Sur, and more.

L’idée, l’envie de glossaire des biens communs est dans l’air du temps. Elle répond à un besoin qui s’est exprimée à travers diverses démarches. En avril dernier, le collectif Savoirscom1 à élaboré une première liste de termes à mieux définir tirés de son appel. Avec Remix The Commons, nous travaillons depuis le printemps sur l’organisation des documents à travers des « mots clefs enjeux des communs », qui doivent être définis en complément de la <a href="http://surface.syr.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1023&context=sul">cartographie des nouveaux communs de C. Hess</a>. De plus, chacun s’accorde sur la nécessité d’enrichir les définitions en français des termes en rapport avec les biens communs dans wikipédia et un <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Biens_communs">projet</a> vient d’être lancé dans ce sens qui sera nourrit par un atelier qui se déroulera le 15 octobre à Paris. Enfin, d’autres initiatives émergent s’inspirant du <a href="http://www.enmi12.org/glossaire/">glossaire des ENMI 2012</a> et de l’exploration du design des formes de communication et collaboration numériques par et autour de Knowtex et l’IRI. Ces initiatives se rejoignent et profitent du tempo de Panam en biens communs. A ce stade, le glossaire des biens communs est perçu comme une sélection de termes en rapport avec les communs qui méritent d’être explicités. La liste des termes d’un glossaire des biens communs n’est pas figée. La définition fait appel à l’usage de documents multimédia choisis, organisés selon différents formats avec au premier rang celui désormais classique de wikipédia. Ces démarches de publication sont participatives et explorent des scénarii d’expérience utilisateur. A ce stade, il s’agit d’explorer diverses voies et de tirer les leçons de l’expérience plus que produire en direct un produit fini. L’élaboration des premières listes de termes met en évidence la tension entre la problématique de la définition et celle de l’éditorialisation qui sou-tendent des projets plus ou moins explicites. Un premier croisement des termes utilisés dans le manifeste savoircom1 avec ceux de Remix the commons donne par exemple la mind map suivante réalisée avec Pierre-Carl Langlais. <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Biens-communs-wikipédia-20130930-e1381355634741.jpeg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Biens-communs-wikipédia-20130930-e1381355634741.jpeg" alt="Biens communs wikipédia 20130930" width="600" height="388" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2903" /></a> Le 12 octobre, l’expérience est décomposée en 3 processus. Un groupe se consacre à identifier des éléments (termes pertinents et contenus, supports, objets contribuant à les définir) en vue de les recomposer à travers un dispositif développé par le collectif Encyclopetrie (à l’initiative du <a href="http://www.enmi12.org/glossaire/">glossaire des ENMI 2012</a>. Un autre groupe, piloté par les porteurs du<a href="http://livemapping.fr/"> projet mind-mapping</a> fera un travail de cartographie dans le but de mettre en évidence les liens entre les termes du vocabulaire utilisé dans les conversations. Enfin un denier groupe de travail conduira des interviews audio autour de termes en lien avec les communs et de leurs définitions (inspiré de <a href="http://notesondesign.org/biens-communs-10-definitions-partie-2/">la démarche de Sylvia Fredricksson</a>. Cette démarche n’a pas vocation à interférer avec le déroulement ou rendre compte de manière exhaustive de la rencontre. Elle propose des formes complémentaires de lecture de l’événement.

The collaborative creation process will develop on an intercultural and interdisciplinary fashion, production and sharing of knowledge on legal tools that make alive the urban commons. Through workshops, camps, and cultural residencies, with the commoners, we will co-produce the Atlas (a mapping tool), that will be a place to meet and to interact for creating or recovering our urban commons.</blockquote><figure id="attachment_4247" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4247" style="width: 644px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Magna-Carta-1215-Document-num--ris---600x100.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-4247" src="https://www.remixthecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Magna-Carta-1215-Document-num--ris---600x100.jpg" alt="Fragment de la Magna Carta de la Cathédrale de Salisbury (UK)" width="644" height="46" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4247" class="wp-caption-text">Fragment de la Magna Carta de la Cathédrale de Salisbury (UK)</figcaption></figure><h1>The charters of the urban commons as inspiration</h1>Urban commons charters are rules of self-governance established by a community for their commons in their neighbourhood, city, region… They can be transformed into legal instruments that formally recognize the rights and sovereignty of individuals and of the community over their common goods. They are also an instrument for organizing commoning with a view to preserving, sharing and transmitting those common goods. They are accompanied by a multitude of activities, narratives, creations, illustrations, celebrations, and studies that are the heart of the commons culture and that we want to conserve and hand on from generation to generation.We aim to evolve within this commons culture to generate mutual inspiration and to nourish the imagination as well as the practices of the urban commons around the world.Documenting commons charters experiences in an iterative, collective, decentralized and self-managed manner is in itself a way of making a common culture. Our proposal is to develop and make available to commoners various modes of documentation adapted to sharing the experiences of commons charters.We plan to organise camps and cultural residencies and to collectively create an Atlas of urban commons charters through interactive mapping in semantic web.This process is intended to be exploratory, pragmatic, pedagogical and political; it is as well both interdisciplinary and inter-cultural. It allows commoners to formalise their experience, to link it with that of other members of their community and to share it with other communities. It also allows to share both the legal tools developed over time and the experience accumulated around the world (with input from legal experts and urban designers). It aims to make this process known and recognized as one of the mainsprings of democracy and of the good life in an urban environment.<h1>Learning from the historical and contemporary experience of the charters of the commons</h1>The documentation and facilitation activities on the commons in the context of remixthecommons led us to discover the wealth and variety of citizen initiatives and proposals on urban and broader territorial scaleson various continents. In the process of constituting a commons, neighbours and citizens consistently take the key step of creating and formalizing rules of self-governance. Innovative practices in this domain exist at the neighbourhood level (as in Dakar) and on the scale of entire cities (Bologna, Djakarta and others). The experiences that appear to us exemplary are those where citizen initiatives have been able to mobilise a broad range of expertise from various sectors (cooperatives, activists, architects, lawyers, urban designers, informatics, etc) in order to advance proposals that are at one and the same time innovative and pragmatic, that welcome, encourage, ensure and guide active participation by citizens in regenerating, constituting and managing urban commons.In Europe, the Italian examples of the self-managed cultural spaces, the AquaBeneComune in Milan and various municipal commons charters adopted in several cities are inspiring and hold the potential of being shared, remixed and adapted to other socio-cultural and political contexts.This blooming of urban charters is a stimulus for commoners apprentices to share and co-produce knowledge and proposals with their pairs.The consolidation of networks of commons activists on the European level has engendered a dynamic of exchange and intercultural cross-fertilisation. Recent seminars on the subject between France and Italy are an example.In addition, this collective mobilisation in favour of urban commons charters is a superb way of celebrating le 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, which profoundly marked the history of the commons.<h1>An invitation to collaborate</h1>We wish to implement a digital prototype of the atlas of the charters of urban commons. It will be co-created during a first workshop and improved by an iterative process. Workshops with people and online will stimulate documentation of existing charters and the creation of new adapted to their contexts and to their local rights. These actions will crossed scientific disciplines and popular know-how. And we will take care to have diversified processes of work and to ensure the sharing of data, of the design of uses and of the services inspired by the Atlas.We are pleased to invite to participate all the activists and researchers motivated by the commons, especially those part of the Francophone network of commoners, and the organizations such as Commons Josephat (Brussels), Marx Dormoy Labs (Paris) Days of Urban Alternatives (Lausanne), or the House of the commons (Montpellier), LARTES in Dakar, …etc, and the European collectives such as Comuns urban activists in Barcelona, P2p plazas in Madrid, …etc.This initiative will also lead us to collaborate with activists of the Rights to The City, such as in France, the Coordination “Pas sans nous! (Not Without Us!) and the Collective for Citizenship Transition, and the International Alliance of Inhabitants.Some municipalities and local governments are already committed to support the commons and have their own charter. They offer spaces which allow to experiment our approach. The Festival of the Commons at Chieri in Italy (July 2015) could be the first opportunity.<h1>The contribution of Remix the commons</h1>Remix the commons incubates the project. We will share our experience of intercultural and multilingual projects such as <a href="https://www.remixthecommons.org/en/2013/12/definir-les-communs-sur-une-carte/">Mapping the Definition of the Commons</a>, of co-creation processes (see « <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/art-com">The Art of Commoning</a>» ) and our knowledge of European networks, including France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

