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

I am particularly interested in the notion of labour and reciprocity in digital commons communities and the political subjectivation around the commoning practices, which i study along with contemporary social movements. Being involved with a Social and Solidarity Economy initiative in Athens over the last year, I came to understand the necessity of studying the collaborative commons economies under the light of the tradition of cooperatives and more broadly the social and solidarity economy initiatives. Last but not least, I do claim that it is of particular importance to reinvent a contemporary feminist approach within the commons culture, since it seems that it has been a domain dominated by men and masculine perception.dominated by men and masculine perception.)

In that context, the issue of the "traditional" commons (land, other natural resources but also seeds) has come up quite strongly, and in particular the need to recognize and protect those spaces and associated collective management practices in international law.

Since graduating in 2011, I have worked respectively on recycling policy, community currencies, and the concepts of ‘biobased’ and ‘circular’ economics. I also coordinated the Dutch ‘great transition’ campaign (De Grote Transitie). While all important and potent, they each (singly) have their limitations, which has brought me to studying the commons paradigm that to me captures the essence of what is at stake here.My key concern is theoretical synthesis and discourse formation. I am attempting to devise a framework that aims to make the dispersed field of the commons intelligible to everyday influencers (i.e. policymakers, managers, civil servants, ngo people, scholars), many of whom appear to have a latent interest in commons thinking, but who are not as commited (and certainly not as well-informed) as we are.In an early rendition of this effort, together with Waag Society I will be running a temporary programme called Open Planbureau (preliminary, Dutch, info on www.openplanbureau.nl).

With a lot of people we made resistance against inappropriate political decisions about public spaces. And we won! We made a short movie about it. Some people showed interest for a citizen movement and several transition initiatives. So the group started with a local money project, and a reflexion about public spaces, to be considered as a Common. We are also working on a ''tree charter''.One of our projects is presentation of books concerning transition into the public library of Saint-Gilles, to initiate a basic reflexion about transition and Commons.So we were like Mister Jourdain, doing Commons without knowing it!Early spring, I made an interview of Michel Bauwens, to be published next year in a Belgian/French magazine (Almanach Soldes Fins de Séries). Now we have planned to establish a Common Assembly, federating several local initiatives.

About four years ago, I gave up all that ineffective advocacy promising myself only to work on real projects that promise immediate benefits. The commons movement is a framework for projects that perfectly fit the prescription!I now lead two communing projects;- the Irish Biochar Cooperative based in Tipperary and the Community Land Trust Initiative based in Dublin.The more advanced is the Irish Biochar Cooperative Society Ltd trading as +Char www.pluschar.ie. Despite its benefits, biochar still remains a niche technology / product known only to few environmentalists. We think we can mainstream biochar using a business model that has proved very successful in Irish agriculture in the 1930-50s - the agricultural cooperative. For these times, we decided we needed a multi stakeholder /open cooperative to succeed. The Biochar Coophas 8 founder members representing workers, producers, users, service providers and community. We hope to expand with roll out of our habitat management services and new farm products this year.The Community Land Trust Initiative (CLTI) is a forum for now while we discuss the best model to take forward. The CLTI comprises a 40+ group of building, planning and housing professionals, activists, politicians and builders who are determined to address Ireland's housing crisis and see common ownership of land as a fundamental part of the solution.

I am a board member of the Dutch Moderators Association and active in the Dutch Association of Journalists.Some words about this Citizens Summit: On the 6th of June last year 250 Amsterdammers came together to work out plans for a better, more just and more inclusive city. It was a long struggle to get this Summit off the ground, mainly because the political culture in the city is very inward-focused. But with the help of over a hundred volunteers we succeeded and the participants worked out 60 concrete plans in one day, trough a deliberative proces at 35 round tables. (If you are interested, I wrote a paper on the Summit called 'Dismantling the Theatre of Democracy’ in Estonian publication Ehituskunst, you can download it here as pdf: http://www.bartcosijn.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Ehituskunst_2016_Bart-Cosijn.pdf)In many places and cities, I experience a great willingness of ordinary citizens to invest personal time in their community. On the other hand, I am deeply worried that the willingness to participate in formal local (representative) democracies in Europe is very low. In Amsterdam the turnout in local elections is just over 50%, in some boroughs even less than 40%. New deliberative practices, online and offline, are emerging. But party-politics and elections-cycles are very dominant in our democratic systems. We need each other to redefine the democratic and public domain, to make it more open, more inclusive, more common and less politicized.clusive, more common and less politicized.)

In this capacity I supported open policy, open business models, and open practices across all kinds of open initiatives including Open Access, Open Educational Resources, open data, open science, and open culture. I'm the co-author of a recently published book Made With Creative Commons. This book makes the case that sharing is good for business, especially for companies, organizations, and creators who care about more than just the bottom line. It includes 24 case studies of hybrid organizations who are part market or state and part commons. All of this work has led me to see the great social and economic benefits of the commons - in all its forms. Having started out focusing on the digital commons I'm now coming to embrace the physical commons and position my go forward efforts in a way that embraces both the digital and physical. Commons work in Europe seems significantly more advanced than in North America but I'm sensing a growing interest here so I've started speaking to people about the possibility of to establishing a NA Commons Assembly.

Technically - because the question of the commons are technological questions too - we propose to elaborate "new urbane rivers" which are note more than a network of decentralized devices cocreates with inhabitants of the valley. This kind of program is not yet fully recognized by the authorities who are continuing to develope centralized technology. But academics of this city are really interested.On the field of the commons self, I have propose several years ago the concept of Festival des biens commons which became Commons Josaphat.

Having worked all my life to afford my own home, I'm not sufficiently financially autonomous to be able to go and do something meaningful (and presumably poorly paid or unpaid). Yet I think that is what I should be focusing on from an ethical and moral standpoint, to contribute what little I may be able to, to change the way things currently are.
