Dear Hans, I have added you to the common document with the paragraph below, we will attempt to integrate all the proposals in a common project, Michel <Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 23:03:59 +0200 From: Hans Lammerant <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [P2P-F] [berkmanfriends] looking for academics studying the "Sharing Economy" To: P2P Foundation mailing list <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hello Michel, do you also need input from a legal researcher? I am working at the moment at the LSTS (Law, Science, Technology and Society) research group of the Brussels University (VUB). I think this is a project in which we can contribute. Legal discussions arise more often with these new forms of sharing platforms like Uber: when does participation in legal terms become labour, trade, ... and triggers the application of those legal frameworks. Question is then how these frameworks can be adapted in a balanced way, both to avoid it is used to evade legal protection for workers and to protect participants. I am personally interested to participate in this project. At the moment I am working on a project concerning big data and open data, but I have also done work on labour law and privacy/data protection. Best wishes, Hans Lammerant?-- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