The first term of office 2015-2019 was held with a minority government and in a regional and national context that was politically and ideologically unfavourable to the development of a « new municipalism of the commons » and an « alternative way of doing politics » that Barcelona claimed to be « en Comù ».The time has come to take stock and, of course, many will have something to say about the achievements made by comparing them to the initial programme. But when we see on the one hand the concrete achievements that often go beyond or question the competences of a municipality (housing, mobility, civic income, health, immigration, tourism, feminisation of politics, energy and technological sovereignty, etc) and on the other hand, what has been done to put transparency in the relationship between the institution, the social movements and the neighbourhood assemblies and the research, for a co-production of policies, we can affirm that the results are generally positive.The commons movement members and the supporters of a new municipalism, can be pleased that, thanks to a coalition of social movements, that has had the courage (and it is necessary) to invest an institution impregnated with neo-liberal practices and a logic of political parties fights, that is often far from the needs and realities of residents, Barcelona remains one of the most dynamic laboratories of urban commons and a model to which to refer.The <a href="https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/digital/sites/default/files/pla_barcelona_digital_city_in.pdf_barcelona_digital_city_in.pdf">review of the digital plan</a> implemented during the first mandate proposed here is characteristic of the achievements, critical path and creativity of this laboratory.Here is how the city summarizes the principles of its action:<blockquote>Establish itself as a global reference point as a city of commons and collaborative production End privatisation and transfer of public assets in private hands, while promoting remunicipalisation of critical urban infrastructures Massively reduce the cost of basic services like housing, transport, education and health, in order to assist those in the most precarious strata of the population Institute a citizens basic income focused on targeting proverty and social exclusion Barcelona Digital City Plan (2015-2019) Build data-driven models of the economy, with real inputs (using real time data analytics) so that participatory democracy could model complex decisions Prefer and promote collaborative organisations over both the centralised state and the market solutions (start investing higher percentages of public budget in innovative SMEs and the cooperative sector) Build city data commons: decree that the networked data of the population generated in the context of using public services cannot be owned by services operators</blockquote>These principles are embodied in an action programme, the effects of which are detailed in this document. In addition to the emblematic 13,000 policy proposals from the inhabitants, of which 9.245 (72%) have been accepted, there have been 126 cases of corruption reported through the Transparency mailbox since 2017 or the inclusion of gender differences in the STEAM education and technological training programme.Finally, Barcelona, here as in other areas, is building on and strengthening city networks. It initiated – with New York and Amsterdam – the Coalition of Cities for Digital Rights and launched the campaign « 100 Cities in 100 Days » to defend 5 principles of digital policy:<blockquote><ul><li>Equal and universal access to Internet and computer literacy Barcelona Digital City Plan (2015-2019)</li><li>Privacy, data protection and security</li><li>Transparency, accountability and non-discrimination in data, content and algorithms</li><li>Participatory democracy, diversity, and inclusion</li><li>Open and ethical digital service standards</li></ul></blockquote>The cities of the Coalition are developing common roadmaps, laws, tools, actions and resources to protect the digital rights of residents and visitors.Alain Ambrosi and Frédéric SultanFor a more exhaustive assessment see the sector-by-sector assessment on the <a href="https://barcelonaencomu.cat/es">Barcelona Joint Site (in Spanish)</a> protect the digital rights of residents and visitors.

The team that put together the proposals is led by Michel Bauwens from the <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/">Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives</a>. What is the background to this plan, and how likely is it that it will bear fruit? With the hope of finding out I spoke recently to Bauwens.</div><div>One interesting phenomenon to emerge from the Internet has been the growth of free and open movements, including free and open source software, open politics, open government, open data, citizen journalism, creative commons, open science, open educational resources (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources">OER</a>), open access etc.</div><div>While these movements often set themselves fairly limited objectives (e.g. “<a href="http://cogprints.org/1702/">freeing the refereed literature</a>”) some network theorists maintain that the larger phenomenon they represent has the potential not just to replace traditional closed and proprietary practices with more open and transparent approaches, and not just to subordinate narrow commercial interests to the greater needs of communities and larger society but, since the network enables ordinary citizens to collaborate together on large meaningful projects in a distributed way (and absent traditional hierarchical organisations), it could have a significant impact on the way in which societies and economies organise themselves.</div><div>In his influential book <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Networks">The Wealth of Networks</a>, for instance, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yochai_Benkler">Yochai Benkler</a> identifies and describes a new form of production that he sees emerging on the Internet — what he calls “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons-based_peer_production">commons-based peer production</a>”. This, he says, is creating a new <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/macloo/networked-information-economy-benkler">Networked Information Economy</a>.</div><div>Former librarian and Belgian network theorist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Bauwens">Michel Bauwens</a> goes so far as to say that by enabling peer-to-peer (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_peer-to-peer_processes">P2P</a>) collaboration, the Internet has created a new model for the future development of human society. In addition to peer production, he <a href="http://poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2006/09/p2p-blueprint-for-future.html">explained to me in 2006</a>, the network also encourages the creation of peer property (i.e. commonly owned property), and peer governance (governance based on civil society rather than representative democracy).</div><div>Moreover, what is striking about peer production is that it emerges and operates outside traditional power structures and market systems. And when those operating in this domain seek funding they increasingly turn not to the established banking system, but to new P2P practices like crowdfunding and social lending.</div><div>When in 2006 I asked Bauwens what the new world he envisages would look like in practice he replied, “I see a P2P civilisation that would have to be post-capitalist, in the sense that human survival cannot co-exist with a system that destroys the biosphere; but it will nevertheless have a thriving marketplace. At the core of such a society — where immaterial production is the primary form — would be the production of value through non-reciprocal peer production, most likely supported through a basic income.”</div><h2>Unrealistic and utopian?</h2><div> So convinced was he of the potential of P2P that in 2005 Bauwens created the <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/">Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives</a>. The goal: to “research, document and promote peer-to-peer principles”</div><div>Critics dismiss Bauwens’ ideas as unrealistic and utopian, and indeed in the eight years since I first spoke with him much has happened that might seem to support the sceptics. Rather than being discredited by the 2008 financial crisis, for instance, traditional markets and neoliberalism have tightened their grip on societies, in all parts of the world.</div><div>At the same time, the democratic potential and openness Bauwens sees as characteristic of the network is being eroded in a number of ways. While social networking platforms like Facebook enable the kind of sharing and collaboration Bauwens sees lying at the heart of a P2P society, for instance, there is a growing sense that these services are in fact exploitative, not least because the significant value created by the users of these services is being monetised not for the benefit of the users themselves, but for the exclusive benefit of the large corporations that own them.</div><div>We have also seen a huge growth in proprietary mobile devices, along with the flood of apps needed to run on them — a development that caused Wired’s former editor-in-chief <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Anderson_%28writer%29">Chris Anderson</a> to <a href="http://www.wired.com/2010/08/ff_webrip">conclude</a> that we are witnessing a dramatic move “from the wide-open Web to semi closed platforms”. And this new paradigm, he added, simply “reflects the inevitable course of capitalism”.</div><div>In other words, rather than challenging or side-lining the traditional market and neoliberalism, the network seems destined to be appropriated by it — a likelihood that for many was underlined by the recent <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-net-neutrality-20140114-story.html#page=1">striking down</a> of the US net neutrality regulations.</div><div>It would also appear that some of the open movements are gradually being appropriated and/or subverted by commercial interests (e.g. the <a href="http://poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-state-of-open-access.html">open access</a> and open educational resources movements).</div><div>While conceding that a capitalist version of P2P has begun to emerge, Bauwens argues that this simply makes it all the more important to support and promote social forms of P2P. And here, he suggests, the signs are positive, with the number of free and open movements continuing to grow and the P2P model bleeding out of the world of “immaterial production” to encompass material production too — e.g. with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_design">open design</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hardware">open hardware</a> movements, a development encouraged by the growing use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_printing">3D printers</a>.</div><div>Bauwens also points to a growth in mutualisation, and the emergence of new practices based around the sharing of physical resources and equipment.</div><div>Interestingly, these latter developments are often less visible than one might expect because much of what is happening in this area appears to be taking place outside the view of mainstream media in the global north.</div><div>Finally, says Bauwens, the P2P movement, or commoning (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bollier">as some prefer to call it</a>), is becoming increasingly politicised. Amongst other things, this has seen the rise of new political parties like the various <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party">Pirate Parties</a>.</div><div>Above all, Bauwens believes that the long-term success of P2P is assured because its philosophy and practices are far more sustainable than the current market-based system. “Today, we consider nature infinite and we believe that infinite resources should be made scarce in order to protect monopolistic players,” he says below. “Tomorrow, we need to consider nature as a finite resource, and we should respect the abundance of nature and the human spirit.”</div><h2>Periphery to mainstream</h2><div>And as the need for sustainability becomes ever more apparent, more people will doubtless want to listen to what Bauwens has to say. Indeed, what better sign that P2P could be about to move from the periphery to the mainstream than an invitation Bauwens received last year from three Ecuadorian governmental institutions, who asked him to lead a team tasked with coming up with proposals for transitioning the country to a society based on free and open knowledge.</div><div>The organisation overseeing the project is the FLOK Society (free, libre, open knowledge). As “commoner” <a href="http://bollier.org/about">David Bollier</a> <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/bauwens-joins-ecuador-planning-commons-based-peer-production-economy">explained</a> when the project was announced, Bauwens’ team was asked to look at many interrelated themes, “including open education; open innovation and science; ‘arts and meaning-making activities’; open design commons; distributed manufacturing; and sustainable agriculture; and open machining.”</div><div>Bollier added, “The research will also explore enabling legal and institutional frameworks to support open productive capacities; new sorts of open technical infrastructures and systems for privacy, security, data ownership and digital rights; and ways to mutualise the physical infrastructures of collective life and promote collaborative consumption.”</div><div>In other words, said Bollier, Ecuador “does not simply assume — as the ‘developed world’ does — that more iPhones and microwave ovens will bring about prosperity, modernity and happiness.”</div><div>Rather it is looking for sustainable solutions that foster “social and territorial equality, cohesion, and integration with diversity.”</div><div>The upshot: In April Bauwens’ team published a series of <a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Pl">proposals</a> intended to transition Ecuador to what he calls a sustainable civic P2P economy. And these proposals will be discussed at a summit to be held this week in the capital of Ecuador (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quito">Quito</a>).</div><div>“As you can see from our proposals, we aim for a simultaneous transformation of civil society, the market and public authorities,” says Bauwens. “And we do this without inventing or imposing utopias, but by extending the working prototypes from the commoners and peer producers themselves.”</div><div>But Bauwens knows that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and he realises that he has taken on a huge task, one fraught with difficulties. Even the process of putting the proposals together has presented him and his team with considerable challenges. Shortly after they arrived in Ecuador, for instance, they were told that the project had been defunded (funding that was fortunately later reinstated). And for the moment it remains unclear whether many (or any) of the FLOK proposals will ever see the light of day.</div><div>Bauwens is nevertheless upbeat. Whatever the outcome in Ecuador, he says, an important first stab has been made at creating a template for transitioning a nation state from today’s broken model to a post-capitalist social knowledge society.</div><div>“What we have now that we didn’t have before, regardless of implementation in Ecuador, is the first global commons-oriented transition plan, and several concrete legislative proposals,” he says. “They are far from perfect, but they will be a reference that other locales, cities, (bio)regions and states will be able to make their own adapted versions of it.”</div><div>In the Q&A below Bauwens discusses the project in more detail, including the background to it, and the challenges that he and the FLOK Society have faced.</div><h2>The interview begins</h2><div>RP: We last spoke in 2006 when you discussed your ideas on a P2P (peer-to-peer) society (which I think <a href="http://www.bollier.org/">David Bollier</a> refers to as “commoning”). Briefly, what has been learned since then about the opportunities and challenges of trying to create a P2P society, and how have your thoughts on P2P changed/developed as a result?</div><div>MB: At the time, P2P dynamics were mostly visible in the process of “immaterial production”, i.e. productive communities that created commons of knowledge and code. The trend has since embraced material production itself, through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_design">open design</a> that is linked to the production of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_hardware">open hardware</a> machinery.</div><div>Another trend is the mutualisation of physical resources. We’ve seen on the one hand an explosion in the mutualisation of open workspaces (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace">hackerspaces</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab">fab labs</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking">co-working</a>) and the explosion of the so-called sharing economy and collaborative consumption.</div><div>This is of course linked to the emergence of distributed practices and technologies for finance (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdfunding">crowd funding</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_lending">social lending</a>); and for machinery itself (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_printing">3D printing</a> and other forms of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_manufacturing">distributed manufacturing</a>). Hence the emergence and growth of P2P dynamics is now clearly linked to the “distribution of everything”.</div><div>There is today no place we go where social P2P initiatives are not developing and not exponentially growing. P2P is now a social fact.</div><div>Since the crisis of 2008, we are also seeing much more clearly the political and economic dimension of P2P. There is now both a clearly capitalist P2P sector (renting and working for free is now called sharing, which is putting downward pressure on income levels) and a clearly social one. First of all, the generalised crisis of our economic system has pushed more people to search for such practical alternatives. Second, most P2P dynamics are clearly controlled by economic forces, i.e. the new “netarchical” (hierarchy of the network) platforms.</div><div>Finally, we see the increasing politicisation of P2P, with the emergence of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party">Pirate Parties</a>, network parties (Partido X in Spain) etc.</div><div>We have now to decide more clearly than before whether we want more autonomous peer production, i.e. making sure that the domination of the free social logic of permissionless aggregation is directly linked to the capacity to generate self-managed livelihoods, or, if we are happy with a system in which this value creation is controlled and exploited by platform owners and other intermediaries.</div><div>The result of all of this is that my own thoughts are now more directly political. We have developed concrete proposals and strategies to create P2P-based counter-economies that are de-linked from the accumulation of capital, but focused on cooperative accumulation and the autonomy of commons production.</div><div>RP: Indeed and last year you were <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/bauwens-joins-ecuador-planning-commons-based-peer-production-economy">asked to lead a team</a> to come up with proposals to “remake the roots of Ecuador’s economy, setting off a transition into a society of free and open knowledge”. As I understand it, this would be based on the principles of open networks, peer production and commoning. Can you say something about the project and what you hope it will lead to? Has the Ecuadoran government itself commissioned you, or a government or non-government agency in Ecuador? </div><div>MB: The project, called <a href="http://floksociety.org/">FLOKSociety.org</a>, was commissioned by three Ecuadorian governmental institutions, i.e. the <a href="http://www.conocimiento.gob.ec/">Coordinating Ministry of Knowledge and Human Talent</a>, the <a href="http://www.senescyt.gob.ec/web/guest">SENESCYT</a> (Secretaría Nacional de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación) and the <a href="http://iaen.edu.ec/">IAEN</a> (Instituto de Altos Estudios del Estado).</div><div>The legitimacy and logic of the project comes from the <a href="http://www.unosd.org/content/documents/96National%20Plan%20for%20Good%20Living%20Ecuador.pdf">National Plan of Ecuador</a>, which is centred around the concept of Good Living (<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/blog/buen-vivir-philosophy-south-america-eduardo-gudynas">Buen Vivir</a>), which is a non-reductionist, non-exclusive material way to look at the economy and social life, inspired by the traditional values of the indigenous people of the Andes. The aim of FLOK is to add “Good Knowledge” as an enabler and facilitator of the good life.</div><div>The important point to make is that it is impossible for countries and people that are still in neo-colonial dependencies to evolve to more fair societies without access to shareable knowledge. And this knowledge, expressed in diverse commons that correspond to the different domains of social life (education, science, agriculture, industry), cannot itself thrive without also looking at both the material and immaterial conditions that will enable their creation and expansion.</div><h2>FLOK summit</h2><div>RP: To this end you have put together a transition plan. This includes <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/ecuador%E2%80%99s-pathbreaking-plan-commons-based-peer-production-update">a series of proposals</a> (available <a href="https://floksociety.co-ment.com/text/">here</a>), and a main report (<a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan">here</a>). I assume your plan might or might not be taken up by Ecuador. What is the procedure for taking it forward, and how optimistic are you that Ecuador will embark on the transition you envisage?</div><div>MB: The transition plan provides a framework for moving from an economy founded on what we call “cognitive” and “netarchical” capitalism (based respectively on the exploitation through IP rents or social media platforms) to a “mature P2P-based civic economy”.</div><div>The logic here is that the dominant economic forms today are characterised by a value crisis, one in which value is extracted but it doesn’t flow back to the creators of the value. The idea is to transition to an economy in which this value feedback loop is restored.</div><div>So about fifteen of our policy proposals apply this general idea to specific domains, and suggest how open knowledge commons can be created and expanded in these particular areas.</div><div>We published these proposals on April 1st in <a href="http://www.co-ment.com/">co-ment</a>, an open source software that allows people to comment on specific concepts, phrases or paragraphs.</div><div>This week (May 27th to 30th) the crucial <a href="http://cumbredelbuenconocer.ec/">FLOK summit</a> is taking place to discuss the proposals. This will bring together government institutions, social movement advocates, and experts, from both Ecuador and abroad.</div><div>The idea is to devote three days to reaching a consensus amongst these different groups, and then try and get agreement with the governmental institutions able to carry out the proposals.</div><div>So there will be two filters: the summit itself, and then the subsequent follow-up, which will clearly face opposition from different interests.</div><div>This is not an easy project, since it is not possible to achieve all this by decree.</div><div>RP: Earlier this year you made a series of <a href="http://bollier.org/blog/flok-society-vision-post-capitalist-economy">videos</a> discussing the issues arising from what you are trying to do — which is essentially to create “a post-capitalist social knowledge society”, or “open commons-based knowledge society”. In one video you discuss three different value regimes, and I note you referred to these in your last answer — i.e. cognitive capitalism, netarchical capitalism and a civic P2P economy. Can you say a little more about how these three different regimes differ and why in your view P2P is a better approach than the other two?</div><div>MB: I define cognitive capitalism as a regime in which value is generated through a combination of rent extraction from the control of intellectual property and the control of global production networks, and expressed in terms of monetisation.</div><div>What we have learned is that the democratisation of networks, which also provides a new means of production and value distribution, means that this type of value extraction is harder and harder to achieve, and it can only be maintained either by increased legal suppression (which erodes legitimacy) and outright technological sabotage (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management">DRM</a>). Both of these strategies are not sustainable in the long term.</div><div>What we have also learned is that the network has caused a new model to emerge, one adapted to the P2P age, and which I call netarchical capitalism, i.e. “the hierarchy of the network”. In this model, we see the direct exploitation of human cooperation by means of proprietary platforms that both enable and exploit human cooperation. Crucially, while their value is derived from our communication, sharing and cooperation (an empty platform has no value), and on the use value that we are exponentially creating (Google, Facebook don’t produce the content, we do), the exchange value is exclusively extracted by the platform owners. This is unsustainable because it is easy to see that a regime in which the creators of the value get no income at all from their creation is not workable in the long; and so it poses problems for capitalism. After all, who is going to buy goods if they have no income?</div><div>So the key issue is: how do we recreate the value loop between creation, distribution, and income? The answer for me is the creation of a mature P2P civic economy that combines open contributory communities, ethical entrepreneurial coalitions able to create livelihoods for the commoners, and for-benefit institutions that can “enable and empower the infrastructure of cooperation”.</div><div>Think of the core model of our economy as the Linux economy writ large, but one in which the enterprises are actually in the hands of the value creators themselves. Imagine this micro-economic model on the macro scale of a whole society. Civil society becomes a series of commonses with citizens as contributors; the shareholding market becomes an ethical stakeholder marketplace; and the state becomes a partner state, which “enables and empowers social production” through the commonication of public services and public-commons partnerships.</div><h2>Challenges and distrust</h2><div>RP: As you indicated earlier, it is not an easy project that you have embarked on in Ecuador, particularly as it is an attempt to intervene at the level of a nation state. Gordon Cook has <a href="http://www.cookreport.com/newsletter-sp-542240406/current-issues/287-cook-report-for-may-june-2014">said</a> of the project: “it barely got off the ground before it began to crash into some of the anticipated obstacles.” Can you say something about these obstacles and how you have been overcoming them?</div><div>MB: It is true that the project started with quite negative auspices. It became the victim of internal factional struggles within the government, for instance, and was even defunded for a time after we arrived; the institutions failed to pay our wages for nearly three months, which was a serious issue for the kind of precarious scholar-activists that make up the research team.</div><div>However, in March (when one of the sides in the dispute lost, i.e. the initial sponsor <a href="http://www.elciudadano.gob.ec/new-left-review-se-presento-en-ecuador/">Carlos Prieto</a>, rector of the IAEN), we got renewed commitment from the other two institutions. Since then political support has increased, and the summit is about to get underway.</div><div>As for Gordon, he became a victim of what we will politely call a series of misinterpreted engagements for the funding of his participation, and it is entirely understandable that he has become critical of the process.</div><div>The truth is that the project was hugely contradictory in many different ways, but this is the reality of the political world everywhere, not just in Ecuador.</div><div>Indeed, the Ecuadorian government is itself engaged in sometimes contradictory policies and is perceived by civil society to have abandoned many of the early ideas of the civic movement that brought it to power. So, in our attempts at broader participation we have been stifled by the distrust many civic activists have for the government, and the sincerity of our project has been doubted.</div><div>Additionally, social P2P dynamics, which of course exist as in many other countries, are not particularly developed in their modern, digitally empowered forms in Ecuador. It has also not helped that the management of the project has been such that the research team has not been able to directly connect with the political leaders in order to test their real engagement. This has been hugely frustrating.</div><div>On the positive side, we have been entirely free to conduct our research and formulate our proposals, and it is hard not to believe that the level of funding the project has received reflects a certain degree of commitment.</div><div>So the summit is back on track, and we have received renewed commitments. Clearly, however, the proof of the pudding will be in the summit and its aftermath.</div><div></div><div>Whatever the eventual outcome, it has always been my conviction that the formulation of the first ever integrated Commons Transition Plan (which your readers will find <a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan">here</a>) legitimised by a nation-state, takes the P2P and commons movement to a higher geopolitical plane. As such, it can be seen as part of the global maturation of the P2P/commons approach, even if it turns out not to work entirely in Ecuador itself.</div><div>RP: I believe that one of the issues that has arisen in putting together the FLOK proposals is that Ecuadorians who live in rural areas are concerned that a system based on sharing could see their traditional knowledge appropriated by private interests. Can you say something about this fear and how you believe your plan can address such concerns?</div><div>MB: As you are aware, traditional communities have suffered from systematic <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/biopiracy">biopiracy</a> over the last few decades, with western scientists studying their botanical knowledge, extracting patentable scientific results from it, and then commercialising it in the West.</div><div>So fully shareable licenses like the GPL would keep the knowledge in a commons, but would still allow full commercialisation without material benefits flowing back to Ecuador. So what we are proposing is a discussion about a new type of licensing, which we call <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License">Commons-Based Reciprocity Licensing</a>. This idea was first pioneered with the Peer Production License as conceived by <a href="http://www.dmytri.info/">Dmytri Kleiner</a>.</div><div>Such licences would be designed for a particular usage, say biodiversity research in a series of traditional communities. It allows for free sharing non-commercially, commercial use by not-for-profit entities, and even caters for for-profit entities who contribute back. Importantly, it creates a frontier for for-profits who do not contribute back, and asks them to pay.</div><div>What is key here is not just the potential financial flow, but to introduce the principle of reciprocity in the marketplace, thereby creating an ethical economy. The idea is that traditional communities can create their own ethical vehicles, and create an economy from which they can also benefit, and under their control.</div><div>This concept is beginning to get attention from open machining communities. However, the debate in Ecuador is only starting. Paradoxically, traditional communities are today either looking for traditional IP protection, which doesn’t really work for them, or for no-sharing options.</div><div>So we really need to develop intermediary ethical solutions for them that can benefit them while also putting them in the driving seat.</div><h2>Fundamental reversal of our civilisation</h2><h2></h2><div>RP: In today’s global economy, where practically everyone and everything seems to be interconnected and subject to the rules of neoliberalism and the market, is it really possible for a country like Ecuador to go off in such a different direction on its own? </div><div>MB: A full transition is indeed probably a global affair, but the micro-transitions need to happen at the grassroots, and a progressive government would be able to create exemplary policies and projects that show the way.</div><div>Ecuador is in a precarious neo-colonial predicament and subject to the pressures of the global market and the internal social groups that are aligned with it. There are clear signs that since 2010 the Ecuadorian government has moved away from the original radical ideas expressed in the Constitution and the National Plan, as we hear from nearly every single civic movement that we’ve spoken with.</div><div>The move for a social knowledge economy is of strategic importance to de-colonialise Ecuador but this doesn’t mean it will actually happen. However, the progressive forces have not disappeared entirely from the government institutions.</div><div>As such, it is really difficult to predict how successful this project will be. But as I say, given the investment the government has made in the process we believe there will be some progress. My personal view is that the combination of our political and theoretical achievements, and the existence of the policy papers, means that even with moderate progress in the laws and on the ground, we can be happy that we will have made a difference.</div><div>So most likely the local situation will turn out to be a hybrid mix of acceptance and refusal of our proposals, and most certainly the situation is not mature enough to accept the underlying logic of our Commons Transition Plan in toto.</div><div>In other words, the publication and the dialogue about the plan itself, and some concrete actions, legislative frameworks, and pilot projects, are the best we can hope for. What this will do is give real legitimacy to our approach and move the commons transition to the geo-political stage. Can we hope for more?</div><div>Personally, I believe that even if only 20% of our proposals are retained for action, I think we can consider it a relative success. This is the very first time such an even partial transition will have happened at the scale of the nation and, as I see it, it gives legitimacy to a whole new set of ideas about societal transition. So I believe it is worthy of our engagement.</div><div>We have to accept that the realities of power politics are incompatible with the expectations of a clean process for such a fundamental policy change. But we hope that some essential proposals of the project will make a difference, both for the people of Ecuador and all those that are watching the project.</div><div>For the future though, I have to say I seriously question the idea of trying to “hack a society” which was the initial philosophy of the project and of the people who hired us. You can’t hack a society, since a society is not an executable program. Political change needs a social and political basis, and it was very weak from the start in this case.</div><div>This is why I believe that future projects should first focus on the lower levels of political organisation, such as cities and regions, where politics is closer to the needs of the population. History though, is always full of surprises, and bold gambles can yield results. So FLOK may yet surprise the sceptics.</div><div>RP: If Ecuador did adopt your plan (or a significant part of it), what in your view would be the implications, for Ecuador, for other countries, and for the various free and open movements? What would be the implications if none of it were adopted?</div><div>MB: As I say, at this stage I see only the possibility of a few legal advances and some pilot projects as the best case scenario. These, however, would be important seeds for Ecuador, and would give extra credibility to our effort.</div><div>I realise it may surprise you to hear me say it, but I don’t see this as crucial. I say this because, we already have thousands of projects in the world that are engaged in peer production and commons transitions, and this deep trend is not going to change. The efforts to change the social and economic logic will go on with or without Ecuador.</div><div>As I noted, what we have now that we didn’t have before, regardless of implementation in Ecuador, is the first global commons-oriented transition plan, and several concrete legislative proposals. They are far from perfect, but they will be a reference that other locales, cities, (bio)regions and states will be able to make their own adapted versions of it.</div><div>In the meantime, we have to continue the grassroots transformation and rebuild commons-oriented coalitions at every level, local, regional, national, global. This will take time, but since infinite growth is not possible in a finite economy, some type of transition is inevitable. Let’s just hope it will be for the benefit of the commoners and the majority of the world population.</div><div>Essentially, we need to build the seed forms of the new counter-economy, and the social movement that can defend, facilitate and expand it. Every political and policy expression of this is a bonus.</div><div>As for the endgame, you guessed correctly. What distinguishes the effort of the P2P Foundation, and many of the FLOK researchers, is that we’re not just in the business of adding some commons and P2P dynamics to the existing capitalist framework, but aiming at a profound “phase transition”.</div><div>To work for a sustainable society and economy is absolutely crucial for the future of humanity, and while we respect the freedoms of people to engage in market dynamics for the allocation of rival goods, we cannot afford a system of infinite growth and scarcity engineering, which is what capitalism is.</div><div>In other words, today, we consider nature infinite and we believe that infinite resources should be made scarce in order to protect monopolistic players; tomorrow, we need to consider nature as a finite resource, and we should respect the abundance of nature and the human spirit.</div><div>So our endgame is to achieve that fundamental reversal of our civilisation, nothing less. As you can see from our proposals, we aim for a simultaneous transformation of civil society, the market and public authorities.

Chargement/Site + (Because the practices of commonin … Because the practices of commoning fly in the face of market culture, they are frequently misunderstood. What is this process of committed collaboration toward shared goals? people may wonder. How does it work, especially when many industries want to privatize control of the resource or prevent competition via commoning?Matthieu Rhéaume, a commoner and game designer who lives Montreal, decided that a card game could be a great vehicle for introducing people to the commons. The result of his efforts is “C@rds in Common: A Game of Political Collaboration.” “I see playfulness as a sense-making tool,” Matthieu told me. “People can play casually and be surprised by the meta-learning [about the commons] that results.”It all began at the World Social Forum (WSF) conference in Montreal in August 2016. Rhéaume decided to use the opportunity to synthesize viewpoints about the commons from a group of 50 participants and use the results to develop the card game. He persuaded the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation and Gazibo, both based in France, to support development of the game. Fifty commoners more or less co-created the game with the help of several colleagues. (The process is described here.)<iframe loading="lazy" title="Les communs en jeu ... de cartes" width="880" height="495" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ISGk4-pf2Ww?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>As a game designer, Rhéaume realized that successful, fun games must embody a certain “procedural rhetoric” and reward storytelling. He had enjoyed playing “Magic: The Gathering,” a popular multiplayer card game, and wondered what that game would feel like if it were collaborative.At the WSF, Rhéaume asked participants to share their own insights about the commons by submitting suggested cards in six categories. The first four categories consist of “commoners cards” featuring “resources,” “action cards,” “project cards” and “attitude cards.” Two other types of cards — “Oppressive Forces” cards with black backs – give the game its kick by applying “negative effects” to the “Political Arena” of play. The two negative effects are “enclosures” and “crises,” to which commoners must collectively organize and respond in time.Intended for two to five players, the game usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. It has enough of a basic storyline to be easily understood, but enough complexity and sophisticated twists to be unpredictable and interesting. The key objective of the game is to “create a Political Arena resilient enough to defend the commons against encroaching enclosures.” The players win when there are no more enclosure cards in the Political Arena. They lose if there are more than five enclosures present at any one time.The backs of the Oppressive Forces cards feature a conquistador with a spear and text reading, “I am here to take the commons.” One of the Oppressive Force card is “Trump Elected!” which demobilizes every commons campaign underway. Another OF card, “Old Inner Culture,” prohibits the discarding of “attitudes” cards (which might otherwise hasten commoning). A “Fear of the Unknown” card prohibits players from drawing new cards for one cycle.By contrast, the commoner cards feature such things as urban gardens, First Nations, degrowth and independent media. A series of “Attitude” cards affect a player’s capacity to cooperate.WSF participants submitted a wild diversity of 240 cards to Rhéaume giving many perspectives on commoning and enclosure. Rheaume used 120 of cards and his own knowledge of game design to produce the game, printing at a local printer. He tested C@rds in Common through 25 games and four design iterations, attempting to achieve a 50% failure rate (the forces of enclosure win). Players discovered that the complexities of cooperation grow as new enclosures introduce new variables. A game booklet describes how players can make winning more difficult (by accelerating the rate of enclosure threats and reducing the time allowed to build civil society).Rhéaume concedes that the first play of C@rds in Common can be challenging, but there are YouTube videos to help new players learn the game. (See this video introduction to the game as a project, and this « how to play » video tutorial.)Rhéaume would like to refine the game further – it still has elements of the WSF event, including some French-only cards – but he is pleased that the game helps introduce players into the commons worldview and start deeper conversations about it. Following most games, players reflect on what happened and tell stories about the successful collaborations that emerged and enclosures that prevailed.The game was released in February, first with a European launch overseen by Fréderic Sultan of Gazibo. There are now more than 70 decks of C@rds in Common (in French, C@rtes en Communs) circulating there [actually more than 100 are .The Canadian launch of the game will take place in Montreal on May 11 at 17:30 to 20:30 at 5248 Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal. To register for the (free) event, here is a link on Brown Paper Tickets.A deck of the game can be bought directly, at cost, via a commercial distributor, Game Crafters, at https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/c-rds-in-common, for $22.40. Until May 31, Canadians can acquire the game more cheaply by signing up for a bulk order at this webpage; Rhéaume et al. will then distribute the games to individual buyers.Let me add a charming historical footnote that Rhéaume sahred with me. On the back of each commoner card, there is a drawing of a farmer with the text, “Give me my leather coat and my purse in a groat. That’s some habit for a husbandman.”Those lines are from a song in a medieval mummers play, « The Seven Champions of Christendom. » The lyrics are a heated discussion between a servingman to the king and a free and independent husbandman (commoner) about the merits and liabilities of their respective stations in life. (The song originated from Symondsbury, near Bridport, Dorset, in England — so a shout-out to STIR magazine, which is based there!).A sample exchange between the servingman and the husbandman:[Servingman] But then we do wear the finest of grandeur, My coat is trimmed with fur all around; Our shirts as white as milk and our stockings made of silk: That’s clothing for a servingman.[Husbandman] As to thy grandeur give I the coat I wear Some bushes to ramble among; Give to me a good greatcoat and in my purse a grout [coarse meal], That’s clothing for an husbandman.The full lyrics of the song can be found here.. [Husbandman] As to thy grandeur give I the coat I wear Some bushes to ramble among; Give to me a good greatcoat and in my purse a grout [coarse meal], That’s clothing for an husbandman.

This involves the thorny question: How can we honour the vast experience and expertise on the commons and come together inclusively and equitably in a participatory commoning fashion? The Art of Hosting certainly has something to offer here, but also, and most importantly, those that are consciously living and doing the daily work of commoning, in all its complexity, have deep learnings to share to the benefit of building our collective capacity. »see the <a href="http://www.percolab.com/2014/01/art-of-hosting-the-commons/">whole article </a>ww.percolab.com/2014/01/art-of-hosting-the-commons/">whole article </a>)

Across Europe and its neighbouring countries, more and more people are confronted with discrimination and exclusion on a daily basis – whether economically, politically or culturally. As a result, societies are becoming increasingly fragmented, extremism is on the rise, and the divisions between people – and between individuals and institutions – are growing ever wider.Migration, distrust towards traditional institutions and the widening gap between the idea of a democratic Europe and the reality of a divided continent are among the biggest challenges that we are facing at present. These challenges are not new, but they have reached a degree that directly affects existing systems and policies, both at national and European levels.Living with a constant flow of images and information that sustains a ‘permanent state of emergency’, we often adopt defeat, the feeling that there’s-nothing-to-be-done. However, in this worrying situation, it is heartening to see citizens gathering together and taking action: countless bottom-up local, national, and transnational initiatives are enthusiastically showing that there-is-something-to-be-done, and that a more democratic, inclusive, egalitarian, and caring society is not only desired but possible.In this continent of rapidly changing communities, building bridges to help us live alongside each other is an urgent imperative. We need to reinvent and jointly value our present and develop our future together. We need to recreate shared common values and foster open and inclusive communities and societies – with a focus on social justice and human rights.Co-hosted by Platoniq in Spain, ECF’s third Idea Camp will take place from 1 to 3 March 2017. Following local elections in May 2015, which have seen several major cities and smaller towns now governed by citizen lists of candidates, Spain is on track to reinvent itself amidst a hive of social, cultural, and political activism. The many exciting new challenges this hive of activity has raised include a more inclusive and participatory society, ‘a home for all’. Although not free from contradictions, there are many tangible examples across different sectors (cultural, political, economical and social) that interweave inspiring institutional and grassroots actions. The myriad of different cross-sectoral practices in Spain constitute a resourceful laboratory for sharing and highlighting ways in which communities can promote change in Europe.Organized in collaboration with Platoniq, Idea Camp will be held from 1 to 3 March 2017 in Spain and will bring together 50 participants whose innovative ideas demonstrate a firm commitment to encourage political imagination, encourage building links and contribute to the development a society based on the principle of social justice. Based on shared values, inclusion and openness, Idea Camp offers participants a unique opportunity to meet peers from all over Europe and its neighboring countries, whose practices are different carrier chatted. Following the call for ideas, 50 participants are selected on criteria. ECF cover for the duration of the Idea Camp, the cost of travel and living in Spain a representative for each idea. After the Idea Camp, participants will be invited to submit a concrete proposal for research or implementation of their idea. 25 proposals will be selected and will receive a fellowship and development to a maximum of € 10,000.Initiated in 2014, Idea Camp is organized within the framework of « Connected Action for the Commons », an action and research program developed by ECF in collaboration with six cultural organization established in Europe: Culture 2 Commons (Croatia), Les Têtes de l’Art (France), KrytykaPolityczna (Poland), Oberliht (Moldavia), Platoniq – Goteo (Spain) et Subtopia (Sweden).To submit your idea, please fill in the application form here: http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/idea-camp-call/et Subtopia (Sweden).

The context of the event was remarkable; for two months already an unprecedented social movement initiated and driven by students had taken over the streets of Montreal and other cities in the province, mobilizing people across all layers of society with unrivaled levels of involvement. And on this 19th of April, during what was called a “printemps érable” (or maple spring), and rightly so by the depth of its demands, on the eve of the march for Earth Day, reaching what would be the climax of the union of all sectors of the civil society, the protest was held under no other theme but the Commons and gathered nearly 300 000 people. This lunch was indeed very relevant at a time when « the Commons was on every lips », a paper issued by Communautique was widely circulated on the web. Prior to this first of a series of four in 2012, Communautique had contributed to the animation of this subject of the Commons on various occasions by organizing workshops or taking part in events in the charged ambiance of the student protests, particularly suited for participation and innovation. Each of the meetings facilitated the exchange of knowledge in a horizontal way through discussions and « learning circles » following a proven animation methodology that is increasingly used in co-creation, co-design projects and bottom-up social innovation. These methods are described by Percolab, partner of Communautique, who facilitated the discussion at the event. Each lunch was video recorded but was also followed by video productions extending the debate by illustrating some activities of the participants’ activities through interviews and shots taken on their field of operation. These productions were eventually used to fuel the debates at the next breakfasts. <H3>Futur development</H3> The continuation of Montreal lunches could be an occasion for a remix, whether in Dakar or other cities. <H3>Collaborators</H3> Alain Ambrosi and the Communautique team are assisted by Samatha Slade of Percolab. <H3>Financing</H3> Video production of Montréal lunches is made possible by support from the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports in the training mission and a contribution of trainees from Industry Canada’s Youth Internship program. <H3>Rôle of Remix Bien communs</H3> Remix the Commons was the melting pot for the concept of the montreal lunches, and helped by sharing views on the commons with Kër Thiossane from Dakar./> Remix the Commons was the melting pot for the concept of the montreal lunches, and helped by sharing views on the commons with Kër Thiossane from Dakar.)

In Morocco, from 1959 to 1999, Former King Hassan II often ruled his country with an iron fist. That period is called as the years of lead in Morocco, during which those who were considered a threat to the regime were subject to a wide range of human rights violations. Thousands were subjected to arbitrary arrest, torture, and enforced disappearance, leaving behind a bitter legacy.However, starting in the early 1990s, a gradual process of dealing with the past began to take root, culminating most recently in the work of the Moroccan Equity and Reconciliation Commission (Instance Équité et Réconciliation (IER)), established by the successor to the throne, King Mohammed VI.On January 7, 2004, the IER was created, which is the first truth commission in the Arab world. This also has been hailed internationally as a big step forward, and an example to the Arab world. Since that, the IER has been working on addressing the terrible legacy of this era by investigating some of the worst abuses in Morocco and arranging reparations for victims and their families.Over the duration of its mandate, the IER has amassed an archive of more than 20,000 personal testimonies from victims and their families, which has been organized in a central database in Rabat. It has conducted a range of meetings, conferences, and seminars around a multitude of issues that are keys to understanding Morocco’s past and present.It has also taken the monumental step of holding public hearings to give victims a platform from which to share their sufferings. Throughout its work, the Commission has aimed to document, preserve, and analyze the roots of the crisis in an attempt to help Morocco come to terms with its past. Project Justice transitionnelle: l’expérience Marocaine aims to share videos about this process of transitional justice and community reparation. For Morocco, the Community Reparation Project is a huge project contributed to transitional justice. A total sum of 159 million Dirhams was mobilized and total number of completed projects was 149.These videos talked about how to preserve memory of victim communities during “the years of lead” in Morocco and what kinds of public hearings took place, in fact those hearings gave the highlight of an extensive process of citizen deliberation, compassion and free expression in Morocco. They also talked about lots of stories about how community reparation project aimed to improve the living conditions of the people in victim communities and empower them. In fact, those materials mainly focused on women and children.Project Justice transitionnelle: l’expérience Marocaine believes Moroccan experiences in transitional justice as commons are useful and valuable to other countries, especially to Arabic countries have the similar history of transitional justice, such as Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Algeria and so on.As open resources, these documentaries, videos and reports are free to use for the public goods. <h3>Futur development</h3>In the next step, Project Justice transitionnelle: l’expérience Marocaine will keep on sharing more historical videos and materials about experiences in transitional justice, such as the videos of public hearings, the videos of public seminars and conferences, historical pictures and final reports of the community reparation project.<h3>People involved</h3>Ning and Mohamed Leghtas, from Alternatives Forum in Morocco(FMAS) and Portail E-joussour take in charge of this project, which both based in Rabat, Morroco.<h3>Ressources</h3>The project Transitional Justice: the Moroccan experience is financed by the funds of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER)<h3>Contribution to the projet « Justice transitionnelle</h3>Alternatives Forum in Morocco(FMAS) and Portail E-joussour take in charge of this project, which both based in Rabat, Morroco.IER) <h3>Contribution to the projet « Justice transitionnelle</h3> Alternatives Forum in Morocco(FMAS) and Portail E-joussour take in charge of this project, which both based in Rabat, Morroco.)

Empezando en el Foro Social de Belém en 2009, donde tuvimos el primer Encuentro Internacional Ciencia y Democracia, donde se habló de los commons. En este tiempo se hablaba de los bienes comunes, y la declaración final de este foro social mundial de Belém integró una declaración de recuperación de los Bienes Comunes. Desde este tiempo yo hice como siguiendo un poco las manifestaciones, conferencias, que se hacían sobre los comunes, hubo después la conferencia de Berlín organizado también por el Commons Strategies Group pero con la Fundación Heinrich Böll, era el primer encuentro donde la gente de los comunes materiales y de los comunes inmateriales se encontraron por primera vez digamos. Y fue en esta ocasión que hemos pensando y lanzado la idea de un proyecto que se llama Remix the Commons.Entonces contamos un poco en qué consiste Remix the Commons.Remix the Commons es una plataforma de intercambio de difusión, de producción, de documentos multimedia sobre el tema de los comunes. Es una plataforma socio-técnica, donde preferimos hablar más de lo socio que de lo técnico, y decir que es una plataforma que es un espacio de co-creación sobre los comunes. Entonces hemos empezado con entrevistas en todas estas reuniones, foros sociales, pero estamos integrando varios documentos sobre los comunes. Pero la plataforma no es solamente una cosa que va hacer sobre internet; es realmente un espacio de trabajo de co-creación, quiere decir que ya tenemos un montón de problemas que resolver, problemas técnicos que para nosotros es algo menor, pero a nivel jurídico legal porque vamos a hacer circular imágenes, videos, lo cual es un problema grande, y a nivel económico también, porque hay que sustentar este tipo de proyectos y ya tenemos varias ideas de trabajar a nivel de los comunes, porque nosotros nos consideramos com un bien común, quiero decir el proyecto Remix the Commons, queremos funcionar como un bien común, una comunidad de “partenarios” que van a decir las reglas propias, para ir adelante con el proyecto.Entonces tenemos otras dimensiones muy importantes, como la gobernanza, como cuáles reglas vamos a poner y, también, otra dimensión que me parece muy importante que es la dimensión intercultural porque es muy difícil, por ejemplo que hemos visto desde el principio en Berlín: hace dos años tenemos una serie de entrevistas, de series que hablan de los comunes en chino o en otros idiomas, y se ve que el concepto mismo de commons corresponde a algo bien profundo en todas las culturas, y a veces hay diferencias, etc., y entonces es un desafío que me parece muy grande eso, el de la interculturalidad, las traducciones, etc.Remix The Commons es un proyecto colaborativo sobre obras multimedia.

Chargement/Site + (Spain’s recent municipal and regi … Spain’s recent municipal and regional elections have transformed the entire political scene. New citizen coalitions with roots in community groups allied with small progressive political parties won unexpected victories in several large cities. This, plus the fact that two new national political parties – Podemos and Ciudadanos – burst decisively onto the political stage in the regional elections, has blocked the bipartisan (PP-PSOE) system created with the 1975 democratic transition. Victorious in 7 major cities throughout the country, including the 3 largest ones (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia), these coalitions open the door to a different sort of transition, questioning the dominant political culture and mentality, and in most cases putting in place minority governments, thus obliging various parties to negotiate joint platforms. It is interesting to note that Podemos, the young political party that made a surprise showing in the 2014 European elections and made strong gains on the regional level this year, decided not to present its own candidates in the municipal elections, but rather participated in or – more frequently – supported the new citizen coalitions in various cities.<h2>Reinventing Urban Commons for the XXIst Century</h2>These newcomers to the municipal political scene identifiy with the Commons, and in some cases even include the term in their names : Barcelona en Comù, Zaragoza en Comun… A perusal of their programmes and of the manner in which they were developed demonstrates that this is not simply an empty phrase, but the reference to the Commons introduces instead a new political discourse and horizon and, above all, a new way of ‘doing’ politics. The new candidates-elect come from different social movements and this is their first experience in electoral politics. Their ‘non-parties’ are in general less than a year old but the organisations they come from have held massive mobilisations and won significant local victories. On analysis, the new political culture they aim for is rooted in the tradition of urban struggle now revisited and improved on the basis of the citizen movements that originated in the 2008 financial crisis, the indignados of 2011, and the successive ‘waves’ (mareas) that followed in the housing, health, education, culture and urban ecology sectors. The tradition of self-management and ‘self-government’ often rooted in libertarianism and long known as ‘municipalism’ has been revisited by the culture and practices of the many anti-growth, ecological, alter-globalisation, and cultural movements inspired by the spirit of the Indignados of 2011 with an impressive mastery and intelligent use of new technologies and audiovisual media.The challenges facing this new municipalism are enormous : the problems are illustrated by the findings of two international reports revealed immediately following the May 24 elections. The firsti underlined the explosion of the level of poverty since the beginning of the crisis (increase from 9% to 18%) while the secondii demonstrated an increase of 40% of the number of extremely rich during the same period. Adding to the general morosity by reiterating prevailing logic, the IMF seized the occasion, shortly prior to the investiture of the new municipal governments, to congratulate the Spanish government on its ‘encouraging’ economic results while publicly reminding it that it must continue its austerity measures by increasing indirect taxes, cutting health and education budgets still more and lowering wages. What else could be expected from the fans of austerity?<h2>The Re-dignified Good Life In Common</h2>But such dire pronouncements do not scathe the confidence of the new mayors whose campaigns were run and programmes built on an anti-austerity stance; they are already putting in place (Barcelona is a good example) some of the measures set out in their plan of attack for affordable housing, food, accessible public utilities and transportation, and a basic living allowance. They are dedicating an unprecedented quantity of resources for municipal governments to these measures in an explicit attempt to counter the ‘de-humanising’ effects of austerity policies and to ‘restore the dignity’ of the most vulnerable. But the declared intentions of the new municipal leaders go far beyond the emergency measures of the first few months of their term. They want to turn their cities into living experiments in promoting an urban Good Life that redefines economic and social policy and municipal responsabilities as well as democratic practices on the municipal but also the regional, national and international levels. In her inaugural speech as Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau called for the creation of a ‘network of democratic cities in Southern Europe’.<h2>Transparency and Participation</h2>This incipient revolution in political culture and practice is taking place with total transparency, with the creation of a code of ethics, cutting the salaries of the elected representatives and eliminating statutory perks (official cars, per diems, etc) and, above all, by wagering on the collective intelligence and active participation of local citizens. Indeed, many of them have already taken part in the municipal programme by contributing to its elaboration prior to and during the campaign in the many neighbourhood meetings and various ‘crowd-sourcing’ moments on virtual platforms. The resulting highly structured programme remains an open document and is in itself an invitation to participate. The web page of Barcelona en Comù boldly states : ‘The programme you have before you is a programme In Common and, as you can see, that requires a major change from traditional political programmes […] it’s a document that aims to be useful to dialogue amongst citizens.’ iiiDuring her inauguration ceremony, Ada Colau asserted that ‘it is indispensable to create a new form of governance’, reminding the crowd that she is but ‘one of thousands of neighbours’, that she plans to ‘govern by obeying’ and that if she and her team do not deliver on their programme promises ‘Kick us out!’. The thousands of people watching the ceremony on giant screens in Plaza Sant Jaume greeted her speech with shouts of ‘Yes we can!’ (Si se puede), echoing the slogans of the public meetings held throughout the campaign. In a crowd so dense that she could hardly make her way through, but clearly at ease surrounded by ‘neighbours’, comrades and partisans, Ada slipped into the discourse and manner of the ex-president and activist of the PAHiv. With her charming smile, she declared to the enthusiastic crowd that ‘governing will not be easy but we are not alone’ and called on them to show responsability and to actively participate. She concluded evoking the need for empathy and invited the crowd to organise a demonstration in support of the strking telephone workers of Movistar, present in the crowd, and whose struggle she has supported throughout the campaign. The tone has been set, and indicates that it is not only the Commons but also the spirit of the Indignados movement that has come to City Hall.<h2>The Realism of the Commons</h2>In an article titled ‘It’s time for realism’, Josep Ramoneda, columnist for the catalan daily Ara, compared the proposals of Barcelona en Comù to the latest demands of the IMF, demonstrating that the ‘nihilist utopias’ – a label often used by the media and the governing right wing PP party to denigrate progressive alternatives – are instead found in the proposals of the neoliberal hardliners, incapable as they have shown themselves to be of finding a solution to the economic crisis and deepening inequality. He concludes by affirming ‘Let’s be realistic, let us consider the common good’v – a somewhat astonishing comment in this newpaper reputed to be more interested in supporting independence than the Commons. A comment that also reveals that the Commons have come not only to Town Hall, but are emerging in the collective imagination and in political discourse.<h2>A Living Laboratory, an Invitation to Commoning</h2>The emerging glocal movement of commoners and their apprentices should observe closely what transpires in this living laboratory of the urban commons. There is a lot to learn from this commons in action about the nature of the commons, the process of commoning and the possible transition to a commons society. This is also a unique opportunity to contribute peer-to-peer with our own experiences and know-how, developed all over the globe in the many different socio-cultural contexts where the Commons are being reinvented in recent years.Alain Ambrosi, Barcelona, 17 June 20151 OECD, May 2015 <a href="http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/in-it-together-why-lne.ess-inequality-benefits-all_9789264235120-en">http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/in-it-together-why-lne.ess-inequality-benefits-all_9789264235120-en</a> 2 Capgemini and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Wealth Management.

Chargement/Site + (The Charter of the Forest – Carta … The Charter of the Forest – Carta de Foresta – published in 1217, is recognized as the first official act that extends the protections and essential rights of the Magna Carta to the English commoners against the abuses of the aristocracy. Under this charter, the people are guaranteed the right to access forest resources. The impact of this charter has been revolutionary. It is generally considered one of the cornerstones of the British Constitution and<a href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_services/law_library_congress/charter_of_the_forest.html"> inspiration of the American Constitution</a> (2). It has made it possible to render vast expanses of land to the peasants, to oppose the plundering of the common goods by the monarchy and the aristocracy. In the 17th century, it has inspired the Diggers and Levellers and later protests against the enclosure of lands by the capitalist bourgeoisie. But it was repealed in 1971 by a conservative government, allowing the privatization of resources such as water for the benefit of multinational companies.Today, forests remain essential resources for housing, food sovereignty, and are essential for fighting environmental crises. A <a href="http://charteroftheforest800.org/">campaign</a> to celebrate the Forest Charter began in Britain in September and continues in November. The Lincoln Record Society has organized an international conference on the Charter of the Forest that began with a houseboat trip on the River Thames from Windsor to Runnymede, the place where was signed the Magna Carta. Experts presented the Charter of the Forest, its history and its contemporary implications. Participants were also able to see one of the original copies of the Forest Charter and participated in a guided tour of the Forest of Sherwood that (in France) we know through Robin Hood story.Today, there is a debate chaired by the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell MP, with Professors Peter Linebaugh and Guy Standing, and Julie Timbrell of <a href="https://thenewputneydebates.com/">New Putney Debates</a>. This debate is part of a week-long program (6) calling for the creation of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesday_Book">new Domesday Book</a>, a national census of UK landowners and the identification of the common goods as well as a new Commons Charter and Communities Charters. This is to question the notion of land ownership in a country where it is one of the most concentrated in the western countries, and to elaborate proposals, including a possible tax on land ownership, for a better distribution of rights and responsibilities to land.Thanks to Yves Otis for reporting the article <a href="https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/11/youve-never-heard-charter-important-magna-carta.html">Why You’ve Never Heard of a Charter as Important as the Magna Carta</a>Transcript of the Forest Charter: <a href="http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html">http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html</a> Forest Charter: <a href="http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html">http://www.constitution.org/eng/charter_forest.html</a>)

The current police offensive, led by several thousand gendarmes and CRS equipped with armored vehicles and helicopters is only the exercise of the purest State violence against a set of collective practices that are in progress or in preparation. This includes their fragile material conditions (buildings, meeting places, work tools, herds), and they are now destroyed by bulldozers and police squads.Since the first day of assault on the ZAD of Notre-Dame-des-Landes, the destruction of the farm of the «Cents Noms» was a true declaration of social and political war. The destruction of this place was by no means imperative given the criteria invoked by the government in its « communication ». Nicole Klein, Prefect of Loire Region(<a href="#note1" name="retour au texte1"> 1</a>), justifies the police operation by claiming that the «Cents Noms» had not submitted an agricultural project. This is obviously false: the inhabitants of this farm were carrying an alternative agricultural project and some of them had submitted a request for regularization.What is the real reason for this destructive rage? It is not the absence of a project, it is the nature of the projects that is at stake. The State and its representatives do not support the life forms that are experimented here and now, and for the past 10 years. These life forms prefigure a society free from the ownership logic in all its dimensions. From this point of view, it is of the highest symbolic value that the inhabitants and defenders of the zone propose the Assembly of Uses to take charge of the collective management of lands and spaces from the beginning. This solution would’ve had the advantage to straightly extend the experience initiated and pursued for so many years: to make the logic of the common use which is a logic of care and nurture, or to prevail over the logic of land ownership which is a destructive and deadly logic.It is not the « Constitutional State » that defends itself, as the Prime Minister affirms, it is a State of force that wants to eliminate as quickly and completely as possible all actions that could perform the principle of the Common: associations, consumers and workers cooperatives, agricultural and craft projects, convivial modes of exchange and of life. The government wants to prevent the invention of what is a real way of producing and living by using its excessive police force. It also wants to eliminate a solidary and ecological model of life that we need today.The State shows its true face here. It is not only protecting private ownership, but it is itself completely under the logic of ownership. It is the Owner State in war against the commons.

We are rapidly depleting the social, cultural, intellectual, natural, genetic, and material commons. But can we replenish this… Without losing what we’ve gained?
